Messe Berlin GmbH's Technical Guidelines continue to apply unchanged.

Here are a few tips for the booth:

• Plan your trade show booth generously enough. Avoid unnecessary constrictions.
• Top enclosed spaces are not recommended. Rooms where visitor traffic occurs should be designed to be open for adequate air exchange. At a minimum, full ventilation should be provided.
• Plan for adequately sized lounging or visiting areas.
• Generously design seating areas and meeting rooms.
• We recommend providing hand disinfectants as well as disposable mouth masks at the exhibition stand.
• Smooth wipeable surfaces are easier to clean.

Yes, there is no general ban on events at the stand. As the person responsible for the event at the stand, you are responsible for compliance with the applicable hygiene and safety measures.

There is no defined number, rather the exhibitor is responsible for ensuring compliance with the protective and hygiene measures to be observed on his stand area. Ensure your stand features ample open space. Avoid unnecessary constrictions and, if necessary, use alternative measures such as hygiene barriers.

No, there is no longer an obligation for contact tracking.

You can book stand cleaning as usual after registering as an exhibitor at BECO-Webshop. Additional cleaning services (e.g. disinfection) can also be commissioned in accordance with your individual requirements on the basis of an additional cost offer. In addition, you as an exhibitor should appoint a responsible employee who will act as the local contact person for compliance with hygiene and distance regulations.

Yes, however, the safety and hygiene regulations must be observed. In addition to the official requirements [SARS-CoV-2 Infection Protection Ordinance of the State of Berlin], the recommendations of the DEHOGA and the BGN publication "Supplement to the Risk Assessment for the Hospitality Industry" must also be observed.
