Publishers of unauthorized directories often offer exhibitors an entry into low-quality directories
in the months leading up to an exhibition. In some cases, these unauthorized directories even
hide long-term payment requests in four-digit amounts in the small print. The Association of the
German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) provides information on how to avoid becoming a victim of
this directory scam.
Exhibitors and their subcontractors are obliged to effectively contribute to the avoidance
of waste during every phase of an event. This goal has to be pursued in coordination with
all participants, starting in the planning phase. In general, reusable and environmentally
compatible materials should be used for stand construction and operation.
For more information please refer to the booth construction guidelines.
