As of 7 July 2021, there are no longer any virus variant areas within Europe. This means that trade fair participants from all over Europe can travel to trade fairs in Germany.

AUMA welcomes the opening plans in some federal states such as Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, which also offer a perspective for trade fairs. Exhibition lockdown in Germany costs 40 billion euros so far.

Klaus D. Kremers, President of Paradies GmbH, was re-elected as 2nd Vice Chairman for another three years at the AUMA General Meeting. New members of the AUMA Board are Martin Buhl-Wagner, Martin Ecknig and Henning Könicke.

This year, Global Exhibitions Day celebrated the safe return of trade fairs and their role in accelerating economic recovery. In Germany, too, the trade fairs and the trade fair venues are ready for a safe new start. We are looking forward to it!

There are now clear rays of hope for exhibitions in Germany. The majority of the federal states have now formulated prospects for a new start for trade faitrs. Several trade fair organisers have confirmed planned trade fair dates for July.
