Augsburger Schwabenhallen Messe- und Veranstaltungsgesellschaft mbH and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH are the latest new members of AUMA – the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry.
By 2027, exhibition companies in Germany wish to invest more than 550 million euros in their exhibition centres. These funds will flow primarily into the modernisation and refurbishment of exhibition halls and conference venues.
AUMA Manager Jörn Holtmeier, Vice President of the UFI Associations Committees since 2020, will be taking on the role of Chair of the international Associations Committee in November 2023.
Germany’s trade fairs enter the second half of the year. Germany recorded almost seven million trade fair visitors from January to June. The annual publication "AUMA-Trends 2023/2024" shows further developments in the trade fair industry.
A first glance at 2024 promises an incredibly strong trade fair year with no fewer than 350 trade fairs to be held in Germany. Global and European leading trade fairs in close succession will become centres of attraction for national and international exhibiting companies.
