english corporate news
Space booking is open
for Düsseldorf 2010
The dates are confirmed for next year’s
wire Düsseldorf exhibition, 12th–16th
April 2010, and advance information for
exhibitors and visitors is available from
the organisers, Messe Düsseldorf, via the
website,
Messe Düsseldorf is already accepting
space bookings. New and previous
exhibitors should log on to .
de/2330 (or for
German language pages) and follow the
links to the application forms.
New exhibitors applying online will also
need to print and post their application,
but previous exhibitors can complete the
entire process online. Companies wishing
to be part of the International Wire &
Machinery Association (IWMA) exhibitor
group should send applications direct
to the association, rather than to Messe
Düsseldorf. Contact the association’s
secretariat for details of the package.
New for 2010 is a web portal media
package for all exhibitors. A compulsory
charge of €320 provides each exhibitor
with an online company profile, product
details, latest company news, details of
the exhibition stand staff, a programme
of events on the stand, an online
appointment diary, links to the company
website, a video presentation and much
more.
Fully searchable, the information will
be easily found by browsers and visitors
and, with secure password access, can
be updated and maintained before,
during and after the fair. This information
will also be available on the KATI visitor
information system.
The web portal is not expected or
designed to replace the wire Düsseldorf
catalogue, which will continue to be the
first – and best – tool for visitors planning
their visit and finding their way around
the halls, as well as providing a valuable
resource after the event.
Details and entry forms for the 2010
show catalogue are available from Thos.
Neureuter, Fair Media Office, and online
via , which
gives details of a special ‘early bird’ offer
to exhibitors.
After extensive surveys conducted
during and after the wire/Tube 2008
show, event organisers Messe Düsseldorf
have confirmed that the ‘Metav’ 2010
exhibition will be held separately from
wire/Tube 2010, allowing wire to occupy
its traditional halls, 9 to 12, with fastener
technology in halls 15 and 16, and spring
making in halls 16 and 17.
