Awareness & Communication

• Using the floor plan, exhibitor list and matchmaking app, plan your time at the event and try to book meetings in advance.
• Please ensure you register and print your badge before attending the event – this is crucial, as we have implemented a reduced-contact registration system so there will be very limited opportunity to do this onsite.

Cleaning and Personal Hygiene

• Hand sanitiser stations are available across the venue and especially in high traffic areas. However, we advise that exhibitors and visitors carry their own as a measure of additional safety to avoid crowding around sanitiser stations.
• In accordance with current regulations in Germany, it is compulsory to wear face masks within German exhibition and conference venues, this is upon entry to Messe Berlin.
• We have asked exhibitors to ensure a deeper clean before, during and after the show opens each day; paying particular attention to high traffic touchpoints and consider visible cleaning logs.

• Along with Messe Berlin, we are conducting a thorough, enhanced, cleaning regime of all public areas and features prior to show opening and during show open periods.

Social Distancing

• We are trying to make all gangways 4m wide with two-way systems. There may be some gangways with one-way systems where this is not possible. Please follow the signage and be aware of those around you.
• When walking around the event, we ask you to please keep to the left of any gangway to minimise paths crossing.
• We are implementing a no handshake policy. Please refrain from this or sharing business cards with one another.

• Social distancing measures should be followed for any meetings, product demonstrations, entertainment or stand hospitality events.
• We have asked exhibitors to remove giveaways and consider sending brochures electronically.

• Consider arranging meetings in advance at less busy times. A well timed and spread out schedule should include enhanced protective measures for meetings over 15 minutes.
