In the tab "My profile" your personal data from your registration will be taken over. You can change and add to them at any time. This data is used to suggest the best possible matches for you.

With the help of an algorithm and your user behaviour, we check the matches between your details in the networking section and the details of the other participants. If you open the details by clicking on the name, you will see the areas in which you have matches. By changing your interests you will receive other matches.

Under "Search participants" in the networking section, you can also find other participants. With the help of filter options, you can narrow down your results.

For initial registration and preparation, the Digital Extension will be activated as follows:

• Opening of Digital Extension for exhibitors: 6 January 2023
• Opening of Digital Extension for visitors and press: 13 January 2023

The full scope of the platform will be available to all trade show participants from 3 February 2023, in parallel with the start of the physical trade show, and will then be available to you until 17 February 2023. This allows you to follow up on the trade show at your leisure, download contacts and chat histories, follow up on leads, or view selected events again.

People who are in different locations can use a videocall to talk on the phone and see each other via video at the same time.

You can participate in a video call with a laptop, PC or mobile device. To be able to use all the functions of a video call, you need a device with a camera and a microphone.

Mobile devices may have limitations due to different versions of the various operating systems.

The digital presence is included in the obligatory media package for exhibitors.

As soon as information is filled out in the Media Package Manager (MPM), the exhibitor can see directly in the preview how it will look on the website, in the app, etc. The Digital Extension will go online for exhibitors on 2 January 2023 (for visitors and media representatives only two weeks later). This time can be used to optimize the digital profile.

The exhibitor pass is the access authorization to the digital platform. Exhibitor passes are created in the exhibitor ticket portal (ATP). Once they have been created, you can log in to the digital platform with your Messe-login. If you do not yet have a Messe-login, you can easily register for this.

Please note, that each staff member needs their own Messe-Login. Unfortunately, exhibitor passes cannot be created with the same e-mail address.

Exhibitor passes are valid for both the face-to-face event and the digital platform. With your exhibitor pass, you can use them for the entire duration of the event.

The main contact person is the company representative who is the first point of contact for correspondence with the exhibition team. This person has admin rights on the platform and can activate additional profiles and appoint one or more representatives who also have admin rights. In addition, the main contact person can edit the exhibitor profile.

Your exhibitor profile, which you create via the Media Package Manager (MPM), will be transferred to the digital platform. You will find information on the technical requirements below.
