The application applies to stand space only at electronica. Additional fees such as the AUMA fee, the waste-disposal fee and the advance payment for services are described in the FAQs.
The admission invoice includes the mandatory communication fee (1), the AUMA (Association of the German Trade Fair Industry) fee and the mandatory waste disposal fee at the trade-fair center during the fair. When you submit your application, you also agree to make a down payment for any services that you order.
Any services that you need such as stand construction and related furnishings / equipment (such as partitions, carpeting, electricity) as well as exhibitor passes and advertising materials can be ordered for a fee through the Exhibitor Shop. We will automatically inform you as soon as the online order system becomes available.
The Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) protects the interests of the German trade-fair industry with an extensive range of programs and services. In return, it charges all exhibitors a fee of EUR 0.60 (net) per square meter of rented exhibition space. Messe München invoices exhibitors for this fee and passes it along directly to AUMA. This is a customary practice among organizers of trade fair and exhibitions in Germany. Information about AUMA is available here: www.auma-messen.de
A fixed-rate advance payment of EUR 20 (net) per square meter of rented exhibition space is included in the admission invoice for services such as electricity, water and telephone connections. This advance payment does not depend on the existence or size of any order(s) actually placed. After the fair, the advance payment will be applied to the cost of actually ordered services in the final invoice.
The mandatory fixed-rate waste-disposal fee for the set-up and dismantling as well as the duration of the fair covers the costs of disposing of waste that collects at the exhibitor's stand during the fair itself. This fee is EUR 4.00 per square meter of stand space plus VAT. Waste disposal must comply with the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Technical Guidelines.
The communication fee of EUR 810 includes the basic entry (1) (print, online and mobile) ias well as one copy of the printed catalog (available at the fair while supplies last) and other communication services.
(1) The basic entry includes the following:
Summary about the increase of the communication fee
The minimum size of a stand at electronica is 20 square meters. As a rule, smaller stands are not possible due to the grid system in the halls. So-called combination packages in specific exhibition sectors are an exception. They call for stands that are 9 square meters or 12 square meters in size. However, these packages are only available in the indicated exhibition sectors and can only be booked by companies whose primary area of activity falls under those categories. Another exception is the New Exhibitor Package, which has a stand size of 16 square meters. This offer is available to companies exhibiting at electronica for the first time.
There are various complete stands to choose from for electronica.
Complete stands starting at 20 square meters are available from our partner MEPLAN. Some stand packages are theme related and only available in specific exhibition sectors, while other stand packages are available in all exhibition sectors. Additional information is available in the “Plan your stand” section of the website.
Whether it comes to help building you stand, exhibitor passes or advertising materials, electronica has a diverse range of additional services for exhibitors. Details are available in our Exhibitor Shop, where you can also conveniently order these services online.
Exhibitors receive a certain contingent of free exhibitor passes for their stand for the duration of the fair. If their stand is up to 20 square meters in size, they receive 3 passes. If their stand is larger than 20 square meters in size, they receive one pass for each additional 20 square meters or portion thereof. Starting at a stand size of 161 square meters, they receive two passes for each additional 20 square meters or portion thereof.
Exhibitors who book a combination package in one of the Focus Areas receive two passes per stand.
Additional exhibitor passes will be available as of mid-2020. Exhibitor passes must be personalized. They are only intended for stand personnel and can be ordered through the Exhibitor Shop. They may not be passed on to third parties. In the event of unauthorized use, Messe München is entitled to confiscate the exhibitor pass.
Please note:
Having co-exhibitors/additionally represented companies at your stand does not increase the number of exhibitor passes. Exhibitor passes do NOT entitle the holder to use public transportation services provided by MVV (Munich Transport and Tariff Association) free of charge.
A printed voucher or an online voucher for a one-day ticket is a free admission voucher for your customers that you can order in our Exhibitor Shop. You can use these vouchers for professional invitation and contact management, i.e. as an added incentive for your customers to visit your exhibition stand.
Exhibitors have access to an unlimited number of vouchers (online or print)! Invoicing is based on the number of vouchers that are actually used. You only pay for vouchers that are actually redeemed to attend the fair. The total number of vouchers for which you will be charged is limited to three tickets per square meters of confirmed stand space.
Co-exhibitors still need to apply through the main exhibitor. The main exhibitor receives an appropriate link which can be used to apply as co-exhibitor on his stand.
All co-exhibitors enjoy the same benefits as main exhibitors, i.e. they are listed as independent exhibitors in the exhibition catalog and the online exhibitor directory.
A co-exhibitor is any company that has its own personnel and its own products or services on display at a main exhibitor's stand. That includes companies from the same group of companies as the main exhibitor and subsidiaries. The form must be signed by the main exhibitor.

To maintain electronica’s character as a communications platform and working exhibition, we would like to take this opportunity to point out the following regulation for electronica 2020:
Messe München GmbH is entitled to stipulate changes in stand design in this context. Stand designs can only be approved if the open sides of the stand have a uniformly open design. Erecting closed walls is permitted, provided they do not take up more than 70 percent of the stand side in question, and completely closed walls may be no more than 6 meters in length. A closed length of wall measuring 6 meters must be followed by an opening that is at least 2 meters wide. This rule does not apply if the wall concerned is set back from the stand perimeter by at least 2 meters. The rear side of the walls of your stand that are more than 2.5 meters high must be of a neutral design, white, smooth, clean and free of installation materials.
As a rule, our Traffic Guide should answer all of your questions. As soon as it is finalized, you can download it from our website. If you have additional questions, please contact the Traffic and Safety Department.
Please note that, for safety reasons, cranes, fork-lift trucks and working platforms may only be used if they are provided by the competent service partners of Messe München GmbH pursuant to our Technical Guidelines No. 5.2. An overview of our contractors is available in our Exhibitor Shop.
Pursuant to the Technical Guidelines No. 2.5, Messe München GmbH or the security service contracted by it for the exhibition grounds provides guards at the gates and on the exhibition grounds. However, we cannot guarantee complete guarding and surveillance of the grounds of the trade-fair center. Exhibitors must arrange for security guards for their stands, exhibition goods and other objects at their stands, if required. Corresponding order forms are available in our Exhibitor Shop. Please keep in mind that exhibits and other objects brought in during setup and dismantling times are at a greater risk.
