Search Tips

The search function offers German and worldwide search and selection of branches, dates, venues, titles and organisers. The search criteria can be used both indi­vid­ually and combined. In the case of individual applications of search criteria all of the hits for trade fairs are shown in each case. By adding further trade fair categories and filters the search can be extended and improved.

Search for industry sectors

You can search for trade fairs by industry branch (special number). If you do not know what industry the product or service you are looking for is placed in, you can find it using the following industry search terms. The relevant industry is automatically placed into the selection window.

Search According to Regions and Venues

The search according to regions and venues is undertaken via the search criteria Continent, Country, State and City.

The search can only be improved from large to small: the continent chosen is followed by the country, the federal state and finally the city.

Exhibitions in the AUMA category regional are attended mainly by visitors from the local region. In general, significantly more than 50% of the visitors are from areas less than 100 km from the venue. They focus on products and services which may also originate from outside the local region.

Exhibitions categorised by AUMA as neu (new) are added to AUMA’s trade fair database providing the organisers are members of AUMA and FKM and that AUMA charges exhibitor fees for these fairs. Exhibitions which are new as of this year will be shown.

Exhibitions in the AUMA category internationally travelling exhibition are trade fairs held in alternating locations around the world and are hosted in Germany no more than once every five years. The organisers of these events generally operate outside of Germany. The fairs therefore occur rather infrequently in Germany. In many cases, the information regarding the individual trade fairs therefore does not conform to the usual standards for the AUMA database.

The Exhibitor, space and visitor figures of events certified by FKM are collected and audited according to unified rules. Therefore they are reliable and comparable. (FKM-Society for Volontary Control of Fairs and Exhibition Statistics). For further information please visit www.fkm.de.
