In-depth guides written by exhibition designers, brand experience leads, and former fair organisers.
Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), the worlds leading aircraft-cabin fair, runs 14-16 April 2026 at Hamburg Messe with 460 exhibitors and 12,000 attendees. A small fair with enormous stakes, it demands displaying high-value cabin hardware and hosting fleet-level negotiations. This guide covers stand cost, cabin-hardware freight, the co-located WTCE, sustainability and staffing for airline buyers.
Vitafoods Europe, the worlds leading nutraceutical event, runs 5-7 May 2026 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via with 1,600 exhibitors and 30,000+ attendees. Half food fair and half pharma fair, it demands both sampling capability and meeting capacity. This guide covers stand cost, cold-chain sample freight, presenting a regulated industry credibly, and how to plan a Barcelona sourcing week.
productronica, the worlds leading electronics-production fair, runs 16-19 November 2027 at Messe Munchen with 1,600 exhibitors and 47,000 visitors, nine in ten of them decision-makers. This guide covers what a stand costs, why the demonstration matters more than the size, equipment freight, the electronica alternation and how to staff for a senior technical audience.
Fakuma, the leading fair for industrial plastics processing, runs 12-16 October 2026 in Friedrichshafen with 1,900 exhibitors and 36,000 professionals. Because exhibitors run live injection-moulding and extrusion machinery, this guide covers the electrical, cooling and freight demands that drive cost, the Friedrichshafen accommodation constraint, builder selection and how to demonstrate circular-economy capability.
Most stand-cost guidance stops at mid-sized stands. This guide sets realistic per-sqm and total-build figures for 100 and 200 sqm stands across Europe, explains why large-stand costs do not scale linearly, and works through the two biggest cost forks: single vs double deck, and custom vs reusable, plus how to tender a six-figure stand.
Cologne hosts world-leading fairs including gamescom, Anuga and imm cologne on the Koelnmesse grounds. Because each fair demands a completely different stand, this guide covers how Cologne stand cost is set by the fair not the city, the venues on-site rail freight advantage, builder selection and how to plan a Koelnmesse presence in 2026.

Builders that earn our Verified badge are checked against business registration, portfolio evidence, and fair attendance records, with the checks and date on record. Builders indexed from public sources but not yet reviewed are clearly marked as unverified. Featured placements are clearly labelled. We never sell ranking position in the unpaid results.
How we vet buildersExhibition Stands EU indexes stand builders across 30+ European cities and 50+ major trade fairs. Builders that pass our editorial review against business registration, portfolio evidence, and fair attendance records carry a Verified badge; others are marked unverified. You can browse by city, by fair, or submit an RFQ once and receive proposals from up to three matched builders.
Yes. Browsing the directory, reading our guides, comparing fairs, and submitting RFQs is completely free for exhibitors. We are funded by paid featured listings from builders and by advertising on editorial content, never by charging visitors for access.
Our blog covers six main areas relevant to European exhibitors: booth design (materials, lighting, modular vs custom), exhibition strategy (pre-show marketing, lead capture, ROI), logistics and setup (shipping, customs, install, dismantle), fair participation (selection, budgeting, staffing), industry trends (sustainability, AR/VR, AI), and regional guides for the major European exhibition markets.
Featured builders pay for premium placement at the top of city and fair directory pages. They are still required to pass the same vetting process as any free listing — payment buys placement, not exemption from verification. Featured status is clearly labelled wherever it appears.
Use the apply page to submit your business for review. We verify your registration, portfolio, and fair history before listing. Basic verified listings are free; featured placement is optional. Verification typically takes 3-5 business days.
