Tips for trade fair planning

Messe Berlin has developed a Visitor Guide for industry representatives along with comprehensive online offers and service tools to facilitate planning and preparation for a successful trade fair visit.

The FRUIT LOGISTICA Visitor Guide contains information about the trade event along with numerous tips, a checklist and appointment calendar for planning ahead. The guide is available for download from the Visitor Service section on the FRUIT LOGISTICA website. This is where fairgoers will find information from affiliated companies offering Berlin travel packages and hotel reservations.

The Virtual Market Place (www.fruitlogistica.com / Exhibitor Search) is an indispensible tool when it comes to planning. This web platform contains complete details on FRUIT LOGISTICA exhibitors. Throughout the year, trade fair visitors, journalists and produce industry players can use the Virtual Market Place to contact these companies directly and find out about their products and services. FRUIT LOGISTICA participants can also use the online appointment calendar to set up meetings with exhibiting companies ahead of time and plan their trade fair rounds online.
