To participate in BAU as a main or co-exhibitor, you must be eligible to be admitted to one of the fair's exhibition sectors.
Keep track of your budget: All the fees and charges are set out here in our participation fees .
To exhibit at BAU, you must complete the online application form. Based on the information that you provide on that form, we look to see if the portfolio of your company fits in with the product index of BAU.
There is no official application deadline.
The placement start date was on September 6, 2021. Placement proposals will be sent out after receipt of the application.
Sending out a stand proposal for certain sections of certain halls may be delayed because of waiting lists.
Until you confirm your stand proposal, your application for BAU is non-binding. In other words, you can cancel your application up until then without incurring any costs.
However, we need you to complete the online application in advance so that we can process your information and assign you booth space.
Main exhibitors can register co-exhibitors to exhibit at their booth as long as they are eligible to participate based on the product index. The online application for registering co-exhibitors must be completed by the main exhibitor.
The application for co-exhibitors is €900 per co-exhibitor. This includes the mandatory communication fee. This fee is billed to the main exhibitor.
The mandatory communication fee allows co-exhibitors to enjoy the same benefits as main exhibitors. In other words, they are listed as an independent company in all print and online media.
Apart from the mandatory communication fee, there are no other participation fees for co-exhibitors (see previous point).
If co-exhibitors book additional marketing services via the Exhibitor Shop , these charges will be billed in their final invoice.
For the duration of BAU, each exhibitor receives a certain number of free exhibitors passes for their booth.
Additional exhibitor passes may be ordered for a fee from the Exhibitor Shop .
Costs for exhibitor passes depending on duration of use per ticket:
1 day: 27 EUR
2 days: 32 EUR
3 days: 36 EUR
4 days: 40 EUR
5 days: 42 EUR
6 days: 44 EUR
Exhibitor passes are personalized and only intended for booth personnel and may not be handed over to third parties. We reserve the right to confiscate exhibitor passes if they are misused. By accepting co-exhibitors at your booth, you are not entitled to more exhibitor passes.
For set-up and dismantling you do not need an exhibitor pass or an entrance ticket.
Regulations for driving onto the exhibition site are set out in the Traffic Guide which will be available for download at a later point.
Co-exhibitors do not receive any free exhibitor passes. Exhibitor passes can be ordered online for a fee from the Exhibitor Shop .
Before you confirm your stand proposal, you can cancel your participation without charge.
Cancellation charges apply when you want to cancel your participation after you have confirmed your stand proposal. Requests to cancel must be submitted in writing.
If the booth space can be rented to another exhibitor, the cancellation charge is 25% of the participation price. We will of course try to rent the space to another exhibitor but will initially charge you 100% of the agreed participation price.
If the space can be rented to another exhibitor, you will then receive a credit voucher after the fair for 75% of the participation price you paid. If we are not able to rent the space to another exhibitor, then, in line with our General Terms of Participation (A5), we will retain 100% of the participation price.
