BLACK BOX – the new immersive experience format at BAU!
Experience cutting-edge innovations integrated along real-world process chains! Whether in the experience hubs or on the BLACK BOX Stage—this is where trends, technologies, and ideas come to life.
BLACK BOX: where the future of construction becomes an experience for all the senses!
BLACK BOX at BAU 2027 is not just another exhibition area, but a completely new experiential format in Hall B0. Here, the future of construction isn’t simply on display—it’s spatially staged and can be experienced firsthand!
BLACK BOX breaks new ground. Instead of traditional trade fair booth, the focus is on the industry’s core processes, from planning and execution to decision-making and implementation. Brands, content, and innovative solutions come together to form an interconnected world of experiences that opens up new perspectives on the industry.
BLACK BOX deliberately breaks with traditional trade show concepts. It creates space for attention, inspiration, and exchange—and shows what the construction of tomorrow might feel like.
Where: Hall B0
When: During regular opening hours
