Bavaria welcomes back trade fairs after government decision

Munich, the home of major construction exhibition Bauma, will host trade fairs again after the state government gave its approval

The decisive factor for this was the successful implementation of the hygiene and infection protection concept at the pilot event TrendSet, which took place from 10 to 12 July on the grounds of trade fair organiser Messe München.

With an increase in visitors of almost 30%, Messe München said the guest event demonstrated the strong demand for in-person meetings. Upcoming events can therefore take place as planned, and the news is encouraging with Munich hosting the Bauma construction event next year.

Klaus Dittrich, chairman and CEO of Messe München, said: “The hard work by our employees and those responsible at TrendSet on the concept and implementation of hygiene and infection protection measures has now been rewarded. We have taken all measures to ensure safe trade fair operations.

“With the approval of the political authorities, we are now ready for the autumn trade fair season.”
