Nuremberg exhibition centre: 16 halls around a central park

The Nuremberg exhibition centre in the Langwasser district offers 16 halls with around 180,000 m² of covered gross exhibition space and up to 50,000 m² of outdoor area, plus the NürnbergConvention Center (NCC) with room for up to 12,800 participants. Spielwarenmesse, BIOFACH, embedded world, SPS, it-sa, Chillventa, BrauBeviale and FACHPACK are all held here. The halls are grouped around a central park and distances are shorter than on the very largest grounds — a schedule still pays off.

We agree in advance which hall your stand is in, whether partner stands or forum appearances need including, and where we are at which time. That produces a realistic timetable instead of a hurried loop.

If you are flying in for the show

A large part of our client base comes to Nuremberg for a single week from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, the Gulf, Pakistan and China. Everything on our side runs in English — the quote, the briefing, the direction on the day and the delivery.

You do not need to arrange anything locally. We arrive with our own cameras, lenses and lighting, meet you at the stand, and agree the shot list in about ten minutes. We work around your meeting schedule rather than the other way round. Nuremberg Airport is linked to the city centre by the U2 underground line, and the exhibition centre has its own U1 station (Messe).

Invoicing is handled by a German GmbH with a VAT identification number, so for EU-registered businesses the reverse-charge procedure applies and no German VAT is added. Our own travel and any overnight stay appear as separate, clearly labelled lines in the quote — never hidden in the package price.

Travel from Essen — quoted separately and transparently

Nuremberg is not a short hop from Essen. We plan the journey so that we are at the stand before the doors open — the only reliable window for clean stand shots without visitors in frame; in practice that means arriving the day before. Travel and the overnight stay are stated separately and transparently in the quote; they are not included in the package prices.

On multi-day bookings that weighs far less per day, which is why a full first day plus a shorter follow-up block often makes the most sense in Nuremberg.

When the different shots should be taken

The hour before the doors open belongs to the stand: architecture, signage, exhibits, lighting — no visitors in frame and no crates in the background. These are the images for your website, your press pack and next year's stand proposal.

Between roughly 10:00 and 13:00 the footfall peaks. That is when the busy pictures happen: full stands, conversations, demonstrations, people in motion. Late afternoon, once the rush drops off, is the window for team portraits and interviews.

At embedded world, SPS or it-sa, technology, screens and consultations dominate — there, demos and conversation shots are the more valuable material. At Spielwarenmesse, BIOFACH or BrauBeviale, presentation of the merchandise counts: products, packaging, tastings. There we work closer to the product and with more detail shots.

Permissions and practicalities

Exhibitor pass: For your own stand an exhibitor pass via the exhibitor service portal is normally sufficient. Please allow a few days before the fair.Neighbouring stands: Aisle shots frequently include other exhibitors. Normal for your own communications; for advertising with a prominent third-party logo we obtain consent first.People in frame: We ask visitors before they are photographed recognisably in the foreground. For your own stand staff we recommend a short written consent form — we can supply a template.Time slot: If you book only two hours, we recommend the block around opening — it covers clean stand shots and the first wave of visitors.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a trade fair photographer in Nuremberg cost?

From €990 plus VAT for two hours of photo and video on site with at least 30 edited images and a 30-second highlight video. Four hours from €1,490, full-day coverage from €1,990. Travel and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Is travelling from Essen worth it for a single day?

For shorter assignments a full day usually makes more sense than a three-hour block, since the journey is incurred regardless. Many clients book a full first day and add shorter blocks on following days for interviews and stage programme.

Can you cover several halls?

Yes. If your brand is present in more than one place we plan the routes in advance. For parallel commitments we recommend a second photographer — included in the Premium package.

Will we get images the same day?

Yes. For our event packages we deliver a first edited selection the same day, depending on schedule, scope and package.
