In 2026 belektro is part of gedatec, Messe Berlin's new trade fair for building technology: electrical, plumbing and heating, and roofing trades meet planners, architects and energy consultants across six halls. We photograph and film your stand (booth) so switchgear, luminaire and wallbox read as products and your conversations with the trade are kept as material.

belektro at gedatec sets the camera three different tasks. Luminaires are light sources themselves — photographing them means showing lamp, light effect and housing at the same time without the picture burning out or the room going black. We expose for the luminaire and bring the surroundings back with a little of our own light, so colour temperature and distribution are recognisable.
Switchgear, distribution boards and terminals are the opposite: grey, small, no shine. Here we work with side lighting and detail shots so labels, terminal blocks and connections are legible. Wallboxes, inverters and smart-home hubs have painted or glazed fronts with displays; we choose position and exposure so display and housing work together in one frame.
gedatec is a contractors' show. Your visitors are master craftsmen, journeymen and planners from the electrical, plumbing and heating, and roofing trades who touch, unscrew and ask. We photograph these conversations and demonstrations at the exhibit without flash and without interruption — the material that shows your products have arrived in the trade, for wholesale partners, trade press and LinkedIn.
If your product manager speaks in one of the open forums, such as the de-Innovationsforum or the ep-Forum, or demonstrates an installation on the stand, we film it as a short clip with radio mics. A contractor explaining in 30 seconds why he installs your terminal or your wallbox convinces colleagues more than any advert.
At a three-day show, trade visitors with appointments concentrate on days one and two. We recommend a four-hour package on Tuesday or Wednesday: the hour before visitors are admitted at 9:00 for clean stand and product shots (exhibitors have access from 8:00), then conversations, demonstrations and interviews. Thursday is quieter and suits team and detail shots.
With gedatec, the plumbing, heating and roofing trades join belektro. The material from October 2026 shows your product to a wider trade audience than before. If you run a Werkstattstraße station, you also get genuine footage of apprentices using your products, useful for recruitment and social media.
In 2026 belektro becomes part of gedatec, Messe Berlin's new trade fair for building technology. Electrical, plumbing and heating, and roofing trades share six halls, which widens both the audience and the subjects at your stand.
Visitors are admitted from 9:00 to 17:00 on all three days, while exhibitors have access from 8:00 to 18:00. Use the hour before doors open for stand and product shots without crowds, and the hour after closing for calm team portraits.
gedatec occupies halls 1.2 to 6.2 plus the Marshall-Haus. The open forums sit in hall 2.2 (de-Innovationsforum), 4.2 (ep-Forum), 3.2 (SHK-Forum) and 5.2a (Dach-Forum). If your team is presenting, allow time to move between stand and forum.
On the Werkstattstraße, apprentices and young professionals complete tasks at exhibitor stations and collect stamps towards a certificate. Running a station gives you genuine footage of young tradespeople using your products, useful for recruitment and social media.
Tickets are sold online only, with no box office on site. Parking is limited because of parallel events, and the organiser recommends the S-Bahn to Messe Süd. Sort out travel and badges for your photo and video crew in good time.
