The venue

Hamburg Messe in facts

Hamburg Messe lies in the centre of the city between Dammtor station and St. Pauli, next to the Planten un Blomen park and the television tower. The U2 stop Messehallen is at the halls, Dammtor with its long-distance trains is a short walk, and Hamburg Airport connects by S-Bahn to the Hauptbahnhof.

The grounds consist of the A halls, A1 to A4, and the B halls, B1 to B7, two connected groups; the CCH Congress Center Hamburg stands next door at Dammtor. Hotels and restaurants are within walking distance, which keeps travel simple for foreign exhibitors. Hall light is artificial and even.

Calendar

The big shows at Hamburg Messe

INTERNORGA in March fills the whole site. Aircraft Interiors Expo in the B halls and WTCE in the A halls share a week in April, Nordstil comes in January, GET Nord in November 2026, Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe with Carbon Capture Technology Expo in October 2026.

OMR Festival in May 2027 and Seatrade Europe in September 2027 complete the calendar.

How we work at Hamburg Messe

We travel the evening before and are at your stand before opening. Plan per day: empty stand and team first, visitors, tastings or demos mid-morning, interviews at a quiet time. At INTERNORGA food and drink details take a large share; at Aircraft Interiors Expo seats and cabin mock-ups need careful light.

Interviews are staged on your stand or in the passages between the halls, with lavalier microphone and our own light. You may photograph and film your own stand; for other stands and recognisable visitors we ask for consent where required. Delivery within 24 hours after the show day. Travel from Essen is quoted once per trip and shared between exhibitors of the same show week.

FAQ

Questions exhibitors ask about Hamburg Messe

What does a trade fair photographer at Hamburg Messe cost?

Basic €990 for two hours, Professional €1,490 for four hours, Full Day €1,990 for eight hours, all plus VAT. Travel from Essen is quoted once per trip and shared between exhibitors of the same show week.

Do we have to pay German VAT?

Non-EU companies are invoiced without German VAT. EU companies with a VAT ID receive a reverse-charge invoice. German companies pay VAT at the standard rate.

How far ahead should we book?

For INTERNORGA and the Aircraft Interiors Expo week, four to six weeks ahead is sensible, also because Hamburg hotels fill early. Outside the peak weeks a few days are often enough.

Do we need a permit to photograph our own stand?

No. As exhibitor you may photograph and film your own stand; our crew enters on your exhibitor passes or a media pass we arrange. For other stands and recognisable visitors we ask for consent where required.

How is travel from Essen charged?

Travel to Hamburg and, where needed, an overnight stay are quoted once per trip and shared between exhibitors of the same show week, so the share per exhibitor is small.

When do we receive the photos and video?

Within 24 hours after the show day ends, first photos usually the same day, so you can post while the show is still running.

Do you also cover our talk at OMR or a stage slot?

Yes. Stage talks and presentations are part of the plan. Tell us the time and we place the stand shots and the interview slot around it.
