The venue

Messe München in facts

Messe München is in Riem in the east of the city, on the site of the former Munich-Riem airport. The U2 stops Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost are at the two ends of the grounds; from Munich Airport you arrive by S-Bahn and U-Bahn with a change, or by taxi over the A94 and A99.

The halls are arranged in rows, A1 to A6, B0 to B6 and C1 to C6, along a central Atrium. The ICM congress centre and the Conference Center Nord sit at the ends, and a large outdoor area serves transport logistic and IAA MOBILITY. The halls have skylights, so daylight changes through the day, which we watch in colour grading.

How we work at Messe München

We travel the evening before and are at your stand before opening. Because the Atrium is long, we agree hall, stand number and any second location in advance and plan per day: empty stand and team at opening, visitors and demos mid-morning, interviews at a quiet time.

Interviews are staged on your stand or in the Atrium, 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 Messe München

What does a trade fair photographer at Messe München 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 BAU, electronica and IAA MOBILITY, six weeks ahead is sensible, because Munich 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 Munich 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.

Our appearance is split between a hall and the outdoor area. Is that a problem?

No. We plan hall and outdoor slots into the same day and use the daylight for the outdoor part. Tell us both locations when you book.
