FAQ's
Can I attend electronica if I am not a professional in the industry?
No, electronica is a trade-only event and visitors must be able to prove their professional involvement in the electronics sector. This includes developers, engineers, industrial distributors, and representatives from the science and research communities. Students in relevant technical fields are also permitted to attend but must register with a valid university ID.
Does a trade fair ticket also provide access to the technical conferences?
Standard exhibition tickets usually only provide access to the fairgrounds and the open forums held within the halls. Major specialized conferences, such as the electronica Automotive Conference, require the purchase of a separate, additional ticket. It is recommended to check the specific ticket categories online to ensure you have access to the specific speaking sessions you want to attend.
Is there an official app to help navigate the 16+ exhibition halls?
Yes, the electronica app is available for download on iOS and Android and includes a full exhibitor list and interactive hall map. The app allows you to bookmark specific booths, view the event schedule, and use a networking tool to contact other attendees. Using the app is highly recommended as the venue is extremely large and it helps in planning the most efficient walking route.
What are the options for food and catering inside the Messe München?
The venue features numerous restaurants, bistros, and snack bars located in the "Atrium" areas between the halls and at the entrances. Options range from traditional Bavarian cuisine to international fast food, with many exhibitors also providing private catering at their booths. During peak lunch hours, these areas can become very crowded, so planning for an early or late lunch is often a good strategy.
Are there services for international visitors who need visa assistance?
Messe München provides a dedicated visa invitation letter service for registered exhibitors and visitors from countries requiring a visa for Germany. You can usually request this letter through the online ticket ordering system after your professional registration has been successfully verified. It is important to start this process several months in advance as embassy appointment wait times can be significant during major trade fairs.
