FAQ's
Who is eligible to register as a trade visitor for Interzoo?
Authorized trade visitors include retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers of pet supplies, as well as veterinarians and grooming professionals. Representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, garden centers, and pet boarding facilities are also permitted to attend. Evidence of professional activity in the pet industry must be uploaded during the online ticket registration process for verification.
Can I purchase products directly from the exhibitors at the fair?
No, Interzoo is a pure trade fair intended for information exchange and ordering between manufacturers and distributors. The sale of exhibition samples or retail products directly to visitors is strictly prohibited throughout the duration of the event. Exhibitors are there to establish business relationships and take bulk orders rather than conduct individual consumer transactions.
Is my trade fair ticket valid for the local public transport system?
Generally, Interzoo tickets do not include free travel on the VGN public transport network unless specifically stated on a specialized pass. Visitors can easily purchase a VGN day ticket or use the "Mobi" app to travel efficiently between their hotel, the airport, and the venue. The subway line U1 serves the Messe station every few minutes, making it the most reliable way to reach the exhibition grounds.
Are children or pets allowed to enter the exhibition halls?
No, children under the age of 16 and pets of any kind are not permitted inside the exhibition halls for safety and professional reasons. This policy ensures that the business environment remains focused and prevents safety hazards in the crowded aisles. The only exception to this rule is for certified assistance dogs for visitors with disabilities, which must be registered in advance.
What services are available for international visitors requiring a visa?
NürnbergMesse offers a visa invitation letter service for registered visitors who have already purchased their entry ticket. The request can be made through the online ticket center after the registration and payment process has been completed. It is highly recommended to apply for your visa at least three months in advance, as processing times at German consulates can vary significantly.
