Comprehensive registration process
All participants (visitors, exhibitors, service personnel and others) will be registered for the purposes of track and trace and will be notified in the event of a covid contact.
Control of visitor traffic flow
Strict crowd management will be employed at the entrances and in the halls to control the flow of visitors and to avoid undesired crowding at the venue.
No admission to anyone with symptoms
Attendees with obvious cold symptoms will not be admitted to the IAW.

Observance of 1.5 m distancing in aisles
The aisles and walkways will be generously spaced in order to ensure at least 1.5 m physical distancing.
Widened aisles
Where necessary, aisles and visitor traffic areas will be widened so that exhibitors and visitors can move around easily, thus ensuring adherence to physical distancing rules.
Observance of strict hygiene routine
A regular cleaning routine, in particular for shared areas and frequently touched surfaces, will be implemented.
Good ventilation
Modern ventilation systems will ensure a good exchange of fresh air in entrance areas, exhibition halls and conference areas.

The Covid restrictions for trade fairs and events in North Rhine-Westphalia were lifted in April 2022. However, Nordwestdeutsche Messegesellschaft strongly recommends that you only enter the trade fair grounds if you have been vaccinated against, have recently recovered from or have tested negative for Covid, and to wear a medical mouth nose protection voluntarily. We reserve the right to align our measures with the dynamics of the Covid situation and make changes if necessary. You are kindly requested to refer to the latest Covid instructions at our website to prepare your visit.
