All-inclusive stand
What is the advantage of an all-inclusive stand?
The Project Team of Build IT Berlin offers its exhibitors standardised stand packages for stand sizes of 9 m², 12 m², 15 m² and 20 m² – but also other sizes are available upon request! All-inclusive stands are set up by Capital Services GmbH.
Besides the stand rent, the price includes assembly, power supply, furniture and daily stand cleaning. This makes the trade fair preparation much easier for the exhibitors since they do no longer have to book the individual elements or look for a suitable stand constructor. What is more, they can take advantage of the price reductions which Capital Services GmbH grants Messe Berlin.
Build IT FairMagazine
How do I get the Build IT FairMagazine?
The Build IT FairMagazine was handed out free of charge during Build IT Berlin 2008. Please contact the Build IT Berlin Team to get one.
How do I obtain an entry in the Build IT FairMagazine?
For exhibitors the entry in the official printed Build IT FairMagazine is already included in the Media Package. Exhibitors and co-exhibitors at Build IT Berlin registered in time are automatically in. .
Catalogue
I have received an offer for a fee-based listing to be published in alternative media. What is that?
Some exhibitors occasionally receive offers for fee-based entries in alternative, non-official media commonly referred to as reference guides, industry directories, independent trade fair publications etc. Messe Berlin does not endorse the offers made by these publications and is not associated with these publishers in any way. The Build IT FairMagazine is the only official medium of Build IT Berlin. Your contact partner is the ProjectTeam.
If you have had any negative experience with fee-based entries in non-official publications, we advise you to contact AUMA (Ausstellungs- und Messeausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft e.V.), the German Exhibition and Trade Fair Committee (Email: info@auma.de).
Catering
How do I order catering services for the stand?
Please use the appropriate order form in the exhibitor service manual. Further information is available from: www.capital-catering.de.
Build IT Berlin offers a special service to their exhibitors: the Gastro-Ticket. As exhibitor of Build IT Berlin you can order these tickets in advance at a reduced price and use them at BauPlaza in Hall 8.2. The ProjectTeam will be pleased to give you more information and soon this information will also be available for download.
Construction Height
The maximum permitted height of any structure, including the upper edge of suspensions and fascias is + 6.00 m for a stand in all halls used by Build IT Berlin 2010.
Any part of a stand above +2.50 m, directly bordering an adjacent stand, must have a neutral, smooth white finish, without any advertising.

Exhibitor information
Where can I obtain information about stand construction, organization, etc.?
Exhibitors will get information about stand construction, services etc. by mail by September. This information can then also be found at Exhibitor-Service > Order Forms as well as in the Download Centre. The ProjectTeam will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Exhibitor passes
How many exhibitor passes can I obtain?
The number of passes which are sent to every exhibitor depends on the size of the booked stand area. You will get 3 free exhibitor passes for a stand area of up to 19 m². The exhibitors get an additional pass for every additional 10 m². More passes can be ordered for a fee using the respective form of the Exhibitor Service Documents (A1).
What are the assembly and disassembly passes for and how many am I entitled to?
Each person who is on the fair grounds of Messe Berlin must be able to identify him or herself to our security staff at their request. Assembly and disassembly passes are exclusively intended for use during the assembly and disassembly stage and do not entitle the holder to enter during the actual trade fair period. Each exhibitor is automatically sent the same number of assembly and disassembly passes by mail as the number of free exhibitor passes (which are to be passed on to all persons who will be on site during assembly and disassembly). More passes can be ordered free of charge using the respective form of the Service Documents (A2).

Messe Berlin offers this service for a fee – it can be ordered with the respective Order Forms (D1.1, D1.2).
Stand staff
Do the staff working at our stand need exhibitor badges?
All stand staff require exhibitor badges. The exhibitor badge is a permanent ID and allows entry to Build IT Berlin at 08:00 a.m. before the trade show starts. Such access is not possible with trade visitor badges and day tickets. The exhibitor pass is non-transferable.
You are entitled to a specific number of exhibitor passes in relation to the stand area rented. You can order more exhibitor passes at an additional charge. Passes and order forms will be sent to you by mail with your exhibitor service manual. The respective order form can be found in the exhibitor serve documents which will be sent to you in September and which will be available for download at "Exhibitor-Service".

These vouchers are charged at a special price, chargeable to the ordering company after the end of the trade fair. The exhibitor only pays for those vouchers which have actually been redeemed.
Traffic guide
Why do I have to pay a deposit?
The deposit regulation of Messe Berlin has been introduced to make sure that the areas directly in front of the halls are not misused as parking lots during assembly and disassembly and to ensure that there is a certain fluctuation at the hall gates, giving all exhibitors the opportunity to unload their exhibits without having to cover long distances. For further details please refer to the Traffic Guide.
Please also advise your stand construction companies and carriers of the deposit regulation. When entering the fair grounds you have to deposit € 50 at the gate which are refunded if you leave the premises in due time. Please contact the ProjectTeam at the Trade Fair office early enough if you have any problems with leaving the premises in due time and/or if you need any information about parking space outside the fair grounds.
Do I need parking permits?
The assembly and disassembly passes are intended for delivery during assembly and disassembly. There is no parking space available during this time and the deposit regulation applies.
Parking permits can be ordered for the trade fair period using the respective form of the Service Documents (A3 for passenger cars, A4 for trucks und containers). This guarantees you a parking space on the fair grounds close to the hall. Alternatively, there are a limited number of partly free public parking spaces available in the surroundings of the trade fair. However, it is not possible to book any fixed parking spaces there. So there may be longer distances.
Which special traffic rules must I observe on the exhibition grounds?
During the stand construction and removal times and throughout the entire exhibition, there are special rules for suppliers and exhibitors. Information about these rules will be available from January in the Traffic Guide.
Travel
How do I get to the exhibition grounds?
The best way to get to the exhibition grounds is by public transport. Detailed information can be found at Travel Info > How to get to Build IT Berlin.
Which address do I have to enter into my GPS to get to the right place?

Visa
How do I know whether I need a Visa?
The Federal Foreign Office provides a list with visa requirements for different countries. You can also get in touch with the foreign representatives of Messe Berlin in your country for information on visa requirements.
I need a visa. What do I have to do?
Messe Berlin foreign representatives will be glad to help you obtain a visa. You can also consult the German Embassy in your country.
Waste disposal
How is waste disposal organised?
A container for the disposal of your paper waste will be available outside the hall where you can leave small amounts of waste paper free of charge.
For a fee you can order the collection of other waste created at your stand during the assembly and disassembly as well as during the trade fair period through the company Capital Services using the forms B5 to B7 in the Exhibitor Service Documents.
Waste bags are collected at the end of a trade fair day only if they have been ordered in advance with the forms B6 and B7. The exhibitor has to put these labelled waste bags in front of the stand at the end of a trade fair day; they will be removed from the exhibition spaces during the night cleaning.
If it is foreseeable for you that you will need an interim collection in the course of the day due to a high waste volume, please contact the Trade Fair Management or ask for an individual offer by Capital Services in advance.
If you have any further questions about this issue please contact the Technical Service for Waste Collection (Capital Facility Mr. Schütt) at the phone number +49 (0)30 / 3038 1330 or the service provider ALBA at the phone number +49 (0)30 / 3038-1333 (ALBA).
