What kind of a virtual event?

The three most important days of the year will still offer manufacturing experts and professionals a place to both maintain pre-existing customer relationships and to create new ones. As such, networking has gained an especially crucial role at this virtual event. The virtual event won’t replace the traditional, real-life trade fair in the future, but it does allow for new opportunities for meetings in a situation where meeting face-to-face isn’t possible in a way that we are accustomed to. Additionally, the virtual implementation may bring additional value to the trade fair in the future.

Our goal is to create a participatory virtual event that fulfills its participants’ need to get into contact with the entire industry at once. Participating in the event will give you the chance to meet with a large group of people without having to run around to multiple places. The virtual event is free of charge for visitors.

Subcontracting will continue to connect people, even online!

How to take part?

Only companies that register for the virtual event can participate as exhibitors. Participating is free of charge for exhibitors who have had a stand at this year’s Subcontracting Trade Fair. The virtual event opens on Tuesday December 8th at 8 a.m. and closes on Thursday, December 10th at 12 midnight. We will send exhibitors an email with practical instructions during week 41. Following information is included:

  • Registration link and instructions
