How to Participate in AIRTEC 2025 as an Exhibitor

• Register through the official website and obtain exhibitor confirmation.
• Choose the booth type: standard or custom, determine the area, design, and technical requirements (power supply, lighting, etc.).
• Plan logistics for equipment delivery and setup before the exhibition and dismantling afterward. Be mindful of transport and safety restrictions at the Messe Augsburg venue.
• For companies aiming to stand out: collaborate with a professional booth builder — for example, ESBAU offers custom booth construction tailored to your brand’s design, technical standards, and deadlines. This approach will create an exhibition booth that truly attracts attention and maximizes benefits.
