VdS-FireSafety Cologne 2023: Trade fair spaces can now be booked

Starting signal for the planning of the VdS-FireSafety Cologne on December 6 and 7, 2023: Exhibitors from the fields of fire protection and safety can now secure one of the exhibition spaces at koelnmesse and benefit from the multifaceted program of the major in-dustry get-together. The attractive mix of international trade fair, first-class conferences, thematic forums and a new edition of the VdS-FireSafetyTalk (VdS-BrandSchutzTalk) on the trade fair stage is ex-pected to attract more than 4,000 interested trade visitors again.

International focus

As in every second year, VdS-FireSafety Cologne will have an international focus. Among other things, the renowned expert confer-ence “Fire Extinguishing Systems” will offer an international pro-gram and simultaneous German-English translation over two days.

Best environment for exhibitors

With its versatile program, the VdS-FireSafety Cologne has been one of the most important industry events for fire protection systems and preventive structural and organizational fire protection for years. It offers companies optimal opportunities to present their products and services to a high-caliber expert audience.

High visibility, attractive conditions

A 9 m² row stand with complete exhibition booth, energy cost contri-bution, two exhibitor badges incl. catering as well as Meet & Greet can be booked starting as low as 2,452.50 EUR plus 100 EUR service/marketing flat rate (all prices net).

In addition, all exhibitors are invited to conduct live demonstrations. Interesting demonstrations can be included as stops on the guided tours of the trade show. The exhibitor forum in the exhibition hall also offers an attractive platform for presenting product, technology and service innovations.

Further advantages are the free exhibition tickets for customers and the perfect networking opportunities with national and international participants.

Larger exhibition hall in 2023

Thanks to its growing success, VdS-FireSafety Cologne 2023 will move to koelnmesse's larger exhibition hall 10.1, which is located directly opposite the hall 11.1 used to date. Advantages: Hall 10.1 is larger than the previous one, so it offers more space for stand areas and live demonstrations. Good news for all those who were unable to get a stand in the fully booked hall in December 2022.

In addition, it enables covered delivery and thus facilitates set-up. The hall ceiling is higher, creating additional creative possibilities for stand planning.

The congress halls with the expert conferences taking place at the same time are still right next door. This means that visitors to the conferences will still have short distances to cover.

International trade fair

 

At the only European trade fair with specific specialist conferences, the complete topic of preventive system, structural and organisational fire protection is presented. The fire protection industry uses the annual meeting to present its products and services.

Future Forum Fire Protection

 

What is currently changing in fire protection and which technologies are likely to play a role in the future? The "Future Forum Fire Protection" explores these questions. Here, expert speakers will provide insights into particularly innovative industry developments on both mornings. All trade fair visitors are invited to listen to the presentations of their choice, ask questions and discuss with the speakers.

Meeting place education and career

 

The meeting place education and career brings together providers of education and training and the high-calibre professional audience of the VdS-FireSafety Cologne. There are numerous opportunities for training providers and interested visitors to get in touch with each other.

VdS-FireSafetyTalk

Conferences

 

The individual VdS specialist conferences are each intensively dedicated to one topic, so that a unique transfer of knowledge, focused on the desired type of system or structural fire protection, is ensured. The advanced training seminar for fire protection officers is specifically geared to the needs of fire protection officers.

Exhibitor Forum

 

Also freely accessible to all trade fair visitors is the exhibitor forum. Exhibitors present their products and solutions in 15- to 20-minute presentations. This opportunity is often used to present innovations to the general public for the first time.

Feedback on the VdS-FireSafety Cologne

René Schwertfeger

T & B electronic GmbH

„Die Organisation der VdS-BrandSchutzTage ist richtig gut und professionell – auch schon im Vorfeld, beim Messeaufbau. Besonders wichtig ist für uns die Qualität der Besucher: Durch die parallel zur Messe stattfindenden Fachtagungen sind hier die wirklich interessierten Zielgruppen vertreten, zum Beispiel BSB, Versicherungsmitarbeiter, Sachverständige und Gutachter. Und die Zahl der Besucher ist über die Jahre deutlich gestiegen, das freut uns natürlich auch. Es geht uns bei unserem Messeauftritt nicht so sehr um direkte Verkäufe, vielmehr erreichen wir damit einen sehr hohen Bekanntheitsgrad, und das ist sehr wertvoll.“

„Wir waren von Anfang an bei den VdS-BrandSchutzTagen vertreten, weil wir hier gute Resonanz erhalten und auf ein echtes Fachpublikum treffen.“
