As a source of information and inspiration for modern live communications, BOE INTERNATIONAL on 17 and 18 January 2024 is not only set to present innovations, highlights, tried-and-tested event technology and all kinds of event services – it will also address key trending topics in the event industry, this year focusing also on exhibition and stand construction using aesthetically impressive and largely environmentally friendly solutions under the banner of sustainability.

Dortmund, 18 December 2023 – On 17 and 18 January 2024, BOE INTERNATIONAL – the flagship experiential marketing show – will be starting the new year as usual by showing a comprehensive market overview covering all requirements in the event industry. One of the trending topics in the industry – and hence also at BOE 2024 – is the ecological and economic transformation that is posing (and will continue to pose) major challenges to everyone in the event sector. For the first time, BOE is organising a speciality zone entitled 'Sustainable Stand – Best Practice Area' putting visitors in the right frame of mind as part of the sustainability experience and taking them on an inspiring journey into the future of sustainability. The zone is intended to be a source of inspiration and to demonstrate, via its own stand concept, that sustainability doesn’t have to be expensive or aesthetically lacking. This will also include sustainable developments in exhibition and stand construction which, like all segments of the event industry, is committed to environmentally friendly design.

The unique stand concept was designed and implemented in conjunction with capable partners, with thought-provoking ideas coming from Holtmann Plus, the German National Event Industry Association (fwd:) and the International Federation of Exhibition & Event Services (IFES). The speciality zone is largely supported by product and service partners Octanorm, MossInc, Event Rent, FastLane, Malkus Veranstaltungstechnik, Lemonpie Eventcatering and Papstar.

Exhibition and stand constructors standing up for sustainability
