Unfortunately, it happens again and again that exhibitors receive misleading listing offers in order to be included in so-called trade fair and exhibitor directories. Well-known companies and online directories are art-living.info, Expo Guide, International Fairs Directory, Handwerk-Markt.com, Handcraft-market.com and Construct Data Publisher. Messe Dortmund GmbH expressly states that it has no connection whatsoever with “Expo Guide”, “art-living.info”, “FAIR GUIDE”, “International Fairs Directory”, “Handwerk-Markt.com” and “Handcraft-market.com”.

We expressly distance ourselves from the business practices of these companies. In most cases, these are unauthorized publishers who finance themselves through fee-based entries in various directories. However, they often give the impression that the offer is free of charge. It is only in the small print of the terms and conditions that the amount and duration of the payment obligation is revealed – which often comes as a nasty surprise.

You can make entries in the official media of our events via our Online Service Center (OSC). The access data for the OSC will be sent to you together with the stand confirmation by our trade fair teams on Messe Dortmund GmbH letterhead or by e-mail with the corresponding signature.

You can find more information on the AUMA website, Ausstellungs- und Messe-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft e.V., or by contacting Ms. Silvia Bauermeister by phone: 030/24000-103, e-mail: s.bauermeister@auma.de.
