With the rules regarding traffic and access for constructing and dismantling stands we want to help you and your stand construction companies to have as trouble-free a time on the Koelnmesse grounds as possible.
In order to optimize the entire trade fair logistics, from now on access to the Koelnmesse exhibition center during set-up and dismantling is only possible with a booked time slot - eSlot. In conjunction with the routing app NUNAV, each vehicle is automatically guided to the optimal individual route and is given the fastest route directly to the desired loading or unloading position on the exhibition grounds, eliminating the need for a stopover at the logistics building.
