Unfortunately, our exhibitors and customers are also occasionally contacted by companies or organisations falsely claiming to work with us or even acting on our behalf.
These organisations usually obtain their information from publicly available sources. Our company has no business relationship or partnership with any of these companies or organisations.
We strongly advise against buying tickets via "Viagogo" and similar grey market portals on the internet.
These are sold by middlemen at highly inflated prices and are often not valid at the entrance!
Authorised tickets for our events are only available via Ticketcorner and at the box office on site.

Repeatedly, our customers are contacted by purported address list providers. They claim to have access to our attendee and visitor addresses ("Attendee List / Visitor List") and allegedly want to sell them. These companies do NOT have any access to our data! These emails are sent with fraudulent intent!

Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) - Scammers offer visitor lists
We warn against companies that publish so-called trade fair entries and mention our event names in their letters. In most cases, this will come at a high cost to you, usually hidden in the small print. None of these companies have any connection with us or the shows, events or exhibitions we organise.
If you attend one of our events, we will publish your details in the official catalogue or magazine and on our website. Experience has shown that these are the platforms through which interested visitors obtain information about exhibitors. The usefulness of general address lists is doubtful.
If you have been a victim of such companies, here are some tips on what to do:
