Why is it relevant?
You can be present at this flagship event - on site and digitally!
gat|wat will take place as a hybrid event in 2021. With a variety of digital solutions, we will bring our participants, exhibitors and
sponsors together not only on site, but also virtually. For you this means: even more opportunities to reach your target group,
on site and digitally.

Choose between stand only space for your individual stand construction or a complete offer including stand construction by our
stand builder for your trade fair presence in Cologne. You also have the possibility to present your company and your products
or services via our professional B2B platform.

Our comprehensive hygiene concept ensures that our participants can move around the entire event site safely.

We will take care of safety, so you can take care of your customers:
• Visitor flow control: We keep an eye on who is where and when
• Increased air exchange: You can breathe easy here
• Hygiene concept: No chance for viruses
• A space to meet: Sufficient distance provided

COVID-19 safety measures
The measures taken by Koelnmesse as well as recommendations and specifications for stand construction can be found on
