展会报告(Show Reports):
The 11th EXPonATEC COLOGNE from 16 to 18 November 2023 in Cologne was an indispensable meeting point for the museum and restoration industries. This was the unanimous opinion of exhibitors, organisers and technical partners at the conclusion of the fair. For the around 80 providers from the fields of exhibition design and technology, media, digitality, knowledge transfer and public relations, the three trade fair days meant intensive trade discussions with a high-quality public from cultural operations, research, monument preservation and culture management. "The great need for dialogue of the industry concentrated at this trade fair during these days", according to Oliver Frese, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse. "The high quality of the trade visitors confirms the relevance of this trade fair, as does the concentrated offering of exhibitors. The trust placed in EXPonATEC COLOGNE by the industry paid off.“ A total of around 2,700 trade visitors from 20 countries came to Cologne for the fair, around twelve percent of them from abroad.
As a combination of trade fair and congress, EXPonATEC COLOGNE provides exhibitors and visitors valuable impulses for their work. In four exhibition areas, institutions and companies from all relevant segments of the culture market present new products, solutions and concepts revolving around exhibiting, restoration and cultural heritage.
The decision to not carry out the trade fair in 2023 was made against the background of difficult economic basic conditions and too little potential, especially in the segment of museums and cultural institutions. The overall situation is currently causing uncertainty in the exhibition and restoration fields with regard to investments and innovations.
EXPonATEC COLOGNE was planned for 16 to 18.11.2023 in Cologne. The suspension of the trade fair this year enables a new positioning and conceptualisation of this event.
The facilities of Koelnmesse of course remain at the disposal of institutional partners who have already planned congresses and symposia for November.
EXPonATEC COLOGNE is a trade event that combines an exhibition, advanced training, and a technical event programme. It has taken place every two years in Cologne since 2004, most recently in 2021, when it provided 80 committed exhibitors a stage despite the uncertainties of a global pandemic.
