Wira team at ICE Barcelona: an example of stand support.

Hostesses for trade fairs and congresses in Hanover

Hanover runs on a scale few venues match: almost 400,000 square metres under cover. Your stand can end up a long way from the gate your guest arrives at. Tell us which hall you are in and we will build the proposal.

Wira team at ICE Barcelona: an example of stand support.

The service

At this scale, distance is the problem

The Hanover exhibition grounds state 24 halls and exhibition spaces, 392,453 square metres of covered indoor space and 58,000 square metres of open-air space. It is an industrial-scale venue, built for machinery and technology fairs.

At that size a guest will not find your stand on their own. What makes the difference is someone waiting at the right gate and walking them over. Tell us which entrance your visitors use and which hall you are in.

Visitors are received in German and English. If you expect a Spanish-speaking delegation, tell us along with the hall and the gate and we assign it to whoever receives.

The venue

What is worth planning for at the Hanover grounds.

01

Twenty four halls

The grounds state 24 halls and exhibition spaces and 392,453 square metres of covered indoor space.

02

Open-air area

There are 58,000 square metres outdoors. If your stand is there, reception happens standing and from an agreed meeting point.

03

The distances

Two halls can be a long walk apart. Escorting a guest stops being a courtesy and becomes the job.

04

The right gate

With several entrances, giving a guest only a stand number is not enough. Fix the gate and the meeting point.

Roles

What you can ask for in Hanover.

01

Reception at the gate

Someone waits at the agreed entrance, identifies the guest and walks them to the stand.

02

Stand hostesses

Welcome at the edge of your space, with a visitor record and a word to the right salesperson.

03

German and English hosts

The usual pairing in Hanover, with Spanish when your team asks for it.

04

Support during demonstrations

If a machine is running, someone picks the visitor back up when it ends and hands them to the salesperson.

05

Accreditation in the room

Passes checked and attendees registered in whichever room you have booked inside the grounds.

06

Bar staff

Coffee during fair hours and drinks poured if you end the day with guests on the stand.

FAQ

Before you brief us.

?

What is the Hanover venue like?

It states 24 halls and exhibition spaces, 392,453 square metres of covered indoor space and 58,000 square metres of open-air space.

?

Do we need someone waiting at the entrance?

In Hanover it usually pays off. Given the distances, a guest arriving alone takes a while to find the stand. Tell us which gate they use and we will cover it.

?

Which languages are needed?

German and English. Spanish goes to the position that needs it once you tell us the hall.

?

Can you cover a stand on the open-air ground?

Yes. There are 58,000 square metres outdoors and the position differs from hall work: a meeting point, escorting and support during the demonstration.
