Stand service at Hamburg Messe

Hamburg has its exhibition grounds in the middle of the city. Eleven halls, A1 to A4 and B1 to B7, around 87,000 square metres under roof plus a good 10,000 outdoors. Dammtor station is a short walk away and the underground stop is called Messehallen. Visitors therefore arrive on foot and spread across the day rather than in coach loads – the stand has to be covered throughout.

What we provide – and what we do not

We provide support staff, not product specialists. You brief our people, and they then work to your instructions: welcome, catering, brochures, order at the stand. At technical shows such as WindEnergy Hamburg that means a clear split – your own team handles the technical conversations, we handle everything around them.

On request we deliberately assign staff who speak English. The Hamburg audience is international, and a friendly word in the right language at the front of the stand does more than another brochure.

You get one named contact who plans the shifts. All staff are employed, registered and insured by us. If your evening event is next door at the CCH, we staff that too.

Frequently asked questions

How many service staff does a stand in Hamburg need?

Two people per ten square metres if you serve food or drinks, otherwise one per consultation desk. At WindEnergy Hamburg and the Hydrogen Technology Expo the audience is technical – you handle the consulting, we keep the welcome and the catering covered.

How late can we book?

A team is usually in place within 48 hours. Around WindEnergy Hamburg in late September the experienced staff are booked out early, because InnoTrans runs in Berlin at the same time.

Do your staff speak English?

On request, yes. The Hamburg flagship shows draw an international audience, so we assign staff with English.

Do you also staff events at the CCH?

Yes. The congress centre is right next to the exhibition grounds. Evening events there are covered by the same team or by a second shift.

Are the staff employed by you?

Yes. Everyone is employed, insured and instructed by us. You receive an invoice from us.

Request staff

Date, headcount and task are enough. You get an answer the same working day, usually within a few hours.

Your contacts in sales

You do not get a ticket number. You get two people who know your booking and pick up the phone themselves if something comes up.
