FAQs - Frequently asked questions
Cologne combines the broadest industry mix of any German fair city with strong consumer-facing reach. Koelnmesse hosts 80+ trade fairs annually — Anuga (world’s leading food and beverage fair), Gamescom (largest global gaming event with 320,000+ visitors), DMEXCO (digital marketing), IDS (international dental show), FIBO (fitness), IMM Cologne (furniture), Interzum, Kind + Jugend and ANGA COM. No other German city pairs B2B specialist depth with consumer-event scale at this level.
Anuga draws 170,000+ visitors from 200+ countries on a biennial rhythm — we recommend booking 8–10 weeks in advance to secure multilingual food-industry staff. For Gamescom, where high-energy promotion staff is essential, 6–8 weeks is the sweet spot. DMEXCO and IDS typically work with 6 weeks lead time. For smaller Cologne events or short-notice corporate work, eventas can usually deploy qualified staff within 24–48 hours.
Gamescom and FIBO call for high-energy, brand-confident staff comfortable with large crowds, gamified activations, photo-and-video moments and steady visitor flow throughout 8–10 hour shifts. eventas places promotion staff with experience in gaming, esports, fitness, lifestyle and creator-economy events — fully briefed on your brand voice, content rules and audience tone before the show floor opens.
Yes. With Cologne’s tight calendar of overlapping fairs, multi-event coverage is part of our standard planning. eventas places food-industry hostesses for Anuga, fitness-trained promoters for FIBO and dental-trained reception staff for IDS — each team briefed independently on industry vocabulary, visitor profile and brand goals. Coordination runs through one project lead per client across all parallel events.
Yes. Beyond Koelnmesse assignments, eventas regularly places congress and event staff at Congress Center East and North, at premium hotels in Deutz, around the MediaPark and the Cathedral, and along the Rhine.
