Watch out for untrustworthy exhibitor directory offers

We are currently observing that more and more letters are being sent to our exhibitors from publishers of unofficial exhibitor directories offering entries in these sub-standard online directories. However, the letters hide long-term payment obligations in the small print. Don't be irritated by this and do not reply to these letters.

Our official partner for all types of directories and related marketing products is NEUREUTER FAIR MEDIA.

Further information on this and what you should do if you receive such a registration offer can be found on the AUMA website (Ausstellungs- und Messe-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft e. V.).

Exhibitors watch out! Scammers offer visitor lists

We are currently observing that more and more emails are being sent to our exhibitors from fake accounts offering to buy visitor lists for the trade fairs we organize. Some of the emails use our protected trademarks. Do not be irritated by this and do not reply to these emails.

We do not offer visitor lists for sale and do not send any such emails. If you receive such an email, please forward it to us. We will send a warning letter to the sender.

Review: HAMBURG OPEN 2024

Thank you for a successful HAMBURG OPEN 2024!

Impressions

"The HAMBURG OPEN is the German AV, broadcast and media technology meeting place where creativity and technology can be ideally combined and where the family character plays a major role. Once again, it is very clear that the HAMBURG OPEN has developed into the pre-eminent annual kick-off and family get-together in Germany."

Maximilian Below
Studio Hamburg MCI

"The HAMBURG OPEN is always a great event, and we have been involved for many years. The timing is ideal, especially because many visitors are not yet involved in productions in January. All the relevant manufacturers on the market are represented here and you can get comprehensive information within a short time. I'm already looking forward to next year – we will definitely be there again."

Dirk Fobker
Canon

"The HAMBURG OPEN is all about broadcasting and, as one of the major broadcast lens manufacturers, we are ideally placed in this context. You could say that the HAMBURG OPEN has developed into a real success story."

Christoph Theussen
FUJIFILM Electronic Imaging Europe

"The HAMBURG OPEN is a family reunion in a positive sense, where not only other manufacturers are represented, but also many customers that you don't meet at any other broadcast event. The great thing about the HAMBURG OPEN is the stage programme, which changes every year - depending on the current topics."

Claus Pfeifer
Sony Europe

"The HAMBURG OPEN is a unique event for us because we can cover many aspects at once. We can meet with partners, showcase our products from the LED product portfolio and present ourselves as an employer."

Florian Renken

"This is our third time at the HAMBURG OPEN and we look forward to returning every year. The forum and the overall package are very attractive for us. Broadcast and media technology are united here in one location and I think we will be back again next year."

Atlona Incorporated

"Like every year, it is always a highlight to be at the HAMBURG OPEN and I am already looking forward to next year. It's great to see that this event is growing and becoming more and more popular. The most important manufacturers are here and it is possible to experience the whole event in a compact format and to be well positioned for the future through intensive dialogue."

Klaus Bruns
Imagine Communications

"HAMBURG OPEN started out as a small regional trade fair and I am delighted with how it has developed. The HAMBURG OPEN is now a big family get-together for the industry, where people are always talking, exchanging ideas and networking. It's wonderful to see what has developed from this. Something that started out small and has now become really big."

Gustav Schwaupa
LIGHTEQUIP

"For us, the HAMBURG OPEN particularly stands out through its networking character and relaxed atmosphere. Not only is it the perfect environment, but as the annual kick-off event it is also the ideal time to meet customers and talk casually about new projects."
