You must send us a complete online application form. Unfortunately, we cannot accept registrations by telephone. Your application is not yet binding.

Once we have received your application, we will send you a stand proposal (after stand allocation begins). Your application becomes binding when you sign, and in doing so, accept that stand proposal.

All co-exhibitors must be registered with the f.re.e Exhibition Management Team. The registration fee is EUR 190.

Additional information is available under Application form for co-exhibitors .

The design of your stand should be adapted to suit the type of stand that you have booked (island, end, corner or row stand). You must cover the floor of your stand space with carpeting or another type of flooring. Please consider the regulations in our general terms of participation .

There is no closing date for registrations, in order to be able to plan we always need your registration as early as possible.

For f.re.e 2023 the placement proposals will be sent out probably at the beginning of July 2022 at the earliest.

You may indicate your location preference on your application, and we will do our best to meet your request. However, please keep in mind that, for organizational reasons, we cannot meet everyone's request. In any case, we recommend that you register as early as possible. Doing so increases your chances of getting an optimum location.

IMPORTANT: Expensive catalog in the Expo Guide
The Mexican-based company “Commercial Online Manuals S de RL de CV” continues to contact f.re.e exhibitors in an effort to sell them an entry in the online exhibitor directory. The fine print on the offer form contains a clause that requires exhibitors who sign the form to pay an annual fee of EUR 1,181 to the company for a period of three years.

Please be advised that this company is not a partner of f.re.e and/or Messe München GmbH, and that an entry in our fair-related media has nothing to do with the Expo Guide.

All exhibitors that have registered for and are admitted to f.re.e may order advertising. Please find more information here .
