Show dates clash for 2012 avoided
Automechanika Frankfurt, often seen as the world's leading trade fair
for the automotive industry, will be held in Frankfurt am Main, on
September 11-16, 2012, one week earlier than had been announced, so as
not to conflict with the 64th IAA Commercial vehicles show.
The IAA is an important trade fair for mobility, transport and
logistics, and is organised by the German Association of the Automotive
Industry (Verband der Automobilindustrie – VDA). It will be held in
Hanover from September 20-27, 2012.
“By taking this step, we relieve not only the pressure on the fair and
exhibition calendar for September 2012, but also comply with a request
of the automobile industry”, explains Detlef Braun, Member of the Board
of Management of Messe Frankfurt. “Thus, our customers will be able to
take part in Automechanika Frankfurt and use the IAA Commercial Vehicles
Show in Hanover to make presentations and expand their business
relationships.”
An overlap between two such important events for the same sector would
be of significant harm to both the industry and the German fair and
exhibition business. “Therefore, we considered it our duty as organisers
of the Automechanika to take the necessary steps. “This means that
visitors interested in the Automechanika and the IAA Commercial Vehicles
Show will be able to attend both events. Our member companies welcome
this solution too.” The change of dates is very much in the interests
of workshop-equipment suppliers, who will now be able to exhibit at both
events without difficulty.”
