The cost of participation in the fair depends on the size of the stand and the equipment rented. Exhibitors have the option of either renting an empty space or a base stand. An empty space means just the bare ground of the exhibition hall. Please note that this includes no walls, no carpet, furniture etc. This option is for exhibitors who have their own stand. The base stand has walls, a roof construction as well as a headboard including lettering and is suitable for exhibitors who do not have their own stand. With both stand options, the exhibitor has the option of ordering additional equipment or furniture such as carpets, electricity etc. Please request our booking forms for more information.
The address entry in both the printed exhibitor index as well as at Einstieg Online (incl. a link to the exhibitors website) is included in the registration price.
So that exhibitors have a flexible choice in the stand format and size, Einstieg has no standard stand plan for each fair. Exhibitors may choose a stand in one of the following areas: "General" (general information institutions and associations), "Companies" (companies who offer vocational training), "Third Level Institutions" (public and private German institutions), "Schools" (educational institutions) and "International" (international third level institutions, language schools and language travel organisers). After registration deadline, the hall plan is thematically laid out according to category. To ease the orientation of the visitors, the different parts of the hall are marked with different colours.
A base stand consists of the following equipment: back and side walls (in a choice of white, red, blue or beech), a ceiling and a headboard including 20 characters (in a choice of blue, red or black). Exhibitors have the option to order additional items such as carpet, electricity etc. Base stands are available in the sizes 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 and 30 m2 - other sizes available on request. The height of the stand including the headboard is 2.5 m. The headboard is 0.30 m high.
After successful completion of registration, the exhibitors receive personal access rights for the online exhibitor service. In this secure online area, exhibitors may enter their placements and classifications as well as their contact details. These details make up the base of what is published in the online exhibitor indices. The exhibitor may enter internships and vocational course placements, so that these may be published in the vocational training market at the fair information. Also available to download is: the service folder. This consists of all information to participating in the fair such as order forms for further services (e.g. internet connection, parking permits and security).
At a fair like Einstieg Cologne with more than 300 exhibitors, it is especially important to ease the visitors’ orientation, so that questions and offers are complemented. In order to ease the visitors orientation, it is important that exhibitors, 1. chose the right category ("General", "Companies"…) as well as 2. exactly classify their offer with the help of the online exhibitor service. In this way, the exhibitors contribute to the success of such a big fair.
Additional services, like e.g. an internet connection or park permit can be booked with the corresponding booking form in the service folder.

In every hall there is general hall security, which does not however include security at the individual stands. For this reason Einstieg recommends that exhibitors book security for valuables. In the case of theft, no responsibility will be taken. The corresponding booking form can be found in the service folder, which may be downloaded online from the online exhibitor service.
Exhibitors should insure items brought to the fair by exhibitors. Einstieg takes no responsible.
Exhibitors may only distribute flyers within their stand. For the distribution of advertising materials, there is the option to book a sample packet using the service folder.
The Einstieg Team is available during the set up and the duration of the event in person and per telephone at the exhibitors counter. You may call Einstieg on location at +49 (0)162-2879000.
The programme at the fair has many functions: it offers exhibitors the option of reaching more visitors than at their stand through presentations, a film or a lecture. This is possible for all exhibitors – a presentation lasting 20 minutes costs Euro 420. Booking forms are available in the service folder, which is available to download in the online exhibitor service. In addition to this, public institutions or associations often take part in the programme gratis upon the invitation of the organisers. This serves the purpose of addressing themes not covered by exhibitors or current themes in lectures and talk and acquainting pupils with them. The mix of exhibitor’s presentations and general lectures makes the accompanying programme an important element of the fair.
Exhibitors may book accommodation with the corresponding form in the service folder.
Each Fair is thoroughly documented. The results of the exhibitor and visitor surveys as well as the press review six weeks after the fair are available to download gratis here.
Generally: no. During the last few years however certain specialities have developed in certain locations. The largest fairs take place in Cologne, Hamburg and Berlin - with over 330 exhibitors. Karlsruhe always provides exhibitors with committed and motivated visitors. Due to the fact that the fair in Munich grew steadily we moved into a larger fair location near the city center in 2010. Last but not least in 2010 two new fair sites have been established: Frankfurt and Dortmund, which had a pretty successful premier.
