INTERBOOT 2019 | Exhibitor Documents

21 – 29 SEPT. 2019 MESSE FRIEDRICHSHAFEN 58TH INTERNATIONAL WATER SPORTS EXHIBITION

YOUR EXHIBITOR DOCUMENTS

WELCOME TO INTERBOOT 2019 This is precisely what you can expect from us at INTERBOOT 2019. And, of course, you will also ­discover the benefits of our unbeat­able catchment area. I’m already looking forward to welcoming you personally in Friedrichs­ hafen as an exhibitor.

Trade fairs can be impersonal, stressful and bad-tempered affairs. But there is another way!

Ours is a different version – and one to which we are fully committed. Because we have known many of our exhibitors for years, we tend to regard them more as partners than customers. We see our role as a “carer” and service provider with the goal of preparing the perfect marketplace.

Best wishes

WELCOME TO LAKE CONSTANCE Besides being one of the most beautiful regions in Europe, Lake Constance is also a water sports paradise.

“Working where others spend their holidays” – this is a common advertising slogan among our resident industries – it is also a unique nine-day experience that awaits you at INTERBOOT 2019!

As an exhibitor, you benefit from this as well as from other advantages of this unique region: the ­finest gastronomy, unmatched natural scenery and a tourist infrastructure that leaves nothing to be desired.

1,700 hours of sunshine per year

60,000 registered boats on Lake Constance

536 km2

of open water with plenty of space for events

13 million overnight stays in the Lake Constance region per year

THE PERFECT SETTING Lake Constance is one of the most popular sports and leisure regions in Europe. Its infrastructure is correspondingly strong: wellness retreats, sports clubs, gourmet delights, quaint pubs and historic old towns are all supported by countless hotels and diverse types of accommodation. There are around 13 million overnight stays in this region every year. That speaks for itself!

WHERE PURCHASING POWER MEETS PASSION

INFORMATION

INTERACTIVE AND INNOVATIVE

WE CREATE A PERSONAL ­CONNECTION TO WATER SPORTS A trademark of INTERBOOT is our interactive and innovative supporting programme. On Lake C ­ onstance, visitors can actively experience water sports for the first time and be inspired by a wide range of fascinating experiences. From stand-up paddling in the hall to kite surfing on the lake and even a taster sailing trip on Lake Constance – we are constantly introducing new target groups to the amazing world of water sports.

And for active captains, the various stages and ­workshops at INTERBOOT provide a wealth of practical information.

THE COMMUNITY INTERBOOT is the perfect meeting place for water sports enthusiasts.

You can talk shop with friends, enjoy a sundowner drink at the INTERBOOT harbour and experience nautical ­highlights with others.

For exhibitors, Lake Constance offers the perfect setting for exchanging ideas outside the fair by sharing a meal together in the evening. We also ­provide the perfect setting for this – for example, on the first Saturday of the fair we offer an evening cruise aboard the luxurious event ship Sonnenkönigin, with gala catering included.

WE OFFER COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES TO SUPPORT YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE TRADE FAIR. INTERBOOT gives you access to your market and the specific target groups for your products and ­services. The INTERBOOT project team supports you with comprehensive services to ensure your ­presentation at the fair will be a thoroughly relaxed and successful experience. Feel free to contact us.

Put us to the test! We will be delighted to discuss your needs in person and are receptive to your ideas.
