The every-year growing Trade Fair is one of the top-3 assets of the WOMEX participation and the nerve centre of our annual event. WOMEX 08 saw two sold out halls with 320 stands and 650 exhibiting companies (presenting an increase of 20%), including numerous umbrella stands of countries, regions, networks and other joint-venture structures. Our pre-built stands are 3 x 2 m2 and include shell schemes, lights, electricity, 4 chairs and 1 table (choice of 2 sizes). Please find the exhibitor manual here.
