What is the difference between a trade fair for the general public and one for trade visitors?

In contrast to public exhibitions, trade fairs are not open to the general public. Access is only granted on presentation of a trade visitor certificate. You can apply for this online by submitting a document that clarifies your industry affiliation as a pdf file to messe@westfalenhallen.de or by faxing a copy to +49 231 1204-678. The trade visitor criteria are determined by an advisory board, which defines who is eligible to attend and how they can properly register for the trade fair.
