The application for IFAT Munich is non-binding until the placement proposal has been confirmed by you, i.e. cancellation of the application is possible until then without causing any costs.
Nevertheless, we do require your completed online application in advance in order to be able to properly manage your data for the placement.
An application is first non-binding and not linked to any costs. Cancellation fees will only be charged if you wish to return your stand space after your confirmation of the placement proposal.
Cancellation of stand space must always be sent in written form to application@ifat.de.
If Messe München GmbH is able to re-rent the stand space to a new exhibitor, the cancellation fees will amount to 25% of the participation fee plus the entry fee. If re-renting is not possible, 100% of the participation fee. The registration fee will not be charged. The exact rules of a contract cancellation can be found in the General Conditions of Participation A under A5.

The planning of the halls begins with the closing date for applications. The placement proposals will then be sent out from autumn 2023. The placement proposal will include your exact positioning in the specific hall or outdoor area.
With your registration you can request your preferred stand positions. During the planning phase, we will do our best to take into account the stand requests of all registered companies. However, please understand that we cannot fulfill all wishes.
You will receive the admission invoice after your placement proposal is confirmed in winter 2023. The payment deadline is January 31, 2024.
The admission invoice includes the following items:
The Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) charges all exhibitors a fee of EUR 0,60 per square meter of rented exhibition space. This contribution is calculated by Messe München GmbH and paid directly to AUMA.
Further information on advance payment for services:
The advance payment for services to be ordered refers to all services that you can order for the trade fair via Exhibitor Services online in the Exhibitor Shop. This includes, for example, electricity, water, compressed air, vouchers for customer invitations, etc. The amount will be invoiced per square meter. The services you actually order will be balanced against this advance payment amount when the final invoice is generated - either you will then only pay the difference or you will receive a refund.
Waste disposal fee: The obligatory waste disposal fee of EUR 6.50 per square meter covers the disposal of waste generated by the exhibitor on his stand during set-up and dismantling, as well as during the entire duration of the trade fair. The disposal of production waste, complete stand elements and complete exhibition stands is excluded from this.
Mandatory communication fee: All exhibitors will be charged a mandatory communication fee of EUR 495.00 for each of their stands. The obligatory communication fee includes the basic entry in the trade fair media as well as further communication services (digital or printed, see B 12 Media Services).
You are only authorized to participate in the trade fair after payment of your admission invoice.
