Tips, Dates & Deadlines

All information about the prices for stand space can be found here.

You have the option of booking either pure stand space (without stand construction) or one of our combination packages (stand space incl. stand construction).

Application: to participate in automatica 2027 you can apply directly online. Based on your responses, we will decide whether your company can be admitted as an exhibitor.

To the online application

Procedure: the contact person responsible for organizing the trade fair must first log into the registration system.

If you do not yet have access data from the last event or if the contact person has changed, you must register again (Create Messe-München Account). After registration, the system will guide you step by step through the registration process, which is finally saved by clicking "Create" and sent to us by clicking "Send registration". An automatic confirmation e-mail with a pdf version of your registration will be sent to you after you have completed the online registration.You can also log in with your Messe München account at any time later. Under "Registration" you will find an overview of your sent registrations per stand area.

Please note: no subaccounts can be created for the registration account (Messe München Account).

Withdrawal from participation: registration for automatica 2027 is not legally binding, i.e. withdrawal of registration is possible free of charge until the placement proposal has been confirmed.

Registration deadline: there is no official registration deadline. However, you should take into account that an early registration favors the realization of your desired placement. Please also bear in mind that some services will no longer be bookable after May 2027 or only at an additional charge.

As an exhibitor, you can register co-exhibitors on your stand space. Please use the link you will receive as main exhibitor with your registration confirmation.

The registration fee per co-exhibitor will be charged to the main exhibitor. Like the main exhibitor, all co-exhibitors will be listed as independent exhibitors in the trade fair media and in the online exhibitor directory. They will also receive their own account for the automatica Exhibitor Shop as well as two free exhibitor passes.

1) Start of placement

Hall layout begins on June 30, 2026 and all exhibitors registered by that date will be considered in the first placement round.

Please note: there is currently no hall plan from which you can select a stand area. There is no fixed grid, as we start each event with empty halls and space planning is based on the total number of registrations received by June 30.

2) Sending placement proposal

Expected at the end of 2026 you will receive a placement proposal incl. hall plan (by email).

Please note: We always endeavor to accommodate the wishes of all exhibitors to the best of our ability. However, not all of them can be fulfilled. After receiving the placement proposal, you have the option of accepting it or receiving a new proposal (see point 3).

3) Feedback placement proposal

• You agree with your placement?
  Then please confirm your placement proposal within the set deadline.
  Please note: by confirming the placement proposal, the registration becomes legally valid. From this point on, cancellation fees will apply if you cancel your trade fair appearance.
• You do not agree with your placement?
  Please click the "Decline" button and describe your preferred placement request in as much detail as possible. We will do our best to provide you with a new placement proposal within the possibilities.

Please respond to your placement proposal within the specified deadline by either clicking the appropriate button to confirm or reject it.

1) Included Services

The following chargeable services are automatically included in the application:

• Communication fee: basic entry in our print and online media as well as further communication services.
• AUMA fee: the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA) charges all exhibitors a contribution of € 0.60 net per square meter of rented exhibition space. This contribution is calculated by the organizer and paid directly to AUMA.
• Fixed-rate waste disposal fee: basic waste disposal before, during and after the fair.
• Advance payment for services: fixed-rate advance payment for services such as electricity, water and telephone connections. The advance payment will be offset against the services actually used after the event.

The above items will be charged with the admission invoice.

2) Additional Services

Further services such as stand construction and related equipment details (e.g. partition walls, carpeting, electricity), technology as well as exhibitor passes and advertising materials can be booked via our Exhibitor Shop up to May 12, 2027.

Your entry in the Exhibitor Directory as well as in the automatica Visitor Guide is managed by the Neureuter Fair Media. This is our only partner in this area.

• Exhibitors will receive the proof of the online catalogue from the publisher. Please check the material and give the publisher appropriate feedback.
• Also make sure that you exhaust the scope of the entry included in the communication fee, which includes three entries in the list of goods and three brands (see also Conditions of Participation B, B10). This way, iterested visitors can find you more easily.
• If desired, additional services can be booked (such as your logo in the printed Visitor Guide), for which a fee is charged.

Attention!

We would like to point out that exhibitors at automatica are frequently contacted by outside companies that are supposedly acting on behalf of Messe München. Please note that these companies have not been commissioned by us.

All information regarding set-up and dismantling, logistics and traffic on the exhibition grounds—e.g. traffic guide, delivery of goods, approved forwarding agents—can be found under Logistics & Traffic.

Once you have confirmed your stand proposal, you will receive your registration invoice from January 2027. Payment is due two weeks after receipt of the invoice.

• Co-exhibitors may not specify a different invoice recipient.
• Approx. 4 to 6 weeks after the fair, exhibitors will receive the final invoice. Here, the item "Advance payment for services" listed on the admission invoice will be taken into account.

Payment by credit card: In Germany and the EU, bank transfers are the most common payment method in the B2B sector. Our IT systems are optimally adapted to bank transfers, which contributes to the efficiency of the processes. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer credit card payments in our IT architecture.

We therefore ask for your understanding that we can no longer accept direct credit card payments for events in 2025 and beyond.

For payments by credit card with integrated bank transfer, there are numerous transfer service providers such as Wise, Paysend, Remitly. In this way, we can integrate your payment into the IT landscape and automatically offset it against the outstanding invoice. Please always state the invoice number when making a payment.

1) Cancellation free of charge

Application for automatica is initially non-binding. Therefore, in the phase between registration and confirmation of the placement proposal, there are no cancellation fees.

2) Cancellation with costs

By confirming your placement proposal, the registration becomes legally valid. From this point on, cancellation fees will apply if you cancel your trade show appearance. Cancellation must be made in writing to automatica.projektleitung@messe-muenchen.de.

Cancellation fees: If the stand can be re-rented, the cancellation charges will be 25 percent of the participation fee. If it is no longer possible to sublet the stand, 100 percent of the participation fee will be charged. More information can be found in item "A5" of the General Conditions of Participation.

If you wish, you can order online vouchers for customers and invite them to the fair. Invoices can be orderd via the Exhibitor Shop and will be put on the exhibitor's final invoice. Only used vouchers will be charged.

Additionally, you can also present yourself to visitors outside your stand by booking advertising space on the exhibition grounds. An overview of the available advertising spaces and advertising media such as promotion teams or wind masters on the way to the main entrance can be found here.

Finally, you may use the automatica logos in your advertising materials (print or online) in order to draw attention to your trade-fair stand. Various file formats are available for downloading in our media database.
