Back to the Roots – The lounges back in Karlsruhe from 2018

The processes in the cleanroom – practically illustrated

A crowd-puller – the tour through the individual stations of the Darkzone

The lecture program – cutting-edge contributions from authorities, industry, and research institutes

The new catering concept with containers centrally positioned in the hall is very well received.

The 2017 Lounges presented themselves in a new look and with an optimized concept, achieving unprecedented success. Over 290 companies showcased products and services at individual stands as well as in community areas, attracting more than 8,000 visitors.

The rebooking for 2018 is in full swing – so far, more than 150 companies have already secured their participation for 2018. Not least, the decision to return to Karlsruhe, the former home of the Lounges, after four years, has garnered great support from exhibitors.

At the old and simultaneously new location, the Lounges will once again be able to fully develop and take another step into a promising future.

The Visitor's Perspective: Expand Knowledge and Compare Providers

A visitor to a trade fair must make decisions in the interest of their company, manage a project, or simply have an interest in exchanging ideas with experts on current topics.

If they want to gather information at an "exhibition," they usually set clear goals and get an overview of the participating companies and their offerings in advance to plan their individual daily schedule.

Since time resources are usually limited, it is rarely possible for them to exhaust all available sources of information in just a few days.

To provide visitors with access to this information regardless of time and location, the exhibiting company can in the future make all relevant content available online.

In print media, they are informed about product innovations, interesting projects, and industry trends.

With x4com, visitors to the Lounges receive an active communication tool that allows them to ask targeted questions, receive personalized advice, and exchange information independently.

The Exhibitor's Perspective: Reach the Customers

Participation in the Lounges, which offers exhibitors a wide range of presentation opportunities, is a proven and successful tool to actively reach potential customers – the new cross-media networking across various communication channels will be the future.

The Lounges provide the ideal environment as a live event with exhibition booths, real-life presentations, activities, and product shows to vividly and effectively promote your products or services on a custom-designed stand.

With an online presence on the Lounges' websites, exhibitors can place their current contributions in company, product, or job news and make them accessible to a much broader audience.

Within the new community x4com, exhibitors and visitors of the Lounges communicate directly and personally.

This allows members to exchange ideas, plan their individual daily schedule for the Lounges, arrange appointments, manage leads, download documents – everywhere and at any time.

x4com – the forward-looking communication tool

On x4com, the new communication platform, you can build and utilize industry-specific contacts related to cleanroom and pharmaceutical processes throughout the year.

All exhibitors and visitors are automatically represented online once they register for the event. For exhibitors of the 2018 Lounges, all online services are already included in the booth costs.

Titus Krauss, Director of Sales & Marketing, Systec & Services GmbH, ISPE DACH Committee:

The Lounges have now secured a firm place in the German-speaking trade fair landscape. With their extraordinary concept, inviting atmosphere, and high level of presentations, they differ significantly from established trade fairs. With increasing internationalization, the Lounges are also attracting more and more interested parties from neighboring countries. As a partner of the Lounges, ISPE is pleased to be involved in this high-quality event.
