The LOUNGES Anniversary

LOUNGES2016_screen01

The 10th LOUNGES - Trade Fair for Cleanroom and Pharmaceutical Process Technology will take place from April 5 to 7, 2016, at Messe Stuttgart.

The secret of success? The LOUNGES are more focused than traditional trade fairs, and participation is much more relaxed and informative for exhibitors and visitors alike.

This again includes over 7,000 trade visitors, an enhanced lecture program—mainly for executives, focusing on the pharmaceutical process and cleanroom technology, with minimal effort required for visitors and exhibitors to participate.

An extensive exhibition, interesting lectures, practical demonstrations, intensive discussion rounds, diverse catering, quiet conversation zones, and a relaxed evening event form the core of the LOUNGES.

As outlined in the "LOUNGE Concept," competence is demonstrated to the trade visitors, because the event is not only about the pure sale of a product or service—rather, it emphasizes the presentation and transfer of expertise, application, experience, customer orientation, and the competence of the exhibiting companies as potential business partners.

Thus, the event offers several communication platforms:
The Trade Fair Stand – it is the main contact point for conversations between exhibitors and customers. Products and services are the focus here. The exhibitor specifically invites customers and interested parties.
The Lecture – here, the provider demonstrates competence on a neutral basis. By choosing their lecture, they influence the quality of visitors—also at their booth. If they convey basic knowledge, beginners and production staff will attend. If they convey expert knowledge, experienced employees and decision-makers will attend. Project presentations are particularly popular. They invite customers and interested parties in advance of the event.
Through demonstrations of neutral applications (no product showcase) on the Action Area, they show practical experience. Another platform to demonstrate competence.
The exhibitor invites targeted visitors to their Expert Discussion before the event at their booth. They can also invite participants to a discussion round after their lecture. The discussion can be about continuing the lecture topic or another subject. The timing of the expert discussion is announced by the organizer along with the lecture, action, and product show in the overall program.
For the Product Show, the exhibitor specifically invites interested parties, customers, and other visitors to their booth before the event to showcase an innovation or a new product.

Not to be underestimated are the Evening Events. On this communication platform, networking and relaxed chatting with customers, interested parties, or colleagues are possible.

All of this together creates the communicative atmosphere and the unique flair of the LOUNGES.
Under the umbrella of LOUNGES, the two focus areas are cleanroom technology and pharmaceutical processes.
