Messe Augsburg has some exciting news for you: the new consumer trade fair “A\FAIR – Deine Augsburger Erlebnismesse” (your Augsburg experience trade fair) will be held at Messe Augsburg in March 2025. From March 7 to 9, 2025, the entire trade fair grounds will be transformed into a colorful world of experience.
From Augsburg for Augsburg: this was the guiding principle behind the development of the new trade fair concept, which combines the themes of “Leisure & Tourism”, “Home & Pleasure” and “Region & Homeland”. Each theme will have a dedicated exhibition hall to give consumers a focused overview of the market. The trade fair has been designed to offer a combination of experience, product presentation and interpersonal exchanges to satisfy the changing requirements and expectations of visitors in terms of a shopping experience.
Messe Augsburg has therefore teamed up with some strong partners to deliver this. These are the guest organizers pro air Medienagentur GmbH and MPA Public Relations & Event Agentur GmbH on the one hand and, on the other, Pressedruck media group as the media partner. In addition to its own offering, A\FAIR will be combining the parallel events Immobilientage, VOLT, CREATIVMESSE and the health trade fair intersana into a premium consumer event in Augsburg. These collaborations highlight the shared vision of a strong trade fair alliance that is designed by and for all of Bavarian Swabia.
Moreover, the admission price for all events will be reduced in March 2025. The ticket price is €8.00, which is also lower than the admission prices for trade fairs held to date in 2024. Children up to the age of 16 are free of charge, so you can look forward to a real family trade fair event!
