Messe Augsburg raises the bar after the pandemic: a record turnover in 2023 marks a dynamic start to 2024

Messe Augsburg can look back on a successful 2023 characterized by numerous new events and a record-breaking annual turnover. Last year saw growth and innovation, which was demonstrated in particular by the establishment of more trade fairs and events at the Augsburg venue. Strategic moves in terms of trade fair services proved to be extremely popular with customers and generated a year-end result that exceeded all expectations.

This momentum has set Messe Augsburg off to a flying start for the 2024 new year. As a sign of its ambitious future plans, Messe Augsburg joined the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA), the leading association of the German trade fair industry, and is now one of approx. 70 members that represent the trade fair sector in Germany.

“Our entry into AUMA marks another milestone for Messe Augsburg, as we are striving to develop into a fresh and dynamic location for technical and specialist areas. Membership of AUMA is a clear indication of our future objectives,” says CEO Lorenz A. Rau.

Messe Augsburg is kicking 2024 off with an impressive program of events. Two key events are particularly notable: the MEHR conference was held on the first weekend of the year, a faith event that has expanded at the Messe Augsburg and is an impressive demonstration of how the versatile capabilities of the venue can be used. Just one week later, the traditional JAGEN UND FISCHEN 2024 event confirmed its permanent status as an event guaranteed to draw the crowds early in the year. Both events once again attracted many thousands of visitors to the exhibition halls and was a promising start to a year that is packed with high-caliber events and trade fairs.

The outlook for Q1 2024 essentially shows what trade fairs visitors can look forward to in Augsburg:

✓ the trio of trade fairs afa, VOLT E-Mobilität, Immobilientage (from February 2 to 4, 2024)
