Meals can also, at that time, be taken to the Lounge if you like.

Forum Programme
All of our Forum presentations are set-up interview-style. Please have a look for yourself how our moderators are doing their job on stage. Please meet at the Information Counter one-half hour before the printed time of your interview for a preliminary talk with your scheduled moderator. Alternatively, you may meet your moderator informally before your interview at any time suitable to you. Please don’t forget to support our Moderator with a text to be used for our Internet Documentation and further promotion on your individual Forum web page.

Internet Documentation
Please help us to optimise the Internet Documentation of all your activities, your booth, your Forum interview, your company representatives, your special guests. Our photographers and copywriters will come to your booth to take photos and get statements/captions associated with the photos being taken. Please bear in mind that these photos will be posted on your company’s web pages, which we have created for you, and which will be updated during the fair:

• Exhibitors, just click to your companies name
• Forum Participants, just click to your timeslot
• VIP Guest, just see your individual program

Please communicate to our Internet Team (in advance and with enough time) the most important people you want to have featured on our Internet photo coverage (also together with main customers if you like), as well as, the important exhibit(s) on your booth. Please tell our Internet Team what you would like to be featured for the Internet documentation of your booth.

Meeting Rooms
There are 4 private meetings rooms available for your exclusive use – 1 room to accommodate 40 persons max, 2 rooms to accommodate 10 persons max, and 1 room to accommodate 6 persons max. Meeting rooms are located on the far south west side of the H2/FC Group Exhibit. Meeting rooms should be reserved in advance at the Information Counter. You can also follow-up the booking online.

VIP Meeting Point
This year again we will welcome many top-level executives, politicians and commercial VIPs as visitors to the H2/FC Group Exhibit. As you may know, some of these dignitaries travel with security and we’d ask for your cooperation in accommodating their requests.
