FAQ Light + Building

The submission of your non-binding intention to exhibit at Light + Building 2026 has started in November 2024.

If you have either participated in past Light + Buildings, or have already registered as an interested party, you already received an invitation to take part in Light + Building 2026 by email.

Please follow the link in the invitation and complete your intention to exhibit.

Please use our request sheet.  

To get more information about your company, we kindly ask you to fill out and return the request sheet with your product catalogues to us. We cannot process your booth request without your product information because our stand offer (hall, stand neighborhood, product range) will be based on the products you intend to exhibit.

We would be glad to hear from you as soon as possible.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be pleased to help you:

We will contact you as soon as we have checked the placement options. You will then receive a customized stand space proposal from us, which you should sign and return to acceptance.light-building@messefrankfurt.com within the feedback period.

The planning phase of Light + Building 2026 runs from May 2025 until December 2025.

Please note that the planning coordination process with other exhibitors and their feedback takes time. This may result in waiting times.

Once you have received an individual stand space proposal from us and have signed and returned it back to us. Then you receive the official confirmation of participation within a week.

The contract between the exhibitor and Messe Frankfurt comes into effect with the dispatch of the written Participation Confirmation. (General terms of Business, point 6).

An overview of important dates and deadlines for the fair preparation can be found in our checklist.

Two-storey constructions are possible in some halls (see construction heights).
For this purpose, the plans required for the application for approval, including a check of the statics, must be submitted in duplicate 6 weeks before construction begins at the latest to

Messe Frankfurt Venue GmbH
Technical Event Management
Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1
D-60327 Frankfurt am Main
www.messefrankfurt.com/standapproval

For more detailed information, please see the General Terms & Conditions of Business or the Technical Guidelines in the version in force for the time being.

For the inspection of a two-storey structure the exhibitor will be charged a fee. The costs of the approval procedure (inspection of documents submitted and approval in situ) will be invoiced to the exhibitor or stand builder. Should no static calculation have been provided, certified by a second, independent static engineer, the engineering practice commissioned by Messe Frankfurt will undertake the inspection itself and pass the costs on separately to the exhibitor.   

Should you have any questions, please contact:

In case of a one side open or two side open stand, 6 cm must be subtracted from the confirmed stand width to obtain the clear width, due to the width of the partition walls.

The booked stand initially only includes the stand area. If required, we will provide you with stand dividing walls free of charge.

You will receive a personalized e-mail during the trade fair planning process in which we will ask you about your requirements. We will also inform you of the regular order deadline for the free stand walls. The order deadline can also be found in the Shop for Exhibitor Services or the event checklist.

From 21 days before the event, we charge an express flat rate for the stand walls. This fee is necessary due to the increased logistical and planning effort required shortly before the event.

Should you have any questions or wish to make any changes, please contact walls.light-building@messefrankfurt.com

Please note that the stand walls must not be damaged (no nails, screws etc.).

Stands located in outdoor areas, temporary structures, mobile stands, two-storey stands, special mountings and special designs have to be approved separately and are subject to a charge.

Special designs include, for example:

• Stands of over 100 sq m
• Two-storey constructions
• Walls over 4 m high
• Closed ceilings
• Plinths higher than 0.20 m
• Glass constructions
• Moving components

Suitably scaled stand plans (e.g. 1:100) are to be submitted in duplicate for approval at the latest six weeks before construction begins and labelled in German or English.

They should be submitted to:

Messe Frankfurt Venue GmbH
Technical Event Management
Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1
D-60327 Frankfurt am Main
www.messefrankfurt.com/standapproval

At least 70% of all sides of the stand-construction adjoining an aisle must be open or transparent. Elongated closed stand constructions on the aisles are not permitted. Please check the technical guidelines. In the case of non-compliance we explicitly reserve the right to have modifications made onsite.

The hall supports are marked in the hall plan as a black square or circle. The supports are covered to a height of 3 m with a white-coated chip-board (except for Hall 11.0: wich has no support covering). The coverings must not be encumbered or damaged. You will find the precise measurements and location of the support(s) in the stand sketch of our stand place proposal. The dimensions refer to the support covering. 

In most halls it is possible to fix suspended items in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Shop for Exhibitor Services. Suspensions must only be fitted by the hall electrician. For your order please use our Shop for Exhibitor Services.
