WARNING: FRAUDULENT SERVICE PROVIDERS 

Unofficial service providers are a constant source of annoyance for organisers and exhibitors

WARNING: DIRECTORY SCAMS AND OTHER FRAUDULENT SERVICE PROVIDERS

Caution! Providers of unofficial

  • exhibitor directories
  • hotel agencies and other
  • trade show related services

repeatedly cause annoyance among organisers and exhibitors.

These companies send out offer forms to exhibitors at German trade shows. The structure of these companies' forms is such that it could be mistaken, for example, for a free entry in the official exhibitor directory of the trade show organiser. In fact, however, the small print results in high costs.
 
As exhibitors at our trade shows, we would like to point out to you that these companies and their exhibitor directories have no business relationship whatsoever with GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH and the trade shows we organise.

We would also like to point out that you can only be contacted for trade show media (opti MAP, opti CONNECT) by our partner:

If you have already signed a form or concluded other contracts by mistake, you should revoke this as soon as possible or react with a declaration of rescission due to error.
 
If you are not sure whether an offer is directly from one of our trade shows, then simply send it to us by fax (+49 89 189 149 239) or e-mail (opti@ghm.de) with your contact details. We will then contact you so that you can be sure when you fill in a form.
