How do I obtain my exhibitor accreditation?
Please register yourself (and all further employees) via the exhibitor portal. You will subsequently receive an email containing the eTicket in the form of a PDF.
The procedure is then as follows:
1. Print out the eTicket before your visit to the exposition.
2. Keep your eTicket ready for scanning at the check-in at the North Entrance.
3. After the eTicket has been scanned you will receive your personalised accreditation and will be granted FREE ENTRANCE to all Exposition and Conference areas.
IMPORTANT: The check-in for exchanging your eTicket for the accreditation is already open on Saturday, September 11th.

How do I register my colleagues?
Please also register your colleagues via the exhibitor portal, using the same procedure as above.
TIP: In the entry field “e-mail“ you determine whether the respective e-Ticket is sent to yourself or to the respective ticket holder. If you want to register over 20 people, please save the first entries then subsequently return to the entry page.

Are the exhibitor accreditations personalised?
The exhibitor accreditations for the dmexco 2010 are personalised also, the name and the company of the holder are printed on the pass.

When do our employees have to be registered by?
There is no deadline for the registration of your employees – you can register the corresponding people up to 5 minutes before visiting the exposition. Alternatively, you can have your colleagues accredited directly on-site. However, since this will probably involve waiting times, we recommend you to register in advance.

When are the exhibitor accreditations valid from – already on the day before the exposition?

Is there an exposition catalogue for the dmexco?
Instead of a classic exposition catalogue, there will be the “dmexco guide” for the dmexco 2010. As well as a list of the exhibitors – sorted alphabetically and according to exhibitor categories – the compact info brochure contains the
detailed hall layout plan and the up-to-date Conference programme. However, you do have the opportunity to post your company profile, press texts and additional information online via the exhibitor portal. We will make an explicit reference to this profile in the exhibitor search and on your URL in the dmexco guide.

Is it permitted to serve alcohol at the stand?
In line with point 5.14 Beverage dispensing equipment of the General Terms of Participation, the following applies: The regulations on beverage dispensing equipment and the operating safety regulations, in their respective valid versions, must be observed for the construction and operation of beverage dispensing equipment at the stand. It is not necessary to submit notification to the City of Cologne, if the beverages are to be distributed free of charge. However, if money is to be charged for the beverages, the respective authorities have to be notified that the beverage dispensing equipment is being put into operation as per the beverage dispensing equipment regulations. Any further queries should be addressed to the cited authorities:

Bezirksordnungsamt Innenstadt/ District Public Order City Centre

Are stand parties allowed?
Stand partys are permitted at the dmexco 2010 subject to prior notification. Please use the respective form for this purpose, which is available under the Downloads section. Smoking and the excessive consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden.

Will an internet connection be provided at the stands?
Our service partner Netcologne will be providing non-wireless Internet connections for the exhibitors and press. Please order the desired connection via the Koelnmesse service portal. The W-LANs that can be ordered via Netcologne are a further novelty this year.
IMPORTANT: We would kindly ask you not to install a W-LAN router at your stand, so that it doesn’t cause interference with the visitor W-LAN network.
Please note that we reserve the right to carry out examinations!
