Unfortunately, it happens again and again that exhibitors receive misleading listing offers in order to be included in so-called trade fair and exhibitor directories. Well-known companies and online directories are art-living.info, Expo Guide, International Fairs Directory, Handwerk-Markt.com, Handcraft-market.com and Construct Data Publisher. Messe Dortmund GmbH expressly states that it has no connection whatsoever with "Expo Guide", "art-living.info", "FAIR GUIDE", "International Fairs Directory", "Handwerk-Markt.com" and "Handcraft-market.com".

We expressly distance ourselves from the business practices of these companies. In most cases, these are unauthorized publishers who finance themselves through paid listings in various directories. However, they often give the impression that the offer is free of charge. It is only in the small print of the terms and conditions that the amount and duration of the payment obligation can be found - which often turns into a nasty surprise.

Entries in the official media of our events can be made via our Online Service Center (OSC). The access data for the OSC will be sent to you together with the stand confirmation by our trade fair teams on Messe Dortmund GmbH letterhead or by e-mail with the appropriate signature.
