Together with an external team of consultants, the Rosengarten has developed a hygiene concept that allows similar events to be held again in compliance with current regulations regarding distance and hygiene. The health of all visitors and employees has the highest priority. The consistent implementation of these regulations makes it possible – albeit to a limited extent – to resume event operations. The most important points for visitors and organisers of the Rosengarten are listed below as examples.

On the event site, m:con as operator and Schwabe, Ley & Greiner as organiser are responsible for the implementation and conscientious observance of the protection and hygiene rules valid at the time of the event. On the exhibition stand, you as an exhibitor are responsible, comparable to compliance with industrial safety laws or fire protection. In addition, the general and special „Technical Guidelines“ of the event remain valid.

We ask you to adapt your stand construction concepts with regard to the applicable protection and hygiene regulations.

We also ask you to name a contact person in your company – who is responsible for the implementation/compliance of the hygiene measures – and to provide his or her contact details at the stand. In addition, the contact details of all persons deployed at the stand must be available on a daily basis.

Distance rules

  • Currently, a minimum distance of 1.5m applies.
  • Stand planning should be more generous and less developed in order to allow as many people as possible to visit the stand simultaneously. We will be happy to provide you with a larger stand space in consultation and, if possible, free of charge.
  • Open spaces around freestanding exhibits must be generously marked with distance markings to provide orientation for visitors.
  • Lectures and presentations at the stand can be held at the exhibition stand in compliance with the currently valid protection and hygiene regulations. A clear guidance of the participants and the allocation of seats is mandatory.
  • Exhibits, showcases, counters, displays, screens, etc. must be moved 1.5 m into the stand if possible to enable visitors to leave the hall aisle.
  • Product presentations directly at the edge of the stand are prohibited in order to prevent crowds of people in the hall aisle.
  • Personal contacts and meeting areas with tables and chairs must be accompanied by suitable structural measures (e.g. acrylic glass panes) or personal protective equipment (mouth-and-nose cover) if the minimum distance is not observed.

Booth Catering

  • Stand parties are not possible under the currently valid conditions.
  • If external catering companies are commissioned, the exhibitor is responsible for monitoring the specifications. Food and drinks can be offered pre-portioned and sealed. In the case of open food, an appropriate acrylic glass partition is additionally required. Mouth and nose covering as well as adherence to the rules of distance and hygiene are assumed.
  • Self-service is not permitted unless the food is packaged.
