What You Can Expect as an Exhibitor

• The Munich Show might be open to the general public, but it’s also a place to conduct business and grow your professional network. Jewelers, in particular, benefit from their very own trade area – the “Gemworld Professional”, which is open to specialists only;
• The Munich Show is also a through line to museums, which often participate at the fair in different capacities. This, in turn, gathers more interest from the industry press and you’re in a great position to generate buzz for your business and qualify sales leads;
• Every edition offers a completely different feel and experience since it’s build around a new theme each year. This sees the inclusion of special exhibits and presentations. One of the most exciting special exhibitions in 2019, for instance, answered the question of “Who gathers, writes history”.

The Munich Show – Mineralientage is a well performer for a specialised fair of its kind. Last year saw the inclusion of 1250 international exhibitors that came from 63 countries total. The audience rose to a total of over 40,000 visitors; this includes industry professionals and gem enthusiasts from the public.

That’s what is so interesting about The Munich Show – Mineralientage. It is as likely to encounter families with young children interested in gems and fossils as it is likely to interact with collectors, buyers, scientists, and museum staff.
