Koelnmesse and event venues in the Rhineland

Cologne is one of Germany’s best-known trade fair locations. Koelnmesse in Cologne-Deutz, right on the Rhine, hosts numerous international trade and consumer fairs. On top of that, the city offers congress centres, halls and event venues.

Every fair has its own technical guidelines, deadlines and build-up and dismantling times. We align stand planning, delivery and installation with the organiser’s requirements – so your stand is ready when the doors open.

From Bad Homburg to Cologne: how we work

We are based in Bad Homburg in the Rhine-Main region and work across Germany and Europe. For your appearance in Cologne we plan and produce your stand in advance, organise transport and logistics and travel with our team for installation.

During the fair we are available for you, and once it closes we take care of dismantling. You have one contact – from the first sketch to the last day of teardown.

FAQ: exhibition stands in Cologne

Do you build exhibition stands at Koelnmesse?

Yes. setart works across Germany and Europe – and of course in Cologne. Just tell us the fair, the dates and your stand size, and we will get back to you with first ideas and a non-binding quote.

Is it a disadvantage that you are not based in Cologne?

No. We plan and produce your stand in advance, coordinate transport and delivery and are on site with our team for installation, during the fair and for dismantling. You still have just one contact.

Can you also deliver an event in Cologne alongside the stand?

Yes. Besides exhibition stands we plan and build stages for conferences, galas and live events as well as temporary experiential worlds such as roadshows and brand activations – including across several locations.

Do you offer rental and system stands for Cologne?

Yes. Alongside bespoke custom builds we offer flexible system solutions as well as furniture and equipment from our rental portfolio – ideal if your stand is used at several fairs.

When should we start planning?

The earlier the better – especially for custom builds. Ideally get in touch as soon as your trade fair date and stand space are confirmed; that leaves enough time for concept, approvals and production.
