Automechanika Frankfurt: 2014 facts and figures –
looking back and looking forward.
There are many good reasons to come back to Frankfurt for the next
Automechanika. This brochure gives you some of these reasons in the form
of key facts and figures. A little bit of background:
Messe Frankfurt is a founder member of the FKM in Berlin (the Society for
Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics), which has been promoting transparency in the trade show industry since 1965.
Every year, nearly 250 trade shows and exhibitions by some 60 organizers
have their visitor and exhibitor numbers and their floor space data checked
and verified by the FKM. The certified figures are then published online at
www.fkm.de and www.auma.de as well as in FKM’s annual “Certified
Exhibition Data” report.
At all of its own events, Messe Frankfurt also carries out FKM-compliant
visitor surveys. At the Automechanika 2014, we interviewed a total of 2,194
trade show visitors from Germany and abroad.
In addition, all exhibitors were asked to fill in an evaluation form to provide
feedback on their trade show experience. This was returned by 3,279
exhibitors.
The following pages give an overview of the results from these comprehensive surveys.
