Platformers' Days 2021: Review
"Finally experiencing trade fairs live again" was the unanimous credo of exhibitors, visitors and trade fair management.
The premiere of the Platformers' Days also heralded the restart of Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre's own trade fair business after a three-year break due to Corona. Satisfied faces and the joy of seeing each other again characterised the mood. The participants gathered information from over 100 exhibitors from ten countries, who presented their new products, machines and equipment from the mobile lifting and access technology sector at the first edition of the Platformers' Days at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre.
Who was there?
The exhibition space doubled compared to the previous fair and was already occupied four months before the start of the fair. A quarter of the regular exhibitors even more than doubled their stand areas and were thus able to present a wider product range than in previous years. The trade fair management was pleased about a fifth of new exhibitors and numerous product premieres. For the outstanding quality of the exhibitors, 99 percent of the respondents gave top marks.
"It was the right decision to visit the Platformers' Days 2021 in Karlsruhe: High information content, wide range of innovations and a convincing overall concept! Simply the perfect new location" reports Dieter Beyer, Owner of Beyer Mietservice.
This business event kept what it promised! For trade visitors, it was a concentrated trade fair for mobile lifting and height-access technology in an absolutely professional setting. Once again, our thanks go to Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre, the organisers, the numerous exhibitors and their staff. The effort was worth it! For us, it was two intense days, which we used in a very concentrated manner. Also the networking with our branch colleagues did not fall short.
As co-founder of Platformers’ Days, it is very important to me that the event continues to evolve successfully. I’m sure that the collaboration with the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre will see it go from strength to strength. Karlsruhe is the perfect venue for Platformers’ Days. I’m looking forward to the corporation.
Platformers’ Days has become a regular date in our trade fair calendar. This is where decision-makers from manufacturers and sales organisations come to meet their most important customers, above all those who lease powered access equipment. We are looking forward to the new location in Karlsruhe, and are pleased that the event will retain its family feeling while welcoming new visitors.
