Classic + digital GASTexpo fair
Hybrid fair
The hybrid version of the fair enables a completely new dimension of business networking and expansion of B2B business contacts. It is a digital fair that takes place alongside the classic show.
You can contact exhibitors before, during and after the classic fair. This way, visitors can plan their time in advance and devote quality time to personal meetings with exhibitors at the fair. If, for objective reasons, a visitor cannot attend, they can arrange a meeting with the exhibitor before or after the fair.
In the digital part of the fair, you can meet exhibitors in digital exhibition spaces or showrooms between 20 January and 28 February 2027.
