So your team coordinates as little as possible internally, we group planning, build and on-site support into three clear steps.
The starting point only needs the essentials: what the presence should achieve, how large the floor area is and how tight the timing is.
From there it gets quick: whether EXPRESS is the more economic fit or whether EXFAIR offers more leverage for brand, visitor flow and impact.
Production, setup, dismantling and the coordination around the presence get organized so your team stays unburdened.
Real projects from 2025 and 2026. We plan your stand at Leipziger Messe the same way, with a first assessment within 48 h.

Leipziger Messe combines industrial and public formats: the intec and Z fair duo brings machine tool manufacturing and the supplier industry together every two years in March and together drew more than 700 exhibitors in 2025. Leipziger Buchmesse draws a very broad audience of around 300,000, therapie Leipzig serves the therapy and rehabilitation market, and CADEAUX the gift and decoration trade.
For booth planning: The difference between the formats is considerable, a stand for intec with technical exhibits follows a completely different logic from an appearance at the book fair. For the trade events: short distances, dense conversations, plan compactly.
Leipziger Buchmesse is the annual March book and media fair organised by Leipziger Messe GmbH with the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels as patron. Publishers, authors and media present books, children's and educational media, audiobooks, comics and manga, in 2026 with 2,044 exhibitors and 313,000 visitors.
Intec is the biennial March trade fair for machine tools, manufacturing and automation technology organised by Leipziger Messe GmbH and runs alongside the supplier fair Z. It shows cutting and forming machine tools, precision tools, automation, metrology and industrial services, in 2025 the fair duo drew over 700 exhibitors and 17,800 visitors.
The supplier fair Z takes place every two years in March alongside Intec and is organised by Leipziger Messe GmbH. It addresses suppliers at lower and middle production stages and industrial service providers for mechanical engineering, automotive, toolmaking, plastics, electronics, medical technology and rail vehicle manufacturing.
therapie LEIPZIG is a biennial May trade fair with congress for therapy, medical rehabilitation and prevention, organised by Leipziger Messe GmbH. It addresses professionals from therapy and healthcare occupations, in 2025 with 394 exhibitors and 19,400 trade visitors.

It addresses specialist retailers and shows gift items, home accessories and lifestyle products, in September 2026 with more than 250 exhibitors and brands and 5,700 visitors.

The questions that come up most often for a quick orientation, a clear brief and a professional presence at Leipziger Messe.
When time, budget clarity and a fast decision process matter, EXPRESS Booth is usually the right fit. For custom architecture, larger floor areas and stronger brand staging, EXFAIR is the better path.
EXPRESS Booth fits when a Leipziger Messe presence should be delivered fast, with clear pricing and low coordination effort. It works especially well when clear packages, short paths and an efficient booth structure matter more than maximum customization.
EXFAIR is the better choice when the booth should be planned strategically: custom architecture, brand impact, visitor flow, product staging and a solution tailored more tightly to brand and conversations.
Helpful inputs are the goal of the presence, planned floor area, timing, desired impact, existing graphics or systems, technical requirements and whether you're leaning toward a fast fixed-price path or a custom brand space.
Main factors are floor area, level of customization, graphics, technology, logistics, setup, dismantling, on-site support and the potential to reuse existing elements. As a benchmark, EXPRESS booths start at €5,999 net fixed price per show (companies based outside Germany pay no German VAT), including set-up, dismantling, wall graphics and flooring. Custom EXFAIR brand spaces are quoted per project because these factors combine differently each time.
Yes. We cover design, technical implementation, graphic production, logistics and the actual coordination around the Leipzig presence, so internal coordination for marketing, sales and project leads stays low.
At Leipziger Messe, five leading trade fairs shape the calendar: Leipziger Buchmesse (Books, media & literature, annual); intec (Machine tools & production technology, every two years); Z (Supplier industry & industrial services, every two years); therapie Leipzig (Therapy, rehabilitation & prevention, every two years); CADEAUX Leipzig (Gifts & home accessories, twice a year). The next confirmed dates are listed in the trade fair calendar on this page, with details on each fair in the section Leading trade fairs in detail.
Leipziger Buchmesse is held annually. The next edition runs from 18 to 21 March 2027. An EXPRESS booth needs little lead time: quote within 24 hours, set-up in one day. A custom EXFAIR brand space needs considerably more time for concept, 3D planning and production; the earlier floor area and stand type are fixed, the more room remains for design.
The difference between the formats is considerable, a stand for intec with technical exhibits follows a completely different logic from an appearance at the book fair. For the trade events: short distances, dense conversations, plan compactly. The venue has 5 halls with 111,900 m² of hall space and 70,000 m² of outdoor area. Leipzig/Halle Airport in eight minutes by S-Bahn line S 5 or 10–15 minutes via the motorway; “Leipzig Messe” station with S-Bahn and regional trains, tram terminus “Messegelände”, motorway junction A 14 (exit Leipzig-Messegelände). The technical guidelines of Leipziger Messe are binding: hall heights, floor loads, rigging and delivery windows come from those documents and are checked per project before the stand is planned.
Yes. Planning, production, set-up and dismantling happen locally at Leipziger Messe, so where your company is based does not change the process; only your team and exhibits travel to Leipzig.
