All sponsor and exhibitor packages include a virtual exhibition profile. You will receive your login credentials via email on November 4.
What you can already prepare today:

What to do when the platform goes live (November 4, 2026):
Expand your company profile with videos, PDFs, text and add products.

During the conference:
Be active and check your inbound leads!
Networking & matchmaking
All participants will get access to the virtual platform. They will be shown as physical/hybrid or virtual.
Accordingly, all attendees from your company like staff for your booth will automatically get access to the platform and you may assign them to your company team.
For people physically attending it might be challenging though to observe the virtual platform and join video calls. Therefore, we advise to also add virtual team members who attend the conference remotely (free of charge).
Virtual team members must not necessarily be available around the clock on all conference days, as appointment availability can be set individually via the platform.
All members of your team generate leads for your company.
The AI-powered software supports your team in face-to-face networking on-site and connects you with virtual attendees, too.
The platform offers the following features:
Livestream of the conference program (main track) with live questions and polls
Virtual exhibition and search for products
AI based matchmaking
Chats with other participants
Schedule B2B meetings (video calls or on-site meetings)
Video-calls via the platform
Online speednetworking sessions
After the conference:
The platform will remain open for chats until November 30, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. CET.
Export your leads and follow-up before the platform closes.

The Estrel Congress Center cleans the event area every evening, however without cleaning the stands separately. The exhibitor is responsible for cleaning his own stand. Cleaning must be completed before the event starts, each day. From our experience, the daily basic cleaning by the Estrel is sufficient and additional stand cleaning does not necessarily have to be commissioned.
If you need special cleaning solutions, please contact expoequip.
