Book Trade Fair Staff in Cologne

Koelnmesse hosts shows with very different rhythms: imm cologne in January runs on design buyers, spoga+gafa in June on garden and outdoor trade, gamescom in August on hundreds of thousands of consumers, and Anuga in October on the global food business. Each needs a different stand team.

Cologne gives us a pool of more than 3,900 registered students, including people who handle consumer crowds as calmly as trade visitors. We quote within hours, staff within days, brief every team beforehand and add no travel or accommodation to the bill.

You can also book individual trade fair hostesses for your booth in Cologne through ucm - from reception to multilingual stand support.

As a trade fair agency, ucm provides stand personnel, hostesses and setup helpers from a single source - one contact for briefing, scheduling and invoicing.

Where our staff work in Cologne: the Koelnmesse halls in Deutz with their north and south entrances, the LANXESS Arena for large corporate formats, and hotels and brewery halls in the Old Town used for exhibitor evenings.

What consumer shows change about staffing: they need more runners, more cloakroom cover and steadier shift rotation than trade-only formats. We provide hostesses, stand staff, ticketing and cloakroom teams, set-up and dismantling helpers and lead capture personnel for both kinds of show.

Short-notice needs or a no-show at the fair?

A no-show on the first fair day, more visitors than expected or a missing language profile: because our staff live in Cologne, replacements are possible even while the fair is running. Quotes arrive within hours, staffing follows within days.
