Exhibition Hall 8a

Exhibition Halls

Exhibition Hall 8a offers a total floor area of 12,850 square metres and is designed as a multifunctional event and exhibition space. It is suitable for a variety of formats, including corporate events, concerts and exhibitions. Thanks to its structural connection with the adjacent Hall 8b, both halls can be used together, expanding the continuous exhibition area to up to 25,700 square metres. This configuration supports larger event concepts that require extensive, contiguous floor space.

Large windows and skylights provide Hall 8a with ample natural daylight, while the hall can also be completely darkened if required. A comprehensive supply of power, water, compressed air and communication connections forms the technical basis for a wide range of usage scenarios. The modern technical infrastructure of the hall is designed to support reliable and well-organised event operations. Delivery and access are possible via several large doors, allowing approach from different sides by trucks or forklifts.

The hall includes an on-site restaurant and can be accessed directly via a covered walkway from the Messe Nord / Arena underground station. The adjacent North Entrance features a spacious foyer offering cloakrooms, registration and ticketing areas as well as lounge and waiting spaces designed to accommodate large numbers of visitors.
