MESSEBAUKÖLN UND DÜSSELDORF

dmexco 2026 Booth Builder in Cologne

dmexco is Europe’s leading digital marketing and tech event, and it comes early: late September. Exhibiting here now takes a plan and a fast local booth builder.

dmexco 2026 runs September 23 to 24, 2026 at Koelnmesse, gathering Europe’s digital marketing and tech scene: platforms, agencies, ad tech, retail media and AI vendors. Messebau Köln und Düsseldorf (German for exhibition stand construction Cologne and Dusseldorf) is operated by Standbuilder International, Inc.; your dmexco trade show booth is planned and built by CBS Neospace GmbH of Ratingen, ISO 9001:2015 certified, with warehouse stock in Düren.

What makes a dmexco booth different

  • Brand over wall space. At dmexco, strong graphics, screens and a clear meeting zone beat raw square meters. Rental systems with high-grade custom graphics are the format of choice.
  • Meetings are the product. Semi-open meeting corners, a walk-in counter and a compact lounge get a lot out of small footprints; AV and LED surfaces are planned in from the start.
  • Speed. Two show days, tight build-up windows, inner-city logistics on timed slots. Short distances and same-day resupply from Düren keep the schedule stable.
