Trade ExhibitionGeneral InformationThe exhibition will be held in the ICC Berlin where the conference with all sessions also takes place. More than 2.500 m² net exhibition space will be available in the foyers and in an exhibitors' hall.
Despite all the new communications technology, face-to-face is much the preferred and most successful way of doing business. No sales brochure can perform as well as personal contact and hands-on product demonstrations. In 2003 the best opportunity you will have to renew existing customer loyalty, reinforce your branding and reach entirely new global markets, will be at IFLA in Berlin. Your captive international audience will be senior librarians and information professionals from all over the world. They will come from national, regional and local authority libraries, blue chip corporations, major universities, institutions and medical libraries worldwide.
