What is the LEaT con?
LEaT con, the new convention for entertainment technologies for events and install solutions from October 18 to 20, 2022 in Hamburg Messe und Congress (HMC) is different. It intentionally breaks away from the classic trade fair concept and offers an innovative event experience with a combination of exhibition and convention. Unlike classic trade fairs, LEaT con enhances product presentations with comprehensive information for visitors and the growing importance of exchange between the various industry participants on overarching topics, all in a single space. The result is a unique mix of exhibition and customer experience that will inspire the audience of the new convention for entertainment technologies for events and install solutions and sustainably support and promote the community spirit of the industry.

Who organizes LEaT con?
The organizer of LEaT con is Ebner Media Group GmbH and Co. KG.
What is planned in terms of the program?
The LEaT academy, as the organizer of the convention’s conference program, will provide key educational content for the visiting audience on all three days, as well as opportunities for interaction with the LEaT brand and exhibitors. Exhibitors can contribute to the program with seminars or workshops, providing a deep dive into their products and their functionalities as well as application. In addition, LEaT con will address topics that are currently affecting the entertainment industry via a variety of keynotes, panel discussions and lectures, ranging from a much-needed effective lobby for the event industry to tax and social security issues, event safety, the shortage and promotion of young professionals and much more.
Will there be an evening event?
Yes, there will be! We’ll wrap up the first day of the event with a networking evening featuring live music, hop brews and snacks in the stage area of the hall.
Have you given any thought to the issue of sustainability and large-scale events?
Sustainability is a big issue for us and is therefore reflected in our concept. With our system stands, exhibitors don’t have to hire their own stand builders, which not only saves time and planning effort, but also minimizes the stand builders’ trips and CO2 emissions. After the event, the system stands end up completely back in storage and therefore we are minimizing waste. In the aisles, we do not use carpet at all. Even recyclable carpet that is laid out for three days has to be produced first. We explicitly do not use plastic or cardboard tableware for our catering.

Which hygiene and safety concept do you have?
There are currently many changes with regard to the guidelines. We are monitoring the situation and updating the concept according to the current situation.
Will there be press tickets/accreditations?
Of course there will be tickets for the press and a separate accreditation. If you are interested, you can find the press contact person here.
Are there parking spaces at the fair?
Hamburg Messe offers several parking garages. The “Parkhaus Mitte (Messe)” is located directly at the fair and has a capacity of 900 spaces. The “Parkplatz West”, with a capacity of 200 spaces, is located behind Hall A3 and is only open during trade fair hours. Hamburg Messe is located in the center of Hamburg, with excellent public transport connections, so we recommend that you travel by public transport during the trade fair. In cooperation with the HVV we offer you the “LEaT con HVV Ticket” – more information will be available soon. Alternatively, you can travel with Deutsche Bahn and get the City Ticket included with your event ticket.
