During ANUGA
We recommend that you arrange your own schedule at the exhibition. There is no expectation on delegates to attend all 5 days of the exhibition.

DBT will produce a company brochure and circulate to our DBT overseas posts attending ANUGA. Our colleagues will circulate to companies in the market who they are aware that are exhibiting or visiting ANUGA.

Companies should endeavour to set up individual meetings in advance of ANUGA and contact companies they wish to meet with during the visit in advance advising they will be attending the exhibition and, closer to the time, set up meetings. You can then book meeting space on the DBT stand*.

*Subject to eligibility and availability

The DBT would advise delegates are flexible when arranging time and meeting locations, including outside of the exhibition centre.
