Media Guide NRW 2011 - MESSE TREFF Verlag

Media Fairs in the Media Capital
Cologne Exhibition Centre, with the fifth largest exhibition
facilities in the world and situated in an outstanding location
overlooking Cologne Cathedral on the opposite bank of the
Rhine, is an important driving force for the development of
North Rhine-Westphalia as a media centre.
Over the past few years, the Koelnmesse
(Cologne Fair) strongly extended its
trade fair portfolio in the business segments
Communications & Media as well as IT & Digital
Entertainment. Globally leading trade fairs
appreciate the advantages of the Cologne fairground
as well as the conventions and special
events. To long-established events like the
photokina and the medienforum.nrw, new formats
occupying themselves in particular – and
with great success – with new developments in
the world of media and the interactive entertainment
industry have been added.
Cologne Media Fairs on the Road to
Success
From 17 to 21 August 2011, the international
games community will come together
in Cologne for the third time to experience
spectacular innovations and celebrate the
year’s most important games and entertainment
event. In 2010, 254,000 visitors and
505 exhibitors attended the international
trade fair and event highlight for interactive
games and entertainment in the city on the
Rhine. The tried and tested trade fair concept
gets all target groups of the games industry
involved, from developers, publishers and
retailers down to intensive players and the
dynamically growing group of occasional and
spare time players. The fair provides a suitable
offer to each and every target group: the
business centre gives industry and trade an
ideal environment to do business, and in the
entertainment area exhibitors present visitors
the entire world of interactive entertainment
to test and join in.
Following its successful premiere in 2010, the
Conlife Convention for Home Networking and
Connected Life goes into its second round
in 2011. High-profile experts from practical
business life, politics and research will discuss
the various technologies and fields of application
for solutions in the home networking
segment on 29 and 30 June 2011.
Imaging Fair with a Long Tradition
The photokina, which has already brought the
global photo world to Cologne since 1950,
can look back on the longest history. More
than 180,000 visitors attended the internationally
leading fair of the imaging industry
in 2010. The who-is-who of the international
photo and imaging industry presented itself
in a very cheerful mood, as 1,251 providers
from 45 countries presented visitors from
more than 160 countries an enormous variety
of new products, technical innovations
and future trends. As a result, the photokina
offered the entire range of the global imaging
market once again in 2010. It thus remains
the only event throughout the world, which
presents image media, image technologies
and image markets so comprehensively and
in its entire variety to both professionals and
consumers. The imaging industry will come
together for the 32nd edition of the photokina
in the fair halls beside the Rhine on 18 to
23 September 2012.
The Business Forum Imaging Cologne, organised
by the photokina at the Convention
Centre North of the Koelnmesse on 1 and 2
March 2011, also
met with strong
interest. At this
convention, over
230 participants
from industry and
trade informed
themselves about
imaging trends of
the future and discussed
the future
ways of marketing
digital image products
and imaging
services with industry
experts. The next
Business Forum
Imaging Colgogne
will take place in
the spring of 2012.
