Connect 2023" trade fair to be held in Zurich-Oerlikon in the fall
New date, new location: The twelfth edition of the ICT trade and B2B fair "Connect", hosted by Brack.ch Business and wholesaler Alltron, will take place on September 22 in Hall 550 in Zurich-Oerlikon.
Today, "Connect" is probably the largest ICT trade fair in Switzerland for trade visitors. It evolved from the Competec in-house exhibition, which had been held for many years at the logistics center of the trading group in Willisau, Lucerne, since the third edition. Last year, after a two-year break due to the pandemic, "Connect" attracted more than 1,800 visitors to Willisau over two days.
No more space in Willisau
Due to the space requirements of the trade volumes handled in Willisau and the extension currently under construction, it will no longer be possible to hold the trade fair in the trading group's logistics center this year - or in the years to come. The new venue, Hall 550 in Oerlikon, has excellent transport links. "We are pleased to have found an attractive alternative to the logistics center that is easy to reach for everyone and optimally equipped for our purposes. As a result, we hope to welcome even more trade visitors than last year," says Simon Thoma, Head of Marketing at Competec.
New venue, proven concept
Visitors to the B2B trade fair can discover products and solutions from the information and communications technology sector at sustainably produced, modern exhibition stands and deepen their topic-specific knowledge by attending presentations. The exhibition area is expected to be similar in size to the last one in Willisau. In addition to an extensive supporting program with specialist presentations, keynote speeches and an evening event, "Connect" offers ideal opportunities for professional exchange and networking between manufacturers, customers and employees of the Competec Group. The target audience is made up of Alltron reseller partners and Brack.ch business end customers interested in modern working, cloud solutions, data center, networking, professional AV, security, market trends and product innovations. Currently, preparations are in full swing. Exhibitors, sponsors and supporting program will be announced in the summer. Logistics - always a crowd puller in Willisau - will also be given space to present itself.
"Connect" focuses on sustainability
The "Connect" exhibition stands are made by hand from Willisau wood elements. The wood comes from sustainably managed forests and is PEFC certified. All recessed lamps are based on economical LED technology. In addition, the exhibition carpet is made of recyclable material. The exhibition stand can be conveniently stored after the event and used again the following year. After last year's premiere, this year is the first time such stands are recycled.
