Dismantling

The Frankfurt Book Fair ends at 5.30 p.m. on Sunday, 18 October 2009, and until that time, all stands must remain occupied. The breakdown of stands, packing up of exhibit items and the delivery of packing materials is not permitted before 5.30 p.m. and any contravention is subject to a penalty.

As soon as the fair is over and all visitors have left the exhibition site, the gangway carpets will be removed simultaneously from all halls – please keep the gangways clear for this! The roller gates will not be opened until this has been done, after which packing materials can be delivered to the stands. Within your stand itself, you can of course begin to pack up as from 5.30 p.m., but please make sure that you do not block the gangways in any way. Please make sure to hand over all rented equipment as well as boxes personally to the service contractor or forwarding agent that you employ for collection - we specifically draw your attention to the increased risk of theft during breakdown!

Breakdown times

Sunday, 18 October 2009 app. 6 p.m. until Monday, 19 October midnight (non-stop)

The exhibition halls are open throughout the entire night from Sunday to Monday as well as on Monday through to midnight. Exit from the exhibition site is possible through all gates at any time. Complete clearance and cleaning of all system stand modules as well as the breakdown of exhibitors’ own stand structures must be completed by midnight on Monday, 19 October at the latest. The bench cabinets in system stand modules should be cleared of all contents by Sunday evening, but certainly by the next day Monday morning at the latest – as from noon they will be emptied by cleaning staff and all remaining contents will be removed.

Extended breakdown through to Tuesday, 20 October, is possible for custom-built stands exceeding 40 sqm in size, provided this has been officially requested and approved by the fair organisers.
