Access to the fair
Admission to the fair is free for all visitors. However, registration in advance is necessary. Register here. Not signed up in advance? You can still visit the fair and register on the spot. We, however, strongly recommend advance registration to avoid queues at the entrance.
To get access to the fair you need your personal QR code. Make sure you have your registration form with your QR code ready (printed or on your smartphone) at the entrance of Hall 1.
There are no lockers nor a wardrobe. We therefore recommend leaving large backpacks and handbags at home.
Catering
During the fair drinks and sandwiches can be purchased in the catering area. Standing tables and chairs will be provided.
Visitor badge
A personalized visitor badge will be printed for you on-site!
The purpose of the visitor badge is to facilitate networking with attending organizations. Based on the colour of your badge, organizations can better assess why you are visiting the fair. As a visitor, you can share your data with the higher education institutions by means of a (QR) code on your badge, so that they can provide you with targeted information after the fair.
