Control 2017
Record participation and increase in space
More exhibitors than ever before, a 10% increase in exhibition space and a new hall layout: the conditions for the 31st edition of the Control trade fair for quality assurance are excellent.
More than 939 exhibitors from over 30 nations will occupy the entire 52,500 m² of gross exhibition space in Halls 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. According to organizer P.E. Schall, Control is and remains the world's most important information and business platform for all aspects of industrial quality assurance.
New hall layout
The new hall layout of Control is characterized by the new construction of Hall 10 and the conversion and new construction of the West Entrance area. According to the organizer, this has created the opportunity to design Control in a 'block-like' way and thus as a compact trade fair: "By moving into Halls 3, 5 and 7 on one side of the hall and Halls 4 and 6 on the other, the start of the trade fair day has become more even for trade visitors arriving in the morning and for exhibitors, as the streams of visitors from the two entrances East and West are now distributed more evenly across all halls." Parallel to the conversions and extensions, the access and parking infrastructure of Landesmesse Stuttgart was optimized.
Further measures to support trade visitors, such as the mobile website m.control-messe.de (direct access to the mobile website for smartphones and tablets), the online tool 'My trade fair day' for planning and the option for trade visitors to register in advance via the Internet, should provide the basis for a successful visit to the trade fair.
In addition to the exhibits - components, assemblies, subsystems and complete solutions for quality assurance - Control offers a broad program of supporting events and lectures as well as presentations in the Exhibitor Forum.
