SPS 2023: Very High Rebooking Rate Among Exhibitors

2 Mar 2023

The exhibition for smart and digital automation is on course for success again. At the beginning of the year, over 700 exhibitors had already registered for the SPS 2023, which will be held in Nuremberg, Germany from 14 to 16 November 2023. The proportion of repeat bookings from last year's exhibitors is very high, as is the number of registrations from new exhibitors.

Numerous companies from all over the world have already registered for this year's automation highlight in the fall. Among them are international key players such as Bosch Rexroth, SICK, Phoenix Contact, Beckhoff Automation, WAGO, and Endress+Hauser, but also many small and medium-sized companies, start-ups, and specialists, who are looking to present their innovative automation solutions in Nuremberg. "After last year's successful restart, interest in the SPS has continued to grow and responses are already well above what they were the same time last year. We are also currently in contact with many more companies, which gives us an encouraging indication that the SPS is moving back towards pre-Covid levels," says Sylke Schulz-Metzner, Vice President SPS at Mesago Messe Frankfurt. In order to accommodate the requests and wishes of exhibitors, organizer Mesago Messe Frankfurt is again planning to fill two additional halls.

Companies interested in exhibiting at the SPS 2023 can benefit from the early-bird discount until 31.03.2023.

Planned Digital Accompaniment

As with last year's exhibition, the SPS team intends to offer an accompanying digital concept. "The digital accompaniment to the exhibition allows us to deliver additional benefits for all participants. Our take-away from last year was that specialist contributions and panel discussions on current topics from the exhibition forum in particular offered relevant added value for the exhibition visitors, live and on demand. Some participants also took advantage of the opportunity to network digitally with others from the SPS community. We definitely want to maintain this," sums up Martin Roschkowski, President of Mesago Messe Frankfurt.
