I'm not positive how I stumbled across "Travel to Fairs Limited", but I'm so glad I did. A simple request for traveling advice turned into a fantastic planning experience. My first point of contact (Via telephone) was from Ms. Ellie Stone. From that point forward I worked solely with her. My plans were extremely complex and Ellie was there for me the entire time. Flying from the United States, traveling to four separate cites in three European countries seemed daunting. After a few questions and some conversation, Ellie was able to give me multiple hotel options in each city. Ms. Stone even divided each hotel by their amenities. (Included breakfast/bars/public transport etc.) In addition to her thorough help with hotel accommodations, Ellie also booked three (3) separate flights for me. Germany to Denmark to Poland. For each city/destination, Ellie offered no fewer than 3 options for accommodations. Same for my flight options. Each destination had three choices. Different airlines and different departure times so I could manage my travel easily. The communication between Ellie and myself was excellent. With the time change between us, emails worked perfectly. Ellie was very attentive to my needs and responded to my questions/inquiries quickly. On more than a few occasions, when I called her office, she took the time to answer me right away. I would love to extend my gratitude and genuine "thanks" to Ellie. Dare I say... she made this experience fun. 5 STARS !!! Her company should be grateful to have her working there.
About the event
Update
Automatica will be held once again in 2025 between 24-27.06.2025. The trade show has changed its event schedule and will henceforth occur in parallel with the LASER World of PHOTONICS. The trade expositions will be held as live events. The hosting location for the events will be Messe Munich in Germany. The country currently does not have national, or travel restrictions related to Covid-19. Attendees, therefore, will not be required to adhere to safety measures such as presenting 3G entry documents.
Calling Card
Held in the heart of robotics and automation, in Munich, Germany, Automatica is the go-to exhibition for professionals, researchers, and decision-makers in automation. The trade exposition has been a pioneer since its inception. Every two years, it brings new developments in mechanisation, robotics, and artificial intelligence at Messe Munich. Automatica creates ample opportunities for universities to showcase their research and for students to get involved professionally early on. It is the best place for startups to find financing and for buyers to scope the market and form long-lasting business contacts. Exhibitors benefit from high-level exposure and access to valuable markets from around the world.
Business Potential
It is safe to say that Automatica is for companies in the big league. Some of the names that you will see at an edition include VITRONIC, ABB Robotics, Siemens, KUKA AG, connyun, Watson IoT among others. The product portfolio is one of a kind with control system engineering, computer software, cloud engineering, supply applications, machine vision, smart factory solutions, industrialised mechanisation, and service robotics. With so many services, solutions and technologies available, Automatica attracts diverse industry, science, and policymaking representatives. Universities send their own researchers and brightest minds to breathe fresh air. CEOs and higher-ups from major industries such as automotive, chemistry, IT, metalworking, rubber, food and beverage, and aviation are all at the exhibition.
Did You Know?
The mission of Automatica is to create new opportunities for up-and-comers and discover where automation can go. The Start-up Arena holds such a central space during the exhibition. Last time, 23 young entrepreneurs showcased their portfolios and met their supporters. Additional programming events include the Makeathon, Integration Islands and the Escape Game. There, students can demonstrate their skills and make valuable connections. The industry is met with a real shortage of skilled workers and this is where new blood can enter the field. Another highlight is the special exhibition “People in the Smart Factory”, whose main goal is to give a tactile and real taste of how factory work will change over time. Also, be sure to keep an eye on the munich_i high-tech summit for all the latest AI and robotics research and applications.

Hello Jack,
The trip was great and the fair was very interesting.
When it comes to the hotel, the rooms were nice and clean and the staff was very polite. It happens that all the rooms we got were family rooms with 4 beds each. So regarding our last minute request for an extra room or bed for 1 person, there was plenty of space to accommodate. I don't know where the communication with the hotel went wrong and they didn't tell you that there was enough room for one extra person.
Regardless, everything else was good.
ANUGA 2023
The 2 night booking was misplaced by the hotel, so after 30 mins checking our vouchers we were forced to rebook for one night at reception and pay again. We then booked another hotel for our second night. Very poor hotel, very cold, decor very much in need of repair. Breakfast ok.
Because of the mixup, Go Fair refunded us in full and dealt with us quickly and professionally. Definately service 'above and beyond' Very happy to recommend Go fair and use them again.
HI Christine,
I have just returned from my trip as I went to London after the fair. The hotel was great. Really close to the fair and easy to get to each day by walking.
We did really struggle to get taxis each night during the fair from the hotel to the city centre as there were no restaurants around the hotel. The hotel restaurant was good but expensive and you didn’t want to eat there each time.
Kind regards,
Jackie

Good day Tom,
Yes, we have checked out of the H4 Hotel Hannover Messe and we have already successfully returned home! Now there is a lot of work to do with the contact we gained during LIGNA.
As for the hotel, everything was great! Rooms were very clean, beds were soft! We really liked the pool and sauna which was available for the guests - it was a great relaxation after a long day at the exhibition! The only minor issue we ran into was during the check-in. For some reason our bookings was marked as to stay in rooms with one double bed. Thankfully upon our arrival the hotel was not full and employees of the hotel were quick to resolve the mishap with the beds!
Thank You for the great service and we will for sure keep in touch for LIGNA 2021!
Dear Tom
Everything went very well with the hotel in Nuremberg. Many thanks again for your support.
We would be happy to book a hotel through you again next year.

With kind regards,
Niamh
Excellent service from the team. I would highly recommend their services
Very fast and efficient service!
Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful. its nice to see smily faces when you start your day and when you return tired. The only thing that i can tell is the issue with the breakfast that while each time after i sent your email the issue was taking care the next day existed again. there was no update between personel and system.
Dear Brian,
Thank you very much for your help in finding this nice hotel. It was in a great position near to the fair and to all the facilities and the rooms were cozy and comfortable. It has been the perfect solution for our purposes.
