Welcoming visitors from more than 100 countries, the “International Visitors' Lounge” plays an important networking role at EuroTier. Located on Stand A30 in Hall 26, facilities in the lounge includes coffee and drinks that will be welcomed by EuroTier visitors.
“The lounge, which has been an important international meeting point at EuroTier for more than a decade now, is probably the most international location at the fair,” says Nathalie Joest, manager of the International Visitors' Lounge. “With some 40,000 visitors from outside Germany attending in 2016, it shows EuroTier, with its wide range of animal production solutions, is able to attract farming experts from even the most distant locations.”
Individual visitors, as well as delegations, from other countries gather in the lounge, making it a unique meeting point. It has a 100-seat area where visitors can have a coffee, as well as meet people from other cultures. The DLG visitor team will be on hand to not only welcome visitors, but to answer questions concerning EuroTier and EnergyDecentral. They will also be happy to assist international visitors with any travel or accommodation issues or concerns. The team's long experience at EuroTier means it also has a large network in the farming community to assist in making business connections.
Two conference rooms are available to use, subject to prior reservation, for one-hour meetings. The lounge also contains information on the full range of DLG's farming activities, which include livestock machinery test reports and detailed information on topics of relevance to the livestock sector, such as automatic feeding systems for cattle and managing staff on dairy farms.
Farming experts from all over the world visit EuroTier, and the International Visitors' Lounge will include delegations from China, Japan to Brazil, Russia and Australia, among many more.
Adjacent to the International Visitors' Lounge, the DLG (German Agricultural Society) can be found on Stand B28. This farmers' association, with more than 27,000 members, is the organizer of EuroTier, and it also manages several livestock-related clubs including the European Poultry Club (EPC) and European Pig Producers (EPP). More information about these can be found at the DLG stand.
A church is available in the Information Center (IC) building, while a prayer room can be found in Hall 7, adjacent to the outside stairs.
Regardless of how long your visit to EuroTier will be, the International Visitors' Lounge is a useful central point to meet up with other guests and network, or simply to relax. The lounge will be open during show hours on all four days, so be sure to drop by and experience the informal and relaxed environment.
