The Networking is designed for individuals. To participate as a company, representatives must be assigned so they can be identified as exhibitor contacts.

Contact persons go through a short registration process and become visible as official representatives. They can send and receive connection requests and engage with potential customers.

During registration, participants define their interests, create a profile description, and activate their presence. Afterwards, they gain full access to Networking features.

Each contact person requires their own Messe Frankfurt user account.

When contacts are nominated, they automatically receive an email notification to activate their profile, as well as a reminder if this has not been done after approximately two weeks.

Currently, contact lists are not exportable. This feature is planned for future implementation.
