Interested in exhibiting in the LonMark ISH booth? 

If you want to present your company in the booth, LonMark Germany offers you the opportunity to place your information on a logo column. Each column represents an application or task such as: room automation, HVAC, system integration, etc. Participating members will have a company presentation (logo/product picture) and can provide brochures, catalogues etc to be distributed to visitors. The personnel for the booth will be handled by TEMA and LonMark (Martin Mentzel).  Each company that participates should deliver a briefing to help address questions by visitors. If the company also has a larger main booth on the show floor, visitors will be guided to this booth. All visitor contact information will be collected at each column and companies participating in the column will receive the contact information for follow up.  The cost for this presentation per company is 1.500 EUR.
