Ligna.21: in full swing

The preparations for Ligna.21, from 27.9. to 1.10.2021 are in full swing. Despite the challenges posed by the “Covid-19” pandemic, seven months before its start, Ligna is looking at a positive registration level. “The early decision to move Ligna.21 to autumn was exactly right. In view of the current developments in the global infection situation in the wake of the “Covid-19” pandemic, this was the only logical measure to give all those involved planning security and the necessary time for preparations. Participation is therefore very positive. Almost 900 companies have already decided to show their on-site presence in the fair. We will again be occupying ten halls and the outdoor area,” says Christian Pfeiffer, Global Director Ligna & Woodworking Shows at Deutsche Messe, Hannover. “There will be plenty to experience and discover, especially with regards to the three focus topics of woodworking transformation, prefab building processes and green material processing.“

Digital packages add to the offering

Ligna has also added new virtual participation options to its offering for exhibitors with stand space. “This allows companies to present themselves both in the halls and on our LIGNA.digital platform on the internet. The additional digital visibility allows them to increase their reach and expand the opportunities for interaction with existing and new business partners,” says Pfeiffer.

The additional LIGNA digital packages also enable visitors who cannot be on site to participate virtually and experience the woodworking innovations at Ligna. Companies can choose between three digital packages with different services. Depending on the size of the package booked in the S, M and L formats, these include exhibitor presentations, various dialogue functions, live streaming or videos in the LIGNA product media library. For exhibitors with stand space in Hannover, the Digital Package S is included free of charge in the range of services.
