Messe Luzern closes the business year successfully and with a new cooperation
Messe Luzern looks back on a year of high occupancy rates and positive financial results. At 99 events held at Messe Luzern, 332,000 visitors came together to network in person. And through a partnership with Olma Messen St. Gallen, Messe Luzern has embarked on a new path.
In the 2018/2019 financial year, Messe Luzern brought together, connected and networked 332,000 people in a wide variety of ways. The halls and forums were the venue for 99 trade and public exhibitions, customer and employee events, company anniversaries and general meetings, as well as congresses and concerts. Thanks to the high capacity utilization of the premises, a turnover of CHF 14.4 million was achieved.
"We are very satisfied with the result. Our events have proven their worth as analog meeting places. They were the place to maintain personal contact, share knowledge and discover new things," said Markus Lauber, Chief Executive Officer, in a press release.
Into the future with partnerships
Messe Luzern developed new event formats together with partners in the 2018/2019 financial year. For example, the Association of Swiss BIM Software Suppliers held the first Open BIM Forum. The forum combined information, inspiration and exchange thematically and in a new way.
The in-house exhibitions were also further developed and positioned in the digital age. One result of this is the cooperation with Olma Messen St. Gallen, which was established this financial year. The two trade fairs Suisse Tier and Tier&Technik will be expanded this fall with the digital meeting place Farming.plus.
