SHOWTECH 2011: New Lecture Forum to Complement Conference

A new lecture forum and new themes on the Safety Action Stage: one year before opening, SHOWTECH 2011, the International Trade Fair and Congress for Stage Technology, Equipment and Event Services, further enlarges its programme. The 15th edition of the trade fair will take place from 7 to 9 June 2011 in Berlin. One year before the start of SHOWTECH, 65 percent of the exhibition area have already been booked. A total of 350 international exhibitors are expected in the halls at the foot of the Berlin Television Tower.

Forum complements DTHG Congress

Once more, SHOWTECH will be accompanied by the conference of the Deutsche Theatertechnische Gesellschaft (DTHG), the institutional patron of the fair. For SHOWTECH 2011, DTHG has revised its seminar and conference concept. The core element will be the new DTHG Forum which will complement the conference programme. The lecture forum will be located right inside the exhibition halls and enable visitors to attend short lectures and discussions spontaneously. Themes will include best practice examples such as international projects for renovating stages and theatres.

For the first time, visitors will have the opportunity to propose topics for the conference programme. Proposals can be submitted in the SHOWTECH Forum on the DTHG homepage, as well as on the SHOWTECH Facebook page.
