A fair with a world name, a daily business with experts

Internationally, the Basel exhibition grounds are known above all for Art Basel. For the companies of the region, what counts is the everyday business next to it: trade formats, corporate appearances and booth programmes that are about clients rather than art. Whoever exhibits here rarely shows something that explains itself. Laboratory technology, diagnostics, dental technology, packaging and logistics solutions need someone who makes the benefit tangible in two sentences. For the booth, Jasmin plans short, repeatable programme slots: a demonstration, a talk with the in-house expert, a clear invitation to step closer. Passing visitors stop, and guests with appointments get a frame that respects their time.

When the product cannot go on a public floor

In Basel's biggest industry, not everything new belongs at a fair. Regulated products and processes are shown to invited guests instead. That is why in-house shows, client days and technology days in a company's own rooms, in the Markthalle or in the Volkshaus Basel are a strong format of their own here. Jasmin hosts both worlds. In the briefing she agrees with product management and sales which messages should stick, what runs live and who takes over when interest should turn into an appointment. That she keeps full programme days on schedule is shown by the Bosch Power Tools Innovation Day, a corporate reference with six product launches in a single day.

One booth, three countries

The expert audience at the Rhine knee is trinational. Visitors and booth teams come from Switzerland, from Baden and from Alsace, joined by international guests of the industry. In research and development, English is the working language, so single slots or the whole programme run in English to a plan. For morning calls Jasmin arrives the day before, with a fixed technical check on the floor. What hosting adds to a booth in measurable terms is explained in what trade fair hosting delivers. The format is described in the trade fair hosting hub, and all assignments in the city are bundled on the Basel city page.

Frequently asked questions

Does she host booth programmes on the Basel exhibition grounds?
Yes, at trade and public formats alike. The booth programme is tailored to visitor flows, booth size and the goal of the appearance, and runs several times a day.
Which works better: a booth or an in-house show?
That depends on the goal. The booth brings new audiences, the in-house show brings depth with invited guests. Jasmin hosts both formats and advises on the dramaturgy in the briefing.
Does a booth programme work for visitors from three countries?
Yes. The programme runs in standard German, with single slots in English. The switch is agreed in advance and announced clearly at the booth, so nobody drops out.
How does she prepare a product demonstration?
The briefing defines what runs live, where a recording steps in and which three messages should remain. On the fair day itself, a short check at the booth is enough.
Does she arrive on the event day or the day before?
For morning calls the day before, with a technical check in the evening. Basel sits right on the German border, so even short-notice assignments are often feasible.
Do the offer and the invoice come from Switzerland?
No, both come from Germany. The offer names a fixed fee, with travel costs to Basel as a separate item. The details are settled in the briefing.
