When planning your deliveries, please take into account the current traffic situation at the Funkturm motorway junction. Due to construction work, the route for heavy goods vehicles coming from the A115 has been changed. As a result, increased traffic volumes are to be expected.
Please allow additional travel time and consider this when booking loading zones for access to the exhibition grounds.
We recommend checking the website of the VIZ. There you will find a daily updated overview of the current traffic situation in Berlin, including information on roadworks, closures, and disruptions.
Parking:
Please note that the P12 truck park (Avus Nordkurve) is no longer available due to construction work. Alternative parking areas fpr trucks can be found at the Parforceheide service Station (A115) as well as on Heerstraße or in the Spandau industrial Park
Events can be held daily from 10 am - 6 pm with prior registration through the BECO web shop. Evening events between 6 pm - 10 pm are only allowed after approval. Please register your event by January 31 to be listed in the event database!
Additionally, please note the guidelines regarding the use of music at trade fairs and exhibitions (GEMA) and the distribution of alcohol.
