The world's largest exhibition center "Hannover International Fairground" far beyond Big Sight and Makuhari Messe in CeBIT 2009

As a venue familiar when a huge event is held in Japan,Tokyo International Exhibition Center(Tokyo Big Sight) and in ChibaMakuhari MesseAlthough it is famous, it is still short of space in the event such as a comic market where it has become too large as a single event. Especially for the Comike venue listed earlier, the size is a big problem, and it is difficult to accommodate the participants who have so far swollen up to this point.

However, in Germany, as a venue of deck far far beyond Big Sight and Makuhari Messe, "Hannover International FairgroundThat's what I mean. This time, CeBIT which is the IT trade fair which has been held for 6 days indeed, as companies from all over the world gathered, the size of the venue was not necessarily half the size, but I realized how big the venue is Let's.

To the extent of reference, each total exhibition area becomes as follows.

·Tokyo Big Site:East 6 Hall / West 4 Hole TotalApproximately 80,000 square meters
· Makuhari Messe:Combine the 8 holesApproximately 54,000 square meters
· Hanover International Fairground:Together 27 holesApproximately 496,000 square meters

So, the various photos of the venue are from the following.
The Hanover International Fairground where CeBIT was held is only a place where the Expo 2000 was held, and the site is vast anyhow.


And the building is also great. For example, this building where the press room was located. Expo 2000 Due to diverting those at the time, design is also nice.




Among them was a huge building like the pavilion ruins which have not been used already.


There is an end to the east shop that covers the top of the hall.


When CeBIT is not held, usually like this


It will be like this at night.


When used in another event


Although it is possible to move on foot, the number of patrol buses running in the hall represents the size of the venue.


If it is an event other than CeBIT, for example, Intel bus seems to be running


It seems that expectation for the event was great as much as the size of the venue. At the opening of CeBIT 2000, Prime Minister Merkel of Germany and Arnold Schwarzenegger California Governor made a declaration of opening. Two people decorate the cover of "CeBIT NEWS" which was distributed at the venue, just like the "New York Times".


CeBIT 2009 closed on March 8. Approximately 4,300 companies exhibited and it was reported that the number of visitors exceeded 400,000. Next year will be held from March 2nd to 6th.
