NEW AND IMPROVED HALL PLAN FOR THE SPIEL
DEAR BOARD GAME FANS,
SPIEL Essen has grown steadily in the 40 years of its existence and has also continued to expand in the halls of Messe Essen. It has now been held in Halls 1 to 6 and in the gallery for many years. While the area and the number of exhibitors continued to grow, the clarity and orientation for the visitors became a little smaller. In which hall is this family game stand? Where were the booths with miniature games again? We want to structure this growing distribution of stands for the upcoming SPIEL Essen in a clearer and simpler way.
It’s no secret that we want to change the hall layout. We addressed the issue in various videos and posts and said that we want to improve orientation for everyone and help them find the stalls they are looking for faster. At the same time, we want to make it easier to discover new games. We had planned the major renovation for 2024. This year, Hall 6 was to be redesigned first to start the topic. Due to the conversion of one hall, however, it turned out that it made sense to tackle the entire hall concept now.
The new hall planning envisages that all halls will have thematic focuses and that the stands in the halls will primarily present the corresponding games. There will be a large area for simple to sophisticated family games, children’s games and easy to medium expert games. Another segment is aimed at tabletops, miniature games, role-playing games and trading card games. Finally, there are areas for connoisseur and expert games. We distribute the other stands, for example from dealers or suppliers of accessories, to the appropriate areas. Our goal is to create the best possible trade fair experience for everyone.
We don’t allocate the stands at whim. We talk to the exhibitors, look at their range and, as a team, are familiar with many games ourselves. With this combination of feedback and experience, we set up the halls in such a way that everyone at SPIEL Essen 23 feels comfortable, can find their way around and enjoy their favorite hobby.
We are working hard to finalize the plans. Please be patient, give us the time and trust so that everyone can have an excellent and unforgettable SPIEL Essen 23 at the end.
Warm and playful greetings,
Your SPIEL team
