Optimisation of the Date for Jagen und Fischen 2011

 
  • New date
  • For the first time held in C Halls
  • Unchanged duration
 
At the request of a great number of exhibitors, associations and visitors, the date for Jagen und Fischen is moved from spring to autumn. Many exhibitors found the initially scheduled date in the middle of April extremely late; Jagen und Fischen would have marked the end of the round of hunting exhibitions. This situation will change with the new date. Jagen und Fischen 2011 in Munich will then be the upbeat of the trade-fair season.

The 15th International Exhibition of Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor Life will now be held from 9th to 13th November 2011. There are plans to move the dates of the 2013 and 2015 events nearer to the beginning of the month of November.

In addition, Jagen und Fischen 2011 will move into the C Halls because there are more comfortable parking possibilities for the visitors. On the opposite side of the car park, the North Entrance is available to the visitors. Those who come by public transport can comfortably reach the North Entrance of the Munich Trade Fair Centre by using shuttle buses.
 
The exhibition’s duration remains unchanged. Traditionally, Jagen und Fischen lasts five days, starting on a Wednesday and ending on a Sunday.
 
The President of the Bavarian Hunting Organization (BJV), Prof. Jürgen Vocke, sees chances and advantages for the autumn date. On behalf of his organization, he expresses himself positively about the choice of the new fair date: “Besides the new date in November, the exhibition’s move into the C Halls has also many advantages for us. The parking spaces in front of the halls can be reached more easily, our partners in the passenger car area can present themselves better and, from my viewpoint, the entire entrance situation is more suitable for Jagen und Fischen than the area of the B Halls. In November 2011, Jagen und Fischen will open its gates at a new date with a new face. These are the best prerequisites for giving new impetus to the exhibition.

Alfons Blank, President of the Upper Bavarian Fishing Association, shows great confidence in the new date of Jagen und Fischen on behalf of the Bavarian fishermen: “The Upper Bavarian Fishing Association hopes that the new date will contribute to the attractiveness of the popular Jagen und Fischen exhibition in Munich. The new date in November accommodates the wishes of both the exhibitors and the visitors and allows for more efficient planning for the coming season.
 
From the viewpoint of the exhibition organizer, Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, Managing Director of Messe München, summarizes the reasons for the new date as follows: “Messe München has taken the wish for a new date for Jagen und Fischen very seriously because we do not only want to talk about customer orientation but to experience it. I am therefore all the more happy that we have been able to find a very suitable date in agreement with the Bavarian Hunting Organization and the Upper Bavarian Fishing Association. Since the majority of the visitors travels to Munich from the outskirts of the region and therefore mainly arrives by bus or car, the exhibition’s move into the C Hall represents a clear improvement thanks to the paved parking spaces located near the North Entrance.”
