Hannover. The ticket shop for LIGNA, the world's leading trade fair for the woodworking and wood processing industry, which takes place in Hannover from 15 to 19 May, is now open. Interested parties can purchase tickets for the event via the webshop. You can choose between day or full-event tickets (39€/56€), reduced tickets (up to 15€) and a full-event combination ticket (76€), which also entitles you to take part in a Guided Tour. In addition, visitors who have been invited with a ticket code can register and activate their LIGNA ticket via the ticket shop.

The prompt release of the LIGNA ticket shop this year is also due to the difficult visa situation in some visitor countries. The organizers, Deutsche Messe AG and VDMA Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen, are hoping that early ticket purchase and appropriate planning time will facilitate visa approval. The LIGNA team will be happy to assist visitors who need an official letter of invitation for their visa application.

Networking: meet tailor-made contacts
After the regular registration of tickets or exhibitor passes, networking will be available to all LIGNA participants from March. After logging in to the LIGNA website, visitors and exhibitors can activate this service via their personal dashboard. In the profile, availability and individual time slots can be set and imported into their own calendar. Participants can complete their own profile with pictures, contact details and business interests. To receive new business matches, participants also activate their visibility for matchmaking via the profile. After activation, visitors and exhibitors will be suggested suitable profiles based on their stated interests and have the option of searching for potential business matches using keywords. In this way, participants can get in touch with each other in the run-up to the event, arrange appointments during the show and prepare their visit or exhibition at LIGNA in the best possible way.

LIGNA & Interzum: One ticket, double trade show experience
This year visitors to LIGNA will once again benefit from the fact that their ticket purchase also includes access to Interzum (9-12.5.2023) in Cologne. So visitors to LIGNA can also use their LIGNA ticket to visit Interzum, the event for the furniture manufacturing and interior design industries - and vice versa. This gives visitors an all-round overview of the industry.
