FAQs on proof of eligibility for trade visitors

Admission to IWA & OutdoorClassics is restricted exclusively to trade visitors. Children and young people under 18 years of age are not admitted to the exhibition. This is the only way we can ensure the event’s competence as the world’s leading exhibition, the quality of the products and services offered and the success of your visit.
Your eligibility as a trade visitor must therefore be proved when purchasing your entrance ticket.
