Bidding farewell to the long-standing location of eroFame
It was the end of an era: On September 25 to 27, 2024, eroFame made its final appearance in Hanover. As had been announced a few months prior, the event is going to chart a new course, geographically and conceptually, and before moving to Amsterdam for the 2025 event, it was time to bid farewell to the city of Hanover and the Hanover fairgrounds that had served eroFame so well for so many years. For many, there was an air of wistfulness and sadness in the air when eroFame ended on September 27, bringing this chapter of the event’s history to a close.
The sentimental aspect notwithstanding, this was another successful instalment of the trade show, with lots of trade members flocking to the fairgrounds on all three days of eroFame; as the organisers announced shortly after the show had ended, the visitor numbers were on the same level as in previous years.
As expected, the list of exhibitors again read like a who is who of the industry, with renowned and relevant companies and brands from all over the world as well as newcomers to the industry. With such a high-calibre line-up, there was certainly no dearth of impressive products, quality services, and nifty solutions from all over the world.
Networking was once again a key element of eroFame, and the event provided ample opportunity for the participants to establish new contacts, share experiences, and gain a new perspective on the market and its trends (find more impressions here).
One of the biggest highlights of the 13th eroFame was the Oktoberfest party, which was as popular as ever, proving once again that the perfect marriage of business and pleasure does indeed exist. But this being the last eroFame in Hanover, this might also have been the last time we’ve heard the iconic phrase 'O'zapft is' (The beer is tapped).
And we are looking forward to a brilliant trade fair party under a new motto when eroFame 2025 welcomes to Amsterdam!
