Augsburger Schwabenhallen Messe- und Veranstaltungsgesellschaft mbH and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH are new members of AUMA - Association of the German Trade Fair Industry. The AUMA Board of Directors approved the admission at its most recent meeting in Hanover in December.

Around 65 events take place every year, of which more than half are trade fairs and a quarter are aimed at end consumers. The exhibition grounds comprise seven halls with around 48,000 square metres and an outdoor area of 10,000 square metres.
Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe GmbH & Co KG operates three event centres in Germany's southernmost city. In addition to the exhibition centre itself, these include the concert hall and the historic department stores'. Messe Freiburg offers four exhibition halls covering over 21,500 square metres as well as an outdoor area of 80,000 square metres.

Both nationally and internationally, it represents the interests of all large and medium-sized trade fair companies in Germany, international organisers in Germany and the associations representing exhibitors, service companies and visitors.
