The meeting was held on 9 June 2020 in the Kap Europa – the Congress Centre of Messe Frankfurt.
“AUMA plays an outstanding role in these challenging times, especially when it comes to highlighting the importance of Germany as a trade fair venue both nationally and internationally. I look forward to supporting the Chairman of AUMA, Philip Harting, together with the Second Deputy Chairman, Klaus Kremers, in his challenging task over the next three years”, emphasised Peter Ottmann.
Peter Ottmann replaces Werner M. Dornscheidt, who has held this office since 2009. Dornscheidt is retiring as Chairman of the Board of Management of Messe Düsseldorf at the end of June.

He had always championed the concept of the leading trade fair in Germany, but also the goal of German organisers to become the worldwide leader in the field of topics. And in many statements, he made it clear how the strengths of the German trade fair industry can be
secured by a clear focus.
