Each U.S. exhibitor has been designated a U.S. Commercial Service point of contact who will be reaching out to you in the coming weeks.  This person will be available before and during the show to help make this event as successful as possible for you.  In the meantime, please visit our site linked above, and if you have any questions, you can email us at hannovermesse@trade.gov
