After the first few days of the fair, boot Düsseldorf presents itself as a satisfied event. There is an enthusiastic mood in the 16 exhibition halls, despite the current economic challenges. Exhibitors report successful talks

"I am particularly pleased with the high level of satisfaction among the companies that are back on board after taking a break in 2023. The hands-on activities and exciting stage programmes are also real crowd-pullers," says an enthusiastic Petros Michelidakis, CEO of the trade fair. This is also reflected in the first weekend of the trade fair: on Saturday (20 January) and Sunday (21 January), almost 55,000 visitors flocked to the exhibition halls to discover the innovations and new products from the yacht and water sports industry.

Exchange and business at boot Düsseldorf

boot Düsseldorf is regarded as a globally important dialogue platform for industry professionals to make contacts, exchange ideas and do business. This is confirmed by Robert Marx, exhibitor spokesman and trade fair president of boot Düsseldorf: "boot has once again succeeded in attracting the right visitors to Düsseldorf. They have purchasing power, expertise and a high level of interest."

Sustainability in demand in the industry

Sustainability concepts for new drives, alternative fuels and materials for environmentally friendly boat building are particularly in demand, according to the press. The "blue innovation dock" sustainability forum is proving to be the best information platform for these topics.

The 55th boot Düsseldorf with over 1,500 exhibitors from 67 countries is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until next Sunday (28 January). Online tickets are available for 21 euros and 19 euros for boot.club, caravan.club and ADAC members. Tickets cost 29 euros on site at the ticket offices. Until Friday, boot 2024 invites you to visit in the afternoon at a favourable price, when tickets for the period from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. cost just 12 euros.
