What most exhibitors get wrong at IAA MOBILITY
Three patterns we see in post-show debriefs — each one quietly burns 20–40% of a typical booth budget.
- Mistake 01Buying square footage instead of impact
A well-staffed 10x20 with a real demo outperforms a half-empty 20x20 every time.
- Mistake 02Ignoring drayage & show services
Services often add $4–9k on top of a booth quote — more in union cities. Budget line by line.
- Mistake 03No lead qualification flow
Badge scans are noise. Define one qualifying question and an agreed next step before the show.
What to know about IAA MOBILITY
IAA Mobility has shifted from a traditional car show to a dual-location mobility platform, splitting the experience between the B2B 'Summit' at the Messe München and the B2C 'Open Space' in Munich’s city center. Exhibitors must navigate a fragmented audience where high-level tech procurement happens at the fairgrounds while public brand engagement occurs several kilometers away in urban plazas.
The Summit audience is heavily weighted toward senior engineers and software procurement experts rather than traditional hardware buyers; ensure your booth staff can discuss API integration and autonomous systems.
Munich’s public squares are utilized for vehicle demos; if your goal is consumer feedback or brand awareness, you must secure a spot in the 'Open Space' rather than relying on hall traffic.
Expect a high volume of organized international delegations and government officials; prepare a 'high-level' briefing area for quick, private ministerial or executive walkthroughs.
Blue Lane transit corridors connect the venues; use these for active vehicle testing and logistics, but ensure your drivers are briefed on Munich's strict urban traffic regulations.
