➡️ Hall plan
Please order (additional) furniture by 22 September 2026 directly via the order form of our stand construction partner Andreas Messerli AG (if not already ordered at the time of booking).

At the Company Catwalk, the participating companies introduce themselves to the students for 1 minute. Score points with a creative introduction to the visitors and give them an exciting starting point for subsequent discussions. The aim is to stand out from other exhibitors and increase the quantity and quality of visitors to the stand.
Examples of a convincing presentation:
- Emphasise USPs: What makes your company unique?
- Share corporate culture: Show values, way of working, team spirit
- Contribute personal experiences: Success stories or inspiring anecdotes
- Explain your field of activity: What your team works on and why it is exciting
What to avoid:
- Only emphasise benefits: Good salary, lots of holidays, etc.
- Remain impersonal: unapproachable presentation
- Stay too abstract: Avoid empty phrases without tangible examples
Participation in the Company Catwalk is not obligatory, but requires prior booking for logistical reasons. If you have booked the Company Catwalk but do not wish to take part, please inform us in good time.
