Shape the future of trade fairs We are proud of our Classic stand model in all its variations, as it is unrivalled in its functionality. But the demands placed on larger models (like Delta) are such that there often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough workspaces.

We see real optimisation potential here.

If enough people show interest, our design partner PENG! will host a workshop to find the right design for the larger stands.

Interested? Contact Cyrill Schmid, c.schmid@topsoft.ch

Option â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stand surface area in m2 Would you prefer to design your own Trade Fair stand? This option is now available, though with limitations on surface area and height.

delivering added value. Our many years of experience with business software in the industrial, commercial and service sectors means we can create synergies across these sectors.

A key factor behind the success of our consultancy services is neutrality when it comes to software providers. We do not profit in any way from a decision in Assess

With methodical, targeted steps we actively support users to help make their IT projects a success.
