A ‘Match and Meet’ service matches up Ligna exhibitors and trade visitors in a targeted fashion via the Internet.

Trade visitors first create a personal profile at www.ligna.de, specifying the kinds of products they are interested in. They then automatically receive lists of matches, complete with contact details, so that they can contact and arrange meetings with potential business partners.

Visitors to this year’s Ligna can also take advantage of the new Ligna2go mobile trade fair guide. The guide makes all the key Ligna website functions available to smartphone users. With Ligna2go, trade fair visitors can use their mobile phones to locate exhibitors, products, and events and to create their own personal schedules.

Ligna2go also offers an interactive map of the exhibition grounds complete with navigation directions. The guide can be downloaded free of charge at www.ligna2go.de or the Apple App Store.
