Two days, a packed programme, and an audience that produces content professionally itself. At dmexco speed decides everything: post next week and you have missed the moment. We deliver while the show is still running.

At two days, dmexco is the most compact of the major NRW shows. Whatever you do not capture on day one is hard to recover on day two, because the stage programme runs in parallel and your people are in back-to-back meetings.
So for dmexco we fix the shot list unusually tightly. Concretely: half an hour before opening for stand photography, then a block across the middle of the day for atmosphere and conversations, plus fixed slots for your team's stage appearances — based on the official conference schedule, which we need from you in advance.
If someone from your team speaks on a dmexco stage, that is the most valuable content of the entire show. A good photograph from the talk plus a 30-second subtitled clip regularly generates more LinkedIn reach than the whole stand.
We photograph stage appearances from several positions — wide with the set and audience, medium with the presentation visible, and tight frames usable as portraits. A second camera records video in parallel, from which we cut short vertical excerpts.
Important: we need your stage times at least a week in advance so the slots can be locked in.
dmexco is the one show where your audience knows exactly what good content looks like. Generic exhibition photography with a blurred background and staged handshakes stands out here — for the wrong reasons.
So we deliberately work closer to an editorial visual language: real situations, natural movement, minimal staging. And we deliver formats your social team can use directly — vertical, with room for text overlays, at resolutions that need no reworking.
Everything runs in English if you prefer — briefing, direction on the stand and around the stage, and delivery. We bring our own cameras, lighting and audio, so nothing needs arranging locally.
Invoicing comes from a German GmbH with a VAT ID, so EU-registered businesses are billed under reverse charge with no German VAT added.
Your speaker from several positions, plus video capture and subtitled vertical excerpts.
Clean overviews before opening and lively pictures during peak hours.
A first edited selection the same day — at a two-day show this is not optional, it is decisive.
9:16 clips with subtitles, ready to use on LinkedIn and Instagram.
Real situations rather than staged poses — suited to an audience that spots the difference.
Consistent portraits of your show team, captured between meetings.
Your trade fair content should be ready while the attention is still there. We shoot the moments that matter, edit fast, and hand over finished photos and video the same day — depending on schedule, scope and the package you book.
Fixed prices, defined deliverables, predictable turnaround. All prices exclude VAT and include travel within North Rhine-Westphalia.
Tell us the date, venue, stand size and what the images are for. You normally get a fixed-price quote within 24 hours, with no hidden line items.
We arrive with our own equipment, work discreetly around your stand, and never interrupt a conversation or a demo. Shot list agreed in advance.
Edited photos and cut video via a private download link — same day on selected packages.
From €990 excluding VAT for three hours. For a two-day show with a stage programme we recommend at least the combined photo and video package from €1,950, or a full day from €3,490.
