Full-service event technology and trade fair construction at the Ballhausforum Munich
Two days full of innovations, new products and international exchange: The Customer Exchange & Show (CES) 2026 from Columbus McKinnon The event brought together customers and partners from the lifting and conveying technology sector at the Ballhausforum of INFINITY Munich. The focus was on current developments, innovative technologies, and practical insights into the world of intelligent lifting and motion technology.
In close collaboration with the agency THE FAVORITES We were entrusted with the technical and structural implementation of the event. From initial planning and custom trade fair and decoration construction to event technology and show support, LiveTec accompanied the entire project.
The particular challenge: Within a large event hall, two independent areas were to be created that are both functionally and visually separated from each other, yet still form a coherent overall concept.

Two event areas – one well-thought-out overall concept
The particular challenge of this production lay in dividing the Ballhausforum into two clearly separate areas of use.
Using custom-designed truss structures and curtain systems, we created a spatial separation between the exhibition area and the central stage. While the exhibition area offered space for product presentations, personal discussions, and professional exchange, keynote speeches and silent presentations took place in the separate stage area.
The concept enabled different event formats within a single location. This required the coordination of exhibition stand construction, stage construction, lighting technology, audio technology, and media technology from the outset.
