More than 23,500 exhibitors present themselves annually on the 120,000 square meters of space. With its nine halls and large outdoor area, the Stuttgart trade fair center is the eighth largest in the Federal Republic. The draw: In 2018, more than 1.36 million visitors were counted. The range of trade fairs is varied and appeals to many different target groups, from CMT - the world’s largest public trade fair for tourism and leisure - to Comic Con and the Stuttgart Trade Fair Autumn. In 2007, the trade fair moved from Killesberg to the immediate vicinity of Stuttgart Airport. Visitors and exhibitors alike benefit from the good connections: The S-Bahn from the main train station takes less than half an hour, and the A81 and the B27 provide good connections for motorists.

A cinema, literature house and a varied range of restaurants are located in the immediate vicinity. A first-class hotel with 555 rooms is also located directly in the building.
