FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

EXHIBITORS

How do I get from Tanzania to Europe for the Roadshow events?

The KILIFAIR team is working in cooperation with Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s leading international airline, for best price options and easy traveling to the Roadshow events. If you join the group booking, ET assures a discount on your flight.

Do I need a VISA?
Yes, if you travel to Europe, you need a so called “Schengen Visa”. We are in contact with the German Embassy in Dar es Salaam to support the visa process.
How do I travel within Europe to the event cities?

All exhibitors travel as a group with a private luxury 5* bus between all event cities.

Are there any other events or activities planned?

Yes, exhibitors get the chance to participate in one or two “free of charge” workshops/seminars.
In addition, we offer optional social activities and sightseeing tours at separate costs.

Where can I find the floorplan to choose my table?

Due to the nature of the events, taking place in different hotel venues, we won’t be able to provide a layout plan. Tables will be given away on “first come – first served” base from 14:30 on each event day. Displays with your company name and logo will be provided. As all buyers rotate to each table, there is no “poor spot”.

Can I access a list of buyers in advance and make appointments with them?
We don’t provide a list of invited and registered buyers in advance because there is no need to make individual appointments with them. Our special rotation system during the event will ensure that every exhibitor meets every buyer. A detailed contact list of all attending buyers of each city will be sent to you right after each event.
