Exhibitors and visitors in particular show lively interest in the subject of sustainability.
HMC provides a central meeting place for various industry flagship fairs.  

The following is a list of industry fairs, events for the general public, and guest events which are explicitly linked to sustainability and are moving into focus to meet the demand from exhibitors, visitors and their respective industries. Participatory engagement of stakeholders will help meet these expectations.  

Examples:

• INTERNORGA – Europe’s leading trade show for foodservice and hospitality: Urban farming, vegan food, soul food, green packaging, etc.
• WindEnergy Hamburg – The global on- and off-shore Event:
  Energy, environmental technology, recycling and waste disposal: Energy sector (including conventional and renewable energy), #climatefirst conference concept, electrification, energy storage and power-to-X solutions, safety, cyber security and digitalisation, public engagement, jobs and skills
• GET Nord – Trade Fair for Engineering, Sanitation, Heating and Air Conditioning
  (List of industry segments accessible online)
  Key terms: Building systems, electrical and sanitation, heating, renewable energy, lighting, VAC, refrigeration, pumps and drive systems, plumbing, tools and shop equipment, service providers
• oohh! Die FreizeitWelten (Guest event):
  Regional tourism, mobility transition (e-bikes, electric cars), Green Screen Tour (nature documentary)

Especially among organisers of guest events and congresses, the most frequently-voiced concern is sustainability management for their event. Since late 2020, HMC has published concise one-page online documents addressing key SDG implementation measures. Furthermore, the "Green Guidelines for Exhibitors To Ensure An Eco-Friendly Exhibition“ should also be mentioned in this context.
