Comprehensive CeBit 2002 Guide

 


Purpose:  This guide is supposed to serve as a supplement for those who didn't have the chance to go to CeBIT 2002 in Germany and would like to know a little bit more about the Convention.  For those of you who would like to see information on the exhibits feel free to see the links at the end of the guide.

Introduction:

     CeBIT is the world's largest IT and telecom trade fair.  Traditionally it has been held in Hannover, Germany since its independent inception on the 12th of March, 1986.  Before 1986 CeBIT had existed as part of the "office equipment industry" exhibitor group and didn't have a formal name.  

For more information on CeBIT's history:

     CeBIT is such a large event that it is housed at the convention center and exhibition hall in Hannover which is organized by the Deutsche Messe AG. To appreciate the location more I suggest you look at images from their 270° panorama webcam.

This is what you would see flying over DMAG Hannover where CeBIT is held.  Please download the full sized picture here so you can pretend that you're in a plane. ;)  
Now that we've landed at Hannover Airport it's time to check in at our accomodations.
