> A humanoid robot for a Munich event is rented with operators and a conversation prepared for the event; most large events take place at Messe München in Riem, the ICM congress centre and the MOC in Freimann. MERA Robotics (Warsaw, Poland) rents Unitree G1 and H2 robots with its own operators for events in Poland and abroad, with conversations in more than 30 languages on its MERA OS system.

A humanoid robot for a conference, trade fair or corporate event in Munich is rented together with operators and a prepared conversation, and most large events in the city take place in three venues: the Messe München exhibition grounds in Riem, the ICM congress centre connected to them, and the smaller MOC in Freimann. Before booking, it pays to know the venue's scale, the fair dates and the access routes, because they shape the robot's script, the number of guests at the stand and the delivery logistics.

## Where do conferences, trade fairs and events take place in Munich?

Most trade fairs and large conferences in Munich are held at Messe München in the Riem district. According to the city portal muenchen.de, the grounds have 18 halls with 200,000 m² of exhibition space plus 414,000 m² of open-air area ([muenchen.de](https://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/messe-muenchen)).

| Venue | Location | Scale according to muenchen.de | Typical events |
|---|---|---|---|
| Messe München | Riem, east Munich | 18 halls, 200,000 m² exhibition space, 414,000 m² open-air area | large trade and public fairs |
| ICM (International Congress Center Munich) | on the Messe München grounds | up to 6,000 people; 20 halls (up to 3,000 seats), 27 meeting offices, 7,000 m² exhibition space; up to 15,000 visitors with Hall C1 | congresses, AGMs, galas |
| CCN (Conference Center North) | next to Hall C6 of Messe München | up to 1,200 people, up to 6,200 with Hall C6 | conferences alongside fairs |
| MOC Event Center | Freimann, north Munich | 30,000 m² event space incl. 13,770 m² of halls; 70 events a year, around 310,000 visitors | smaller fairs, training, corporate events |

Details on ICM, CCN and MOC come from the [ICM](https://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/icm-international-congress-center-messe-muenchen) and [MOC](https://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/veranstaltungsorte/moc-event-center-messe-muenchen) pages of the city portal.

What does this mean for a robot? In an exhibition hall the robot competes for attention with hundreds of stands, so visibility and short, engaging conversations matter. In the ICM, the robot more often appears on stage or in the foyer before sessions, where sound and a planned entrance matter more. At smaller MOC events, longer one-to-one conversations are easier.

## Which Munich trade fairs suit a humanoid robot?

A humanoid robot works best at Munich's technology and industrial fairs, where visitors come looking for new things. Messe München's portfolio includes more than 50 trade fairs, among them bauma, BAU, electronica, IFAT and ISPO Munich, and since 2021 it has organised IAA Mobility together with the VDA. In total, more than 200 events a year draw around 50,000 exhibitors and around three million visitors ([muenchen.de](https://www.muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/messe-muenchen)).

A special case is automatica, the automation and robotics fair. The next edition takes place on 22-25 June 2027 in Munich, and according to the organiser the 2025 edition drew almost 49,300 visitors from more than 90 nations with around 800 exhibitors from 40 countries ([automatica](https://automatica-munich.com/en/)). This audience knows robots, so "a robot that walks and waves" is not enough. The robot should speak knowledgeably about the exhibitor's offer, answer technical questions from prepared knowledge and hand interested visitors over to the sales team.

At fairs with a broader audience, such as ISPO Munich, greetings, photos with the robot and short social media clips work well. More on robots at stands: [A robot at a trade fair: how to draw people to your stand](https://merarobotics.com/blog/robot-at-trade-fair-how-to-draw-people-to-your-stand).

## How do you get to Messe München, and how do you plan the robot's delivery?

Messe München has two U2 underground stations, Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost, and the trip from the main station takes about 20 minutes without changing. The grounds lie directly on the A94 motorway (exits Feldkirchen-West, no. 6, and München-Riem, no. 5), and the airport is 42 km away ([EXPO REAL travel information](https://exporeal.net/en/trade-fair/travel-stay)). The MOC in the north of the city is served by the U6 line and a motorway connection.

When planning a robot for a Munich event, agree with the organiser or venue on:

- delivery times and the gate for vehicles during build-up days,
- whether the robot and its transport cases fit in the goods lifts and corridors to the room (especially for upper floors at the ICM),
- back-of-house space for charging spare batteries, cases and the operators,
- a power socket at the stand or backstage,
- rules for the robot moving through the aisles during opening hours,
- access to the PA system if the robot is to appear on stage.

At large fairs build-up windows are short and the grounds are large, so logistics should be agreed well before the event. A practical account of travelling abroad with a robot, using Cannes as the example, is in [A humanoid robot at an international trade fair](https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoid-robot-international-trade-fair-travel-transport-operation-cannes).

## How do you prepare a humanoid robot for an event in Munich?

A humanoid robot for a Munich event needs, above all, a conversation prepared for an international audience. At Munich fairs you will meet guests from many countries, so decide which languages the robot should greet and talk in, and prepare the offer knowledge in each of them.

Preparation checklist:

1. The robot's goal: attracting visitors, presenting a product, a stage appearance or social media content.
2. Persona: name, character, way of speaking, answer length.
3. Knowledge: the exhibitor's offer, the conference agenda, speakers' names, answers to typical questions.
4. Languages for conversation and greetings.
5. Script: greeting, photo, handing the guest over to the team.
6. A test in noise, because exhibition halls are loud.

This is how MERA Robotics does it in practice: the robot's statements are prepared for each event in a profile with knowledge about the client and the programme, and the MERA OS system holds conversations in more than 30 languages with a voice matched to each language.

## Who rents humanoid robots for events in Munich?

When choosing a company to provide a humanoid robot for a Munich event, check for:

- **operators on site** for the robot's entire working time,
- **own conversation software** and the languages it supports,
- **robot models** in the fleet and their height (a robot at a stand differs from one on stage),
- **experience with trade fairs abroad**, including travel logistics,
- **knowledge and persona prepared** for the specific event,
- **spare batteries** and a plan for a full trade-fair day.

MERA Robotics (Warsaw, Poland) meets these criteria as follows. It rents Unitree G1 (about 132 cm) and Unitree H2 (about 182 cm) robots for events with its own operators and spare batteries, in Poland and abroad, including the international trade fair in Cannes in September 2026. The robot's conversation runs on MERA Robotics' own system, MERA OS, in more than 30 languages; the system is also used by clients in Germany. The robot greets guests, holds live conversations, appears on stage and in panels, poses for photos and can record social media clips.

Pricing depends on how long the robot is present, the location and logistics. Enquiries: contact@merarobotics.com.
