very attractive product portfolio, established and new exhibitors, innovations and an outstanding
programme. With all these features, the BOE will once again prove its important role as the trade fair
platform of the event industry.”
The BOE-Forum in 2014 will include the topics Brand Management, Innovations and Media &
Technologies. Thus, the event director and show producer Chris Cuhls, who supports event agencies
and companies in the implementation of live communication concepts, will be identifying the success
factors for successful events. Lukas Rössler, Fosbury e.U. will be dealing with the question of how
new events and brand staging options can be established through the use of New Media technologies.
Another highlight in the BOE-Forum 2014 certainly is the talk of Cristián Gálvez who will take

context of the BOE. Themed “Creating Digital Ideas“, renowned speakers will be discussing the
opportunities and successes provided by digital communication and pick up on pressing issues such
as: Which techniques are now pointing the way and what are the trends of tomorrow? An answer to
these questions will be given by Thomas de Buhr of Google with his lecture “Brand Communication
in the Digital World“. Christoph Keese of Axel Springer AG has recently returned from a six-month
research stay at the international trend hotbed Silicon Valley. He knows that “The future of digital
communication already is in full swing.” Other speakers will show with concrete practical examples
what is already possible today, which potentials especially lie in the event area and which legal
regulations must be observed.
