Exhibitors' Service

For all exhibitors that use their own lead retrieval systems, CPO HANSER SERVICE will provide access to participants’ data in real-time by using a web service via a protected internet connection. This page includes instructions for your IT Department to set up the data transfer and delivery of all access details.
Exhibitors will be able to receive the information by scanning the participants’ barcode on the name badge. The participants data can either be imported through your own application or you can use our excel template (see paragraph 3).
For further information and to apply for login data to our web service, please contact berlin@cpo-hanser.de
