AVMS at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025 - Technology meets literature

When the world of books gathers in Frankfurt once a year to celebrate stories, ideas and innovations, one thing is certain: without AVMS, it would be pretty quiet, dark and offline. In 2025, the AVMS GmbH team was once again in full force – and not just with cables, trusses and LED spotlights, but with heart, brain and humor. A big thank you to the organizers of the book fair and the stand construction company imb Troschke for the trust they have placed in us over the years and the wonderful cooperation at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025. It is a pleasure and an honor for us to be part of this cultural highlight – where stories come to life and technology creates the framework for inspiration. Together, we created spaces that not only functioned, but also inspired. Thank you for the stage – we played it with passion.

Clear the stage for the technical heroes - professional support for the 11 presentation stages.

A total of eleven official stages at the Frankfurt Book Fair were equipped by AVMS – with everything an event could wish for: rigging, lighting, audio and streaming technology. While authors, publishers and presenters prepared for their appearances, AVMS ensured that every word was heard, every face seen and every emotion captured.

Some stages even broadcast their program live to the world – and who was in the control room? AVMS, of course. The post-production? Also AVMS. When it comes to professional media work, the team is not just a service provider, but a creative co-creator.

In addition, numerous exhibition stands of all sizes were once again equipped with technology. From individual monitors to large LED walls.

The Frankfurt Book Fair 2025 was a complete success – not least thanks to AVMS GmbH. With a team that not only understands technology, but also people, a trade fair became an experience. And while the books tell the stories, AVMS ensures that you can hear, see and feel them.

Between tangled cables and the smell of coffee - our everyday life unplugged at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025

Jennifer & Laura – the good souls of technology

Customer inquiries? Special requests? Spontaneous changes? No problem for Jennifer and Laura. With an open ear and a cool head, they made sure that equipment and service were in the right place at the right time. Whether it was a microphone for the reading or a monitor for the panel discussion – they had everything under control. And if something was missing, they organized it before anyone could say “book fair”.

Alex – the planner with the technology compass

Anyone who thinks that technology is simply set up has not yet met Alex. With his precise eye for processes, requirements and schedules, he planned the majority of the projects – from the first cable to the last truss. His motto: “When it’s running, nobody notices how much work is behind it.” And it worked. Smoothly. Almost suspiciously well.

Brondt – the coordinator with an overview

Eleven stages, dozens of technicians, hundreds of devices – and one man who keeps track of everything: Brondt. He coordinated the use of technicians during set-up and ensured that each stage was manned by the right team at the right time. A bit like a conductor, only with a radio instead of a baton.

Steven – the warehouse brain with empties genius

When the last applause has died away, the real show begins for Steven: the dismantling. With stoic calm and logistical mastery, he directed technicians and helpers across the huge exhibition grounds. Equipment was collected from around 90 trade fair stands – and thanks to Steven’s pre-sorting during packing, the return to the warehouse went faster than a bestseller over the counter.

Logistics with literary volume

By the evening of the dismantling, six 7.5-ton trucks, two 3.5-ton trucks and a 12-ton truck with trailer were already rolling back to Sulzbach. The loads? A poem of trusses, loudspeakers, LED spotlights and cables. And because AVMS is not only fast, but also thorough, two more 7.5-ton trucks and another 12-ton trailer were loaded and unloaded on the following days.

Technology meets timing

What AVMS achieves at the book fair is not only technical precision, but also organizational master class. The combination of planning, communication and experience ensures that even the most complex projects run like a well-written screenplay – with suspense, structure and a happy ending.

A team like an ensemble from a novel

What would a novel be without its characters? And what would AVMS be without its team? Every single one of them – from project management to the warehouse – helps to ensure that events like the book fair not only work, but also inspire. With passion, professionalism and a pinch of humor.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2024

Frankfurter Buchmesse 2024 with further growth for technology service providers with technology HUB

This year, AVMS set up an impressive 15 lecture stages at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2024, ensured accurate pre-planning of the lectures, their recording and, in some cases, live broadcasting. In addition, around 180 exhibition stands were supplied with technology. Once again, well over 200 monitors and dozens of audio systems were installed in the exhibition halls and outdoor areas.

Professional support for the 15 presentation stages and the Pavilion during the entire duration of the trade fair.

Frankfurter Buchmesse 2023 is celebrating its 76th edition this year. Italy will be Guest of Honor and present its literature and culture under the motto “Rooted in the Future”. The Book Fair Pavilion was also back on the Agora in front of Hall 3.

This mammoth project, which takes place over five days in October, involves six months of preparation and planning, full of calculations, arrangements and fine-tuning. Our planning leads to implementation by a total of 80 employees who work on site and in the warehouse to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

For the second time, our technology HUB trade fair container was used on P3, where technology could still be rented during the trade fair or colleagues were available to answer questions.

We received high praise from the organizers for our consistently convincing service. That is why we have rightly continued to be the official service provider of the Frankfurt Book Fair for 26 years.

Stages at Open Air Festival

Stages at open air festival provide party atmosphere

AVMS technology sets the mood at the Trebur Open Air Festival

Situated on the edge of the beautiful village of Trebur, the Trebur Open Air Festival, since 1993 as one of the meanwhile biggest non-profit festivals in the heart of the Rhine-Main area, is very popular. The selection of musicians at the Trebur Open Air is just as varied as the surroundings. In the end, they all want to come back again, because we think they have fallen in love with this colourful festival at the open-air swimming pool.

Every year about 200 volunteers come to Trebur and in the sweat of their brow to put this festival on its feet – just like that, out of passion and fun. With three stages, the festival in the tranquil town of Trebur is already one of the medium-sized events of its kind.

The AVMS has also been contributing to the success of such a spectacle since 2010. Perfect technology, set up and dismantled in no time at all. Great sound and great light effects make such a festival an unforgettable experience.
