Why Exhibit at Bar Convent Berlin 2026
Bar Convent Berlin is where the bar and beverage world gathers, three days that set the trends and the trade for the year.
- The whole bar and beverage trade in one place. Distillers, brewers, winemakers, distributors and buyers fill the halls, so the listings and deals that matter start here.
- A trend-setting floor. From craft spirits to the Low & No zone, BCB is where the next big categories get discovered.
- A buying and media audience. Bar owners, retailers, importers and press arrive from around 90 nations, so the right stand travels far beyond the show.
- A hall full of standout brands. Your stand sits beside the most characterful names in drinks, so design and storytelling decide who gets remembered.
- One accountable partner at Messe Berlin. As exhibition stand builders in Berlin, XDS handles design, build, logistics and on-site delivery, including the bar, tasting and serving setups a drinks show demands.

Our Process
Concept & Goals
We start with your brand, your audience and what you need Bar Convent Berlin to produce, trade meetings, tastings or new listings, and shape the concept around that goal.
3D Design & Approval
Detailed 3D renderings let you fine-tune every detail before production, and we handle the Messe Berlin technical submissions from the approved design.
Production & Installation
Your stand is built in our own facilities and installed by our own crew within the official build-up window, handed over ready before the halls open.
Event Support & Storage
We stay on site through all three show days, then dismantle. Modular stands can be stored and redeployed for your next exhibition.
