Safety at Gothenburg Book Fair 2024
Updated 2024-09-18
Gothenburg Book Fair is held at Svenska Mässan Gothia Towers, a venue that hosts a wide variety of events such as trade fairs, congresses, and conferences, as well as hotels and restaurants. The safety and security of our visitors, exhibitors, guests, and staff are always our top priority.
Extensive experience
We have extensive experience in high-level security work at our venue, with well-functioning procedures to manage various events and situations. We maintain a high level of preparedness, close cooperation with relevant authorities, and a proven track record of managing large events. Our security measures can be effectively scaled and adapted to suit different circumstances and needs.
Robust security management
At Gothenburg Book Fair, we implement comprehensive and robust security management annually, in collaboration with relevant authorities. Safety and security measures are planned and executed based on the current situation. We are well-versed in hosting high-profile and large public events, with experience in handling various incidents and situations that require different levels of security.
Screening (frisking) and bag checks
As in 2023, we will apply screening in terms of frisking and manual bag checks at the entrances to the Gothenburg Book Fair as part of our security measures. The frisking will be conducted by trained personnel in a respectful and professional manner; however, it may result in longer wait times at the entrance. We recommend that you arrive early and plan accordingly, especially if you wish to attend a specific event. To facilitate the process and minimize waiting times, we encourage you to bring only essential items and leave large bags at home.
ID checks for exhibitors and accredited press
As in 2023, we will apply enhanced ID checks for all exhibitors and accredited press. Please bring valid identification and be prepared to present it upon arrival.
Exhibitors will be required to show ID at one of our entrances during move-in/registration.
Accredited press will need to show ID at the Press Centre when picking up their press pass.
We warmly welcome you to the Gothenburg Book Fair 2024!
