Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at Com Building usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Day 14-12: Confirm the current Combau opening days and hours on combau.messedornbirn.at, since the February window varies by edition, and note which halls are in use.
Day 14-12: Decide your project list before you go - heating replacement, windows, roof or bathroom - so you can compare like-for-like quotes from Dornbirn exhibitors.
Day 12-10: Check whether pre-registration is needed for fast entry and download your badge if the organiser offers online ticketing.
Day 10-8: Book accommodation early; February is high season in Vorarlberg because of winter tourism, so Dornbirn and Lustenau hotels fill quickly.
Day 10-8: Plan arrival - ÖBB train to Dornbirn Bahnhof then Stadtbus to Messeplatz/Messequartier, or drive and use the Messe Dornbirn car park.
Day 8-6: Build a shortlist of exhibitors from the online exhibitor directory and note stand numbers for the products you actually need.
Day 6-4: Collect documents to bring: building plans, photos, existing Energieausweis or heating data, and any planning permission notes.
Day 4-2: Check the weather forecast for the Alpine Rhine valley and allow extra time for snow or ice on road and rail links.
Day 2-1: Charge your phone for lead capture and photos, pack business cards if you are a trade visitor, and download the hall plan.
Wear comfortable shoes for the halls, keep a folder for catalogues, and agree follow-up dates with suppliers before you leave the fairground.
