New concept for exhibit area at Localization World Berlin
We are always looking for ways to improve Localization World (LW). To that end, we have
developed a new concept for the exhibit area that will be put into effect with LW Berlin 2008.
Our goal is to produce a cohesive, aesthetically pleasing exhibit area that functions as the
“main street” or “central square” of the conference, an area to which attendees naturally
gravitate and where business flourishes.
To achieve this, we are distinguishing among three types of exhibits and have designed
a layout with pre-assigned areas for each exhibit type.
The three exhibit types are:
Pop-up displays: Space-efficient displays designed for quick setup and inexpensive transport.
Display units must be 2-3 meters wide and at least 2 meters tall to qualify for this type of
exhibit space.
Octanorm: Ready-built booths with three walls and ceiling and fixtures supplied by the official
exhibit company for an additional fee. This is ideal for exhibitors who want to travel light or
don’t want to invest in their own displays.
Custom booths: Professionally designed trade show exhibits, typically owned by the vendor
and used from show to show.
If there is a question concerning exhibit type, the exhibit coordinator of Localization World
reserves the right to make the final decision.
The application process to reserve an exhibit space for LW Berlin 2008 consists now of the
following steps:
1. Choose an exhibit type.
2. Select an exhibit space in the area(s) reserved for that exhibit type. Metal Sponsors will
have first choice, according to exhibit type and timing of sponsorship. (For information on
becoming a platinum, gold, silver or bronze sponsor and other sponsorship opportunities such as dinner, conference bags and notepads, e-mail [email protected])
3. Receive confirmation from Localization World for your selected space or receive
information about alternatives.
In order to make things easier and clearer, we have split the exhibitor information into two
documents, this Exhibit Brochure and the Exhibit Application Form.
Exhibit Application Form
An application form designed to provide the information needed to set you up as an exhibitor:

Exhibit Open House
In the afternoon of the first exhibit day (10 June 2008), we will extend the regular break to a
45-minute Exhibit Open House with food and refreshments. This event will be listed in the
conference program and promoted at the conference. The aim is to attract as many attendees
as possible into the exhibit hall.
Value-added Tax (VAT)
Germany recently changed the law regarding the collection of VAT for exhibits, conference
admissions and sponsorships. In the past, we were not permitted to collect VAT. Instead, we
had to tell our clients that VAT was due and that it had to be paid by them to the appropriate
German authorities.
Now, we are required to collect VAT from you and forward it to the German Finanzamt (Internal/Inland Revenue). This means that starting with LW Berlin 2008, we will add 19% VAT to
the net amount of the services you order from us.
Depending on where your company is headquartered, you may be eligible for a full refund of
the VAT you paid.
German companies will automatically receive a credit after they file their VAT (Umsatzsteuer)
forms at the end of the month or quarter. If your company operates a subsidiary in Germany,
you might want us to invoice them directly since they can reclaim VAT so easily.
European Union-based companies are eligible for a full refund once their VAT payments in
Germany reach a certain level. This, however, requires filing a refund request and can involve a
wait period of several months.
All other countries fall into two categories:
Category one includes countries that have a tax agreement with Germany that allows companies based in these countries to file for a refund. To see if your country is included, visit
http://www.vat-refund-services.de/en/overview/countrylist/index.html
Category two includes countries that don’t have such an agreement. Companies in those
countries don’t have a way to reclaim VAT.
Important:
The good news for those of you who qualify for a refund is that all VAT you pay in Germany in
connection with your conference/exhibit participation is eligible for a VAT refund. Even if you
add a business trip to see clients to your itinerary (sorry, not vacation-related expenses), all VAT
on hotels, airline tickets, restaurants, phone calls, car rental and so on can be reclaimed.
In Germany, VAT is typically included in the price posted. For example, a hotel room that is
listed at €150 already includes a €24 VAT, which can be reclaimed. The same holds true for
other travel expenses.
Innovating
New in 2008
It is, however, a requirement that the invoice/receipts that are being submitted in connection
with a VAT refund request are made out to the company that is applying for the refund.
The VAT on a car rental receipt issued to an individual cannot be reclaimed by his or her
company.
Those of you eligible for a refund might want to work with VAT Refund Services, a German
company that specializes in helping international companies reclaim VAT. They specialize in
trade show and conference-related expenses and charge a minimum flat fee of €99, or a
recovery fee of 15% of the refunded VAT for amounts that exceed the minimum fee.
Localization World has no commission or other agreement with VAT Refund Services and
assumes no responsibility should you choose to work with them. We did, however, review the
company and as a result can recommend its services.

Official exhibit company
For LW Berlin 2008 we are pleased to be working again with Funke Design GmbH who
provided excellent service for the two Localization Worlds held in Bonn. Our relationship
with Funke Design is a non-exclusive one, which means that you are free to hire another
exhibit supplier to design, build and install your booth. To make the setup at the conference
as smooth as possible, your exhibit company needs to coordinate the setup with Funke
Design. See page 10 for contact information.

Ballroom/exhibit room
About our Venue
Lobby
Bedroom
Once we made the decision to return to Berlin for the 2008 European Localization World, we
set out to find a venue that would allow us to better integrate the conference and the exhibit.
We chose the Maritim proArte because it has a ballroom large enough to accommodate all
booths. What makes it even more attractive is the fact that the walls between the ballroom
and the foyer can be removed, thereby providing easy access to the attendees as they
traverse among the three session rooms and the exhibits.
The ballroom has large windows to the outside, flooding it with natural light. Two catering
areas in the rear of the exhibit hall and a diagonal layout should provide a steady flow of the
attendees into the exhibit area.
The Maritim proArte served as one of two elite hotels that catered to high government
officials and visiting dignitaries during the German Democratic Republic period (aka East
Germany). It then operated under the name Metropol. It is situated in central Berlin a few
blocks from the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the river Spree, and down the street
from the former Checkpoint Charlie, just to mention a few landmarks.
After the Berlin Wall came down, the hotel was acquired by the West-German Maritim chain
of business and conference hotels and renovated at considerable expense. It sports a modern
style with lots of light wood and chrome. Works of original modern art – some quite large – are
used throughout the hotel.
This is a historic hotel, with modern features to make for a pleasant conference experience.
The guest rooms are nicely appointed, and the rate we negotiated for our attendees includes
breakfast.
