I work for a German company and I just found out I will be in Heidelberg for most of the month of April. It's a fairly short drive (About 2 hrs) to Basel, so I thought I would visit on the 5th or 6th.

Can I go to the show and can I just dress casually (jeans/Polo shirt)?

I'm not in the watch industry and I may never get this chance again, so I'd like to take advantage of it if I can.

Yes you may. Casual dress is acceptable.
There is one stipulation. You must take Eric, aka Knight Watchman, with you

If they'll let you, take pictures--lots of pictures.

I would be too overwhelmed to attend the show.hmy:
Good luck to you.:thumbup:

 

[misfitx]

You can only go as long as you take me with you!

Thanks for the information. I know the dress code question sounded strange, but every picture I see of the show everyone is dressed in a suit. I know most are reps or somehow connected with the industry, but I didn't want to get there and look odd because I was in jeans, etc.

I will definitely go no matter what. I'm looking forward to it as it may be the only time I have the chance to go. I can only go for one day, so I'll have to be organized so that I can see the things that are most important to me.

For more planning info, check out www.baselworld.com. You can get planning information there. Looks like prices are 45 CHF (~$40USD). I believe the hall layouts are there to to help you plan the attack.. :thumbup1: Have fun! Wish I was going this year... :crying:

I'm jealous. As others have said, you can't take enough pictures to post and show us. Also, it might pay to print a backpack to get all the booth premiums and handouts.

Thanks for mentioning about the backpack. I probably will have to bring one. the catalogs and what-have-yous are probably going to weight tons on my little shoulders.

Chauffeurs anyone? LOL. Kidding. :T

Do companies hand out marketing promotions as well while they are there?
