Messen#

Trade Fairs, events organized like markets, offering a wide range of products or services of one or several economic sectors, usually held regularly and in the same place. According to the range offered, a distinction is made between universal, multiple and specialised fairs. Universal fairs are generally on the decline.

The most important fair organizing associations are in Dornbirn, Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Ried im Innkreis, Wels, Salzburg and Vienna. They have been forming the "FKM-Austria" society for the voluntary monitoring of fair data since January 1986.
