Who could organize an event like the Guitar Summit better than the most popular musician’s magazine? For now 40 years, Gitarre & Bass has been in constant contact with guitarists, bassists, manufacturers, musicians and distributors. This expertise has been applied to every aspect of the organization of the Guitar Summit – whether it’s the exhibition areas, the workshops or the live acts and artists.
All information for exhibitors is available here:
For people with limited mobility, the barrier-free entrance at the Rosengarten gate is available. If you are coming from the Rosengarten underground car park, please contact our service staff at the entrances.
If you require assistance or special help, please contact us at least 3 days before the event: service@mcon-mannheim.de
