Restaurant AKKC by MEST is responsible for all food and beverage sales within AKKC. Exhibitors are not allowed to sell food or beverages from their stands unless their core business is food and beverage sales.

If you’d like to offer small treats to visitors at your stand, Restaurant AKKC by MEST provides a wide selection of snacks and drinks available for pre-order. If you have specific requests beyond the standard options, they are happy to accommodate special wishes.

Catering for stand personnel

Samples for visitors
You are allowed to bring and distribute samples, such as candy, chocolate, cookies, nuts, chips, or other specialties.

However, as an exhibitor, you are responsible for complying with Danish food regulations. Pre-prepared food must be stored in a refrigerator; if refrigeration is not possible, it must be discarded after three hours. Additionally, it is your responsibility to ensure proper waste disposal.

Serving beverages
You may serve beverages, including juices and barista-prepared drinks, at your stand, provided that biodegradable serving materials are used. Each serving must not exceed 2.0 dl. You must also comply with hygiene regulations and ensure proper waste disposal.

If you wish to serve beer, spirits, wine, or other alcoholic beverages, this is only permitted by prior agreement with Restaurant AKKC by MEST, which holds the liquor license for the entire exhibition area.

In case of theft, please inform the organizer and report it to your own insurance company. Fortunately, theft is extremely rare.

Beware of scammers

Several companies are contacting exhibitors with offers for advertising in online exhibition guides or the purchase of attendee lists. These messages are often sent via email or letter and may appear official.

Important to know:

  • AKKC has no cooperation with these companies and has not shared any contact details or attendee lists.
  • They often operate with hidden costs and unclear contract terms.
  • Some exhibitors have unknowingly signed contracts and were later charged significant amounts – up to DKK 20,000 over three years – for services with little or no real value.
  • These companies often continue to send reminders for years, but we have never seen them follow up in person.

Our advice: Ignore these offers, sign nothing – and contact us if in doubt. You can find our contact information here.

Please note, however, that you may be legitimately contacted, in accordance with the general exhibitor terms, by DanFish’s official partners. For the upcoming 2025 exhibition, these are: Blue Water Shipping, Compass Fairs, Restaurant AKKC by MEST, FiskeriTidende, and BilletExpressen.
