When and where does SPIEL Essen 2026 take place?
It takes place on 22 – 25 October 2026 at Messe Essen in MESSE ESSEN GmbH, Germany. Frequency: Annual.
How large is the event?
The latest figures list 215.7k+ Visitors, 970+ Exhibitors. The SPIEL Essen 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List are built from these participants.
Which companies exhibit at the show?
Exhibitors include broadcast and media technology vendors, satellite operators, content and service providers from the Entertainment & Media sector.
Who visits the show?
Visitors include broadcasters, operators, production companies and technology leaders.
Can I buy exhibitor and attendee data together?
Yes. Both lists can be ordered separately or as one dataset.
Can I narrow the list to specific roles?
Yes. Records can be filtered by job function, seniority, industry, company size and country.
Will the complete list be available after the event?
Yes. The full list is prepared the day after the event ends (22 – 25 October 2026).
How can I use the SPIEL Essen 2026 Attendees List?
Sales teams use it to book meetings before the doors open, marketing teams build invitation and follow-up campaigns, and account managers check which existing customers are planning to attend. Records can be grouped by role and company size so each team works only with the contacts that matter to it.
How is the data delivered?
Lists are delivered as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) that can be imported into common CRM and marketing tools. Each record keeps the company, the contact, the role and the link to the event, so segments can be rebuilt at any time.
When should I start outreach?
Most teams start four to six weeks before the opening day, when buyers are planning their visit and agendas are still open. A second wave during the show and a follow-up in the week after it usually bring the best response.
How recent is this event data?
Last updated October 7, 2026.
Why are event contacts more responsive than a general industry list?
An event audience is self-selected: companies that exhibit or send staff are investing in the Entertainment & Media market, which makes these contacts more responsive than a generic industry list.
