Vertical Pro in Friedrichshafen is the central trade fair platform for everyone who works at height – whether for professional reasons or in a sporting environment. As a unique event in Europe, it brings together industrial climbers, height workers, height rescuers, rope access technicians, as well as sport climbers, route builders, and trainers in a common setting. The concept of the trade fair thus combines two previously separate worlds that are increasingly overlapping: occupational safety on the one hand, and the sport climbing and outdoor industry on the other. The exhibition focuses on modern equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), climbing technology, training systems, and industry-specific services and software solutions. Vertical Pro offers companies, organizations, and training centers the opportunity to present their latest products and concepts to a qualified professional audience – in a practical, dialogue-oriented, and interdisciplinary manner.
A special feature of Vertical Pro is its strong practical relevance. In several indoor test areas and specially equipped climbing areas, visitors can not only see products, but also try them out directly under realistic conditions. Whether new rope safety systems, helmets, harnesses, or anchoring techniques – the focus at the trade fair is on direct experience. Live demonstrations of rescue operations, fall scenarios, or rope access techniques make the challenges of working at height tangible. These practical formats not only give visitors a deeper insight into the reality of operations, but also build confidence in new safety solutions and technological developments.
Accompanying the exhibition, Vertical Pro offers a wide-ranging conference and workshop program. Specialist presentations, discussion panels, and training formats provide insights into current topics such as standards and regulations, new testing procedures, digital documentation solutions, and training concepts for height workers and climbing instructors. Experts from business, research, and practice share their knowledge, promoting cross-industry dialogue. Formats such as the “Science + Research Hub” and the “Startup Area” will focus specifically on innovations. In addition, the “Women at Height” forum will provide important impetus for greater visibility and networking among women in safety-related height professions. The trade fair thus positions itself not only as a product and technology show, but also as a platform for forward-looking discussions on training, diversity, and sustainable development in the height industry.
