This year, 185,000 people came through the gates during the five-day show (183,000 in 2006), which was spread out over five halls, including a "business centre" only open to industry staff and journalists. There were 503 exhibitors (last year saw 374), and 12,300 trade visitors (from 8,700 last year), and 3,300 journalists from 46 countries (last year 2,610 from 38 countries). The percentage of non-Germans participating rose to 43 percent, a massive leap from last year, where only 24 percent were nonnative.
