GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen Gmbh is the company responsible for bringing Opti to the big stage. The international trade fair is held early in the year. In particular, it is hosted in January, thus allowing Opti to set the tone and the trends for the upcoming year. Editions usually last for three days. What is interesting about Opti is that it travels each year. In the past, it has been in Stuttgart, Munich, and other major German cities. The doors are open to trade visitors only. Working hours are as follows—10:00 am / 19:00 pm on Friday, 09:00 am / 19:00 pm on Saturday, 09:00 am / 17:00 pm on Sunday. When it comes to commuting, you are in luck. Messe Munich is an ideal location to be reached easily by car and public transportation. The best way to commute is to ride the U2 line of the metro. Several suburban train lines also service the exhibition grounds.
