It is organized by Deutsche Messe AG.
With an exhibition area of roughly 450,000 m² (5 million ft²) and up to 850,000 visitors at the apex of the dot-com boom, it is larger both in area and attendance than its Asian counterpart COMPUTEX and the no-longer held American equivalent COMDEX. CeBIT is a German language acronym for “Centrum für Büroautomation, Informationstechnologie undTelekommunikation”.
CeBIT was traditionally the computing part of the Hannover Messe. It was first established in 1970, with the opening of the Hannover fairground’s new Hall 1, the largest exhibition hall in the world at the time. However, in the 1980s the information technology and telecommunications part was straining the resources of the industry fair so much that it was given a separate trade show starting 1986, held four weeks earlier than the main Hannover Fair.
