    Criteria for being allocated a stand at Aarhus City Welcome

    It is the purpose of Aarhus City Welcome to make relevant information available for international professionals, accompanying partners, family, and students that will help them:

    • set up life in Aarhus and navigate Danish society
    • become part of lasting communities

    At Aarhus City Welcome the target group can find relevant information within the following categories: 

    • Public authorities
    • Networking and communities
    • Job search and work-life
    • Learning Danish
    • Volunteering
    • Culture, media and creativity
    • Sports and leisure
    • Children

    The City of Aarhus wishes to ensure that Aarhus City Welcome offers exhibitors in each category and in correspondence with the space available at Dokk1.

    We therefore reserve the right to either offer a stand or decline the application for a stand based on an assessment of the relevance of an exhibitor vis-a-vis the target group of Aarhus City Welcome and the purpose of Aarhus City Welcome.

    We are not able to provide a stand for:

    • Commercial businesses or other private companies such as banks, relocators, insurance companies, and others providing a commercial service. 
    • Political organisations/communities and religious communities.
