We have a dedicated contact person for those with questions about visiting CTM Festival as a person with special needs. This person can provide information about venue accessibility, or programme details relating to volume, lighting effects (stroboscope), or any other condition that could affect sensitive individuals. Please contact us at accessibility[at]ctm-festival.de for more information.

The CTM exhibition opening (on Friday 24.1.) is traditionally very full, which may also present mobility problems for wheelchair users.
