In 2011, the event attracted 28,000 visitors from around the world to see 700 exhibitors from 35 countries.

The 1st NO DIG BERLIN will take place parallel with WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL 2013. In 2011 the organisers were already able to bring the International NO DIG to Berlin. NO DIG BERLIN is a continuation of the trade fair and congress for trenchless construction technology in a new format. NO DIG BERLIN has already received significant international support from associations and organisations in 15 member countries. In a move that reflects the importance of NO DIG BERLIN the North American Society for Trenchless Technologies (NASTT) has pledged its support.

PennWell's global water and waste group includes four leading publications, digital and international conferences, including WaterWorld Middle East and VirtualH2O.
PennWell and Messe Berlin will work together in the 12 months leading up toWASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL, taking place on April 23-26, 2013.
Timm Dower, group publisher, PennWell's water division, said: "Pennwell has been quickly growing its coverage of the global water sector including digital media and Wasser Berlin is also developing at a fast pace, so it makes strategic sense for the two organisations to work together.
"Digital media is an important part of PennWell's future and the water sector is fully embracing it. Our publishing and digital media expertise, not to mention knowledge of the global water market, means we will be able to provide the digital media coverage WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL fully deserves. We look forward to the partnership and close collaboration with Messe Berlin for the foreseeable future."
Cornelia Wolff von der Sahl, project director WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL, said: "We have selected PennWell as our official Video Services Provider for WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL 2013 to add a contemporary component to our event. We hope to increase the communication and the dynamic within the trade show in addition to strengthening the bond between the trade show and the congress.
"In 2013, we expect to increase our international appeal, not only for our visitors but also our exhibitors. We would also like to transform WASSER BERLIN INTERNATIONAL 2013 into a platform for innovation and exchange of ideas in order to spark new impulses within the water industry."
