SCAM Warning Attendee Lists Scam – we have noticed a lot more scammers approaching exhibitors over recent years offering to sell attendee/visitor lists to our events. This is a SCAM and we do not recommend engaging in any way. XPO Exhibitions do not on-sell our attendee data to any other party – therefore the Attendees List being offered is NOT legit. Other known scams include false accomodation sites. We recommend using known and recommeneded suppliers from our manual or checking with our team if you are being offered a product or service not listed in this manual.

4.2 Floor Plan The floor plan may change between the time of your booking and the staging of the event. The latest floor plan can be obtained by contacting the Operations Team or visiting your exhibitor dashboard. Please make sure you give the most updated plans to your contractors. 16

4. YOUR EXHIBITION STAND

4.3 Internal Measurement Due to the thickness of the panels (50mm approx) and the nature of how the stands are built, dimensions are not always exactly what they are in your contract. If you are planning to do a banner wrap inside your stand and require the exact internal dimensions, please email the Operations Team.

4.4 Panel Wall panels are 2.3m high and covered with a Velcro-compatible fabric. Velcro is the preferred method for attaching items to panels. Only the hook (rough) side is required and can be purchased from the Show Information Desk. Thumbtacks may also be used but must be removed at the conclusion of the event. Nails, screws, paint, permanent markers, or any other methods that may damage the panels are not permitted. Any damage may be charged to the exhibitor. Panels must not be moved or altered without prior approval from Exhibition Hire Services (EHS). Please avoid placing excessive pressure on panels, as this may create a safety risk. Additional panels for storage or display purposes can be ordered directly through EHS. PANEL ORDER FORM

4. YOUR EXHIBITION STAND 4.5 Carpet Grey 1m x 1m carpet tiles are included in your stand space unless otherwise requested. If you are installing a custom floor covering, we recommend laying it over the carpet tiles. When securing flooring, please use clear double-sided tape, as it is easy to remove and helps protect the venue floor. Alternative flooring options, including coloured roll carpet, are available through Exhibition Hire Services. Please refer to the Key Supplier Details on page 9 for contact information. If you wish to have the carpet removed from your stand, a labour charge of $2.50 + GST per sqm of stand space will apply. Carpet tiles extending into aisles or neighbouring stands cannot be removed. To arrange carpet removal, please contact Exhibition Hire Services.

4.6 Power and Lighting Your stand will include an allocation of power and lighting based on your stand size. Please check your contract to confirm the number of lights and power included. Additional power and/or lighting is available to order through Show Light & Power. Power and Lighting Order Form

4.7 Aisles All exhibitor staff, furniture, displays, signage, and equipment must remain within the boundaries of the contracted stand space and must not encroach into aisles. Exits, emergency equipment, and venue services (including power boxes located above stands) must remain accessible at all times. During pack-in and pack-out, aisles must be kept clear of materials and debris to allow safe access for forklifts, emergency vehicles, and contractors.

5. STAND DESIGN To make the most of your experience and trade at the show, we suggest creating a visually appealing and welcoming stand for visitors.

5.1 Design & Build A design and build stand is one that is designed and built by another company, that needs to be specially constructed and installed for the exhibition. If you plan to have a design and build stand please contact the Operations Manager with your plans for approval before production. For Design and Build supplier recommendations, please refer to page 9.

5.2 Height & Stand Structure The stand panel height is 2.3m. For structures exceeding this, you must discuss your plans with the Operations Manager as permission from neighboring stands is required. If permission is not obtained before the event, XPO Exhibitions may require adjustments to comply with the 2.3m height limit.

5.3 Signage Effective signage is crucial for ensuring your brand stands out in a crowded exhibition hall. It not only helps to capture the attention of our visitors, but guides them towards your stand. For signage supplier recommendations, please refer to page 11.

5.4 Materials, Fabric, Ceiling Canopies and Drapes Flammable materials are not permitted on site unless they’re fireproofed. Fabrics needing fireproofing include cottons, straw, hay, polystyrene, and crepe paper. Approved fabrics are wool cloth, sail cloth, dacron, mylar with dacron backing, nylon taffeta, polycarbonates, and thick panel plastic. Ceilings or canopies must be flame-proof (provide documentation) and have a valid fire extinguisher and smoke alarm. Approval from the Operations Manager is required. Drapes are only permitted on the outer exhibitor walls. 19

Note that heights and rigging requirements vary by hall, affecting pricing. Banners or signage must be at least 1m within your stand boundaries. Prior approval from the Operations Manager is required.
