Booth layouts, services, and equipment
There are two general types of booth layouts, Booth and Display, while Displays are reserved for not-for-profit organizations only:
- A standard Booth (small, medium, or large; booth numbers 01–62 and G07–G22) consists of aluminium sections with white melanin-coated panels and one spotlight with 100 W per 3 sqm (Booth scheme). The front panel consists of an aluminium frame containing a white melanin-coated panel with the booth number, exhibitor's name, and logo (fascia board). As individual layouts of this fascia board are possible based on the exhibitor's CI, we encourage exhibitors to select this option in the online booking form and provide a respective layout design to our partner company Expoxx. The fascia board with a 4C-print (CMYK) is included in the booth rental. Furniture is not included in the booth rental and must be ordered separately at Expoxx.
- A Display (booth numbers G01–G06) consists of 1 poster board, 1 table, and 2 chairs. These Displays are reserved for not-for-profit organizations only.
- All booths provide grey carpeting and single-phase earthed 220 V electricity with 2 kW including one plug of 220 V. Power plug converters for different socket types are not provided and the power supply as described is only provided once per exhibitor (regardless of the number of rented booths)
- All booths provide a wired internet connection with 1 Mbps included in the booth rental. Higher bandwidth connections can be ordered separately from our partner company H82. Please note that you will receive a dynamic IP address for the internet connection. However, if you require a static IP address, please contact us by email.
- The rental includes cleaning and waste disposal on the set-up day (Sunday, 17 April 2016). However, cleaning and waste disposal during the conference week must be ordered separately from our partner company Expoxx.
- For any further technical equipment, additional furniture, catering, and other services please see the supplier manuals.
