The venue and organisers will be checking for any items plugged in that are not tagged, an admin fee will be charged if we are required to test something already plugged in on your stand.

AISLES (as per our venue H&S policy)
The aisles between stands are legally required to be a certain width to maintain proper access to emergency exits, therefore it is imperative that exhibitors keep within their contracted space and do not encroach into the aisles or block doorways.

CAR PARKING

SATURDAY / SUNDAY
Due to limited parking near the venue and wanting to maximise spaces available for Consumers, we have organised 1x free carpark for you (must be pre-booked via your Exhibitor Requirements) in the nearby Wilson’s Carpark.
During Pack In you will be shown where to park on Saturday & Sunday.

Car Parking can be booked via the Exhibitor Requirements section, the red button above

DATA SCANNERS

Unfortunately, this isn’t a product we have.
– The main reason being is that we offer a lot of free tickets; these are physical printed tickets combined with online Eventbrite Tickets.
– Unlike other shows where the customer is purchasing the ticket, we don’t collect backend data to be able to use the scanners.
– If we were selling tickets it would be another story, sorry.

A lot of exhibitors make use of an iPad form system on their stand or utilise our Show Prize option where consumers enter their details to win a prize and we collect this data. If your Show Prize contribution is over $250 in value we provide you the database.

See the MARKETING OPTIONS tab for more information on the Show Prize.

FRIDGES

We can arrange a number of options delivered to your stand
– Single Glass Door normal Chiller/Fridge $180
