This manual has been prepared by the Organiser to assist Exhibitors, and provides you with important
information on participation in the show. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. If you have any queries or problems
concerning your participation or should any question arise that is not covered by this manual, please contact the
Organiser without delay.
Conditions of exhibiting
Exhibitors are at all times responsible for the transportation, delivery, erection, maintenance, dismantling and
removal of their own exhibition materials. The security of individual stands and insurance of any property brought
into the exhibition, whether for display purposes or not, is at all times the responsibility of individual Exhibitors.
The Organiser’s decision on the suitability of any exhibit is final. No Exhibitor shall change or add to the products
and services to be displayed without the written consent of the Organiser. Any stand that, in the opinion of the
Organiser, is not suitable must be altered to comply with the Organiser’s requirements at the expense of the
Exhibitor. Any Exhibitor wishing to share their stand with anyone outside their own company must enter the name
of the sharing company on their application form and provide full details of sharing companies for the show. All
sharing companies are entitled to the same benefits as stand-holders - allocations of tickets and badges, entries
etc.
Exhibitors are responsible for the provision of adequate personnel for the manning of their stands and the
conduct of those personnel.
The Organiser will not be liable or responsible to Exhibitors or any other person in respect of any inaccuracy or
omission in the information contained in the Exhibitors' Manual. Nor will they be responsible or in any way
concerned with any contract or arrangement made by the Exhibitors with any person, firm or company who is
described as the official supplier of services, or whose services are recommended in the Exhibitors' Manual.
Exhibitors are responsible for fulfilling any requirements stated in the Exhibitors' Manual.
The Organiser reserve the right, in the event of unavoidable circumstances, to change the layout of the exhibition.
Exhibitors affected by any change will be notified. In the event of any dispute, the decision of the Organiser is
final.

If you have not already sent your freight, we suggest you do this as soon as possible. If your freight weighs
more than one ton, please inform the Organiser by return.
Build-up
The site will be open from 12:00 hrs until 20:00 hrs on Sunday, 11 May 2014. Please make sure that those
delivering your material have details of the exhibiting company's name and stand number. Contractors' lorries
must be removed from the site once unloaded. No work will be permitted outside these hours without the prior
permission of the Organiser. No goods are accepted before the set-up period.
All stands must be completed and decorated by 20:00 hrs on Sunday, 11 May 2014. It is IMPERATIVE that all
services, etc are ordered in advance with precise instructions. Bulky or heavy exhibits will be refused entry after
13:00 hrs on Sunday, 11 May 2014. Any Exhibitor needing to set up earlier must notify the organiser
immediately.
Exhibitors are reminded that the storage of packing cases or materials on the exhibition site is strictly prohibited.
Hall conditions
Stand dimensions
No stand fitting or display feature on shell scheme stands may exceed 4m high. Where Exhibitors have
common walls with other Exhibitors, these walls should be 2.5 m high to avoid discrepancies. Exhibitors are
encouraged to get in touch with their neighbours in any case where problems may arise. If it is necessary for
stands with common walls to differ from 2.5 m in height, the Exhibitors using the non-standard height will be
responsible for cladding and decoration, ensuring that the wall is finished to the satisfaction of the neighbouring
Exhibitor and the Organiser. If any Exhibitor has problems or queries regarding the height of their exhibit in
relation to the hall, please contact the Organiser immediately.
Stand boundaries
All exhibits must be kept within the boundaries of the stand at all times. No Exhibitor may obstruct the
gangways with exhibit material or allow material to protrude from the boundaries.
Drop wires
Any ceiling fittings that are required, such as hanging wires, should be requested from the Organiser, who will
determine the suitability of such fittings, arrange for the work to be carried out and charge the Exhibitor
accordingly. Note that only the Organiser’s contractors are allowed to install drop wires. NOTE: No items can
be hung from the ceiling in the Banquet Hall.
Damage to hall
Great care must be taken to avoid damage to any part of the hall or stand fittings. Any repairs for damage
occurring will be charged to the contractor/Exhibitor concerned.
EDS Exhibitors’ Manual 2014
Weight limitations
The Organiser must be advised well in advance of heavy/large exhibits. The maximum weight by sqm is 500kg/m2.
Lorry park
During the show, all lorries and vans must be removed from all car parks at the venue.
Break-down
No-one, including Exhibitors, will be permitted to drive vehicles into the area around the exhibition until the
Organiser give permission.
Stands must be maintained in a fully manned and operational state until 16:00 hrs on Wednesday, 14 May
2014. Hand-carried goods only will be allowed out of the hall on Wednesday, 14 May 2014 before 16:00 hrs.
The Organiser ask that Exhibitors take note of these instructions and bring them to the attention of contractors
in order to prevent a crush of vehicles and the resultant delays in departures of all Exhibitors.
Note that any stand fitting material that is to be retained by the Exhibitor should be clearly labelled to prevent
removal by cleaning staff/contractors. During the dismantling procedure, any stand fittings left behind by
Exhibitors or contractors will be removed by the Organiser unless notified that the stand fittings are to be
retained awaiting collection. The hall MUST be cleared by 20:00 hrs on Wednesday, 14 May 2014. Any items
still on site after that time will automatically be removed, and any costs incurred will be levied from the Exhibitor.
Contractors
Any contract entered into between an Exhibitor and any contractor does not in any way form part of the contract
between the Exhibitor and the Organiser. Responsibility will not be accepted by the Organiser for any dispute or
difference between Exhibitor and contractors in any way whatsoever, and Exhibitors will be responsible for all
payments due to such contractors. Exhibitors will be held responsible for the conduct of any of their contractors
and subcontractors.

state at all times. Gangways must be kept clear and unobstructed and will also be cleaned nightly. Please note

thoroughfares or entrance area.
Fire protection
All materials used in construction work, displays etc must be effectively fireproofed or made of non-flammable
materials.
Hazardous equipment and bottled gas
EDS Exhibitors’ Manual 2014
No equipment of a hazardous or dangerous nature is to be used or employed without the written consent of the
Organiser, and where appropriate, the Local Authorities. The Organiser accepts no responsibility in the event of
the Local Authorities failing to give the necessary permission.
Compressed air, oxygen, hydrogen, dissolved acetylene or other gas or liquid under pressure must be supplied in
steel cylinders, and then only by written consent of the Organiser prior to its entry into the building. Exhibitors
must contact the Organiser if they plan to use bottled gas.
Health and safety
Exhibitors are advised that any equipment being operated or demonstrated should be inherently safe and not
create a hazard to the demonstrator or visitors. First aid will be available on site.
Organiser’s office
At 09:00 on Sunday, 11 May 2014, the Organiser will be established at the venue for the assistance of both
Exhibitors and contractors, who should report their arrival to the office to receive any up-to-date information. The
Exhibitor pack containing up-to-date information, stand personnel badges etc should be collected at Exhibitors'
earliest convenience. Outstanding payments for stand extras should be paid for at this time.
Security
Although general security is provided by the Organiser, Exhibitors are reminded that the security of individual
stands and exhibits is at all times their responsibility. Stands should not be left unattended at any time,
particularly during the vulnerable build-up and break-down periods. Exhibitors' stand personnel will be required to
obtain and display badges provided by the Organiser at all times. The Organiser will accept no liability for any
loss or damage to any stand, exhibits, personal property or personal items howsoever such loss or damage is
sustained. It is the responsibility of the individual Exhibitor to ensure that their stand, exhibits and personal
property are secure at all times. Exhibitors showing small items of a valuable or vulnerable nature should arrange
for overnight safekeeping with the Organiser or their hotel, or a suitable security office.
Please do not leave any items on your stand after you have packed and removed your exhibits or stand fittings.
Sound levels for working exhibits (a/v)
The Organiser reserve the right to monitor, and where necessary, determine the acceptable level of sound of
audio/visual presentations or working exhibits. Where the sound level is deemed to be too high or detrimental to
adjoining Exhibitors, the Exhibitor will reduce the sound to a mutually acceptable level.
Stand etiquette
Exhibitors are respectfully requested to maintain a discreet attitude should they wish to offer hospitality on their
stands or run audio/visual programmes. The service of alcoholic beverages should be maintained in a private
section within the stand and visitors should be entertained there or in the appropriate restaurants or bars.
Visitors
Visitors will be registered (by invitation/ticket registration form), and given visitor stickers at the hall entrance. This
will be the point of access for all information, during the show. The exhibition will be open to the general public. In
addition, Exhibitors can obtain invitation/tickets for their own distribution by completing Form 3 and returning it by
the date on the form. The Organiser will also be distributing invitation/tickets.
