3.1 Arrangement and Removal of Exhibition Goods The goods on display should be kept within the prescribed stand limits. Mobile parts may not be moved beyond the stand limits even in order to demonstrate the operation of the exhibited goods. Parts of the exhibition goods which constitute a danger (including sharp protrusions) should be screened off. During the hours that the exhibition is open to the public, exhibited goods may not be covered up. The organizers have the right to remove any such cover, without any liability on their part.

Vehicles, machines, vessels etc. which run on fuel and have been admitted to the exhibition may be brought into the building as exhibition goods only if the fuel tanks and hoses are empty and properly and permanently sealed. Battery connections must have been loosened.

Exhibitors are not permitted to remove goods from their stand during the exhibition, unless an exemption has been granted by the organizers or persons acting on their behalf.

The RAI Exhibition Centre does not permit exhibitors to use floors, walls, roofs or other parts of the lounge or the building for stand construction and/or to damage them by using nails, glue, paint, adhesive tape or other means of attachment. Stands and stand parts should also be painted in advance.

3.2 Badge Readers As an ISE 2012 exhibitor, you have access to the ISE webshop for information about the registration services for exhibitors before, during, and after ISE 2012. All registration services such as badge readers are explained in detail. In addition, you can request a quotation or directly order services.

Please go to the ISE webshop for more information and orders. You can enter the webshop by logging in to the ‘Exhibitor Area’ of the website www.iseurope.org with your username and password provided by the organizers. In case you have not received your login data, please send an email to office@iseurope.org.

3.3 Badges Stand Personnel This service is available from the beginning of October 2011.

Registration of your stand personnel will be possible online in the registration area. A module called ‘Stand Personnel Registration’ is available there.

When registering more than one person, the registration process allows you to save considerable time by reusing the previously entered generic information about your company. Only add personal details for each additional staff member to be registered (use the button ‘add like’ for this). If you need to make changes after the initial registration of your staff, go back to the website, view the list of those that have already been registered, and make additions and changes online.

Important: The badge will provide their sole means of access to the exhibition halls during the open days of the exhibition. Apart from giving access to the exhibition halls, the badge is also an electronic business card. It is therefore of great importance that at the time of registering, all personal details are filled in accurately.

3. General Information

12

Upon completion of each stand personnel registration, a bar coded confirmation will be displayed on your screen. Make sure you print the confirmations and distribute to your stand crew.

Vehicles unloading and loading for halls 1-7 and hall 12 are directed to P9 after passing the buffer zone, for the halls 9-11 it will be P4.

To access the unloading areas near the halls, it is required to carry a vehicle access pass with your vehicle.
