Damages

Exhibitors must not apply paint, lacquer, adhesives or coating to building columns, floors or panels. No bills, signs, floor coverings or other articles should be pasted, nailed, taped or otherwise attached to the walls, floors, ceilings, columns, partitions, panels or trim. Panels cannot be painted, however, you can request printed panels at an additional cost. It is not possible to change the nameboard colour or affix your own fascia.

Fascia Name Board

Shell Scheme Stands (Island Sites)
Wall panels are not generally provided for island sites. If wall panels are required, the allowance is 1 panel per 3 m2 at no additional cost. Contact Sales Team to discuss. 

Stand Cleaning

Please note, stand cleaning is *NOT INCLUDED* in your Shell Scheme package. GES will clean the stand on completing the build as part of the handover to the client and the venue will do a general clean of the halls pre-open however this only includes the aisles and clearing of rubbish. It is highly encouraged that exhibitors order stand cleaning. If you require cleaning, please order via DWTC Event Plus. Any rubbish that needs to be collected must be put into the aisles.

Storage behind perimeter stands is not permitted, any items (including stand material) found behind stands will be removed during the daily master cleaning.

Walling rule

Long runs of walling along open perimeters of stands are not permitted. Only 50% of any open side is permitted to be a solid wall.

Where long runs of walling are present along open sides they must be relieved by display items and not left in plain colours – if perimeter walling is more than 1m high, it must not occupy more than 50% of any one side. If long runs of walling are essential and over 50% of the length of stand, they must be recessed by 0.5m from the perimeter of the site and will be subject to written approval by the Organisers.
