Your stand package

Please note that all stands with raised flooring require a ramp and all storage areas must have a vision panel. If you have not booked a shell scheme stand it is your responsibility to design and construct your own stand – you will receive no items from the Organisers (remember to order your carpet/ flooring and electrics for the area).

Both the exhibitor and contractor are responsible for dismantling and removing the stand structure, in accordance with the stipulated timing on Exhibition Schedule. All debris and carpets must be cleared by the exhibitors and/or their contractor by the time stated. Failure to do so may result in the exhibitors and/or their contractors being liable for service fees incurred.

The contractor must submit all plans before the deadline for approval by Ops Squad admin@opssquad.co.uk. This includes detailed drawings of elevations, layout and perspective with dimensions illustrating the design on the stand. Locations of all equipment/machinery on display must be included on the layout. Any booths with coverage ceilings or double story designs will require special approval by the relevant authorities.

The overall height should not exceed 6000mm – unless your technical plans have been agreed by the Operations team; technical drawings with dimensions, a full risk assessment and a method statement must be submitted and approved, otherwise build will not be permitted – by Wednesday 10th January 2024. 

Things to consider:

• A minimum of 50% of the stand is to remain open
• On divided sites it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to erect and decorate any back wall facing other stand areas, up to the height you are building
• You are not permitted to build over 6000mm
• Space only stands building over 2500mm should decorate both the front and the back of the panels – no advertising materials must be displayed onto neighbouring stands
• All construction and displays must be made from fireproofed materials and installed to the satisfaction of the authorities – please refer to the sections on SAFETY REGULATIONS and STAND ASSEMBLY AND DISMANTLING when drawing up your plans.
• All types of demonstrations (e.g., the operation of machines, video and film shows etc.) require advance notification and the written consent of the Operations team. The Operations team is entitled to restrict or prohibit such demonstrations, even if consent has previously been given, if they interfere with the Exhibition. Acoustic advertising also requires authorisation and must not disturb any neighbouring Exhibitors. Musical reproduction by means of radio, tape recorder or CD requires written approval. In accordance with national copyright regulations Exhibitors must obtain permission prior to the beginning of the Exhibition.
