Exhibitors are responsible for insuring their goods against loss or theft. We recommend them to take out a trade fair and exhibition risk insurance. Consignment of the exhibiting space Exhibitors are required to register at the Organizer’s desk in the Entrance of Hall 4 before starting any construction works. All parties granted access to the venue shall comply with the instructions and dispositions given by MiCo in the present regulations as well as those given in the form of signs or written notice. Access to the fairground for the stand’s building up and dismantling phases is limited to the days and times indicated on the time table. Outside these periods, it will not be permitted to bring in or out material or for personnel to remain within the exhibition center premises. Access to the fair site requires a valid admission ticket issued by the Organizer. Visitors may only enter the fair site during opening hours; exhibitors may gain admission at the times indicated in the time table in this technical guide. Organizer’s responsibility The Organizer shall neither be held responsible for any restriction which prevents the construction, finishing, alteration or dismantling of the stand nor for the movement of exhibits or the failure of any service provided by the hall personnel or caused by circumstances which are not under its control. Occupying space conditions An exhibitor will not be permitted to occupy the space booked or allocated until the Organizer in respect to the contract has received full payment of the agreed rental fee. All the payments should be fulfilled before starting the building up as there will be an entrance control at the doors. Failure to make such final payment by the agreed date will result in the loss of any deposit previously paid and the full amount for the rental of exhibition space will still remain due. This will also result in the cancellation of the space booked, which will be immediately reallocated to another exhibitor.

Demonstrations of machines, musical instruments, loudspeakers, bells, sirens, high-frequency appliances, etc., which are associated with noise or other forms of disturbance, may only take place at times reserved for this purpose by the Organizer. The Organizer reserves the right to restrict or prohibit such demonstrations. Exhibitors shall have no claim to compensation in the event of such prohibition. The sound should be directed towards the interior of the stand and not outside; the noise level at the perimeter of the stand may not exceed 70 dB. The neighboring stands should not suffer of visual or acoustic interference. Housekeeping and Discarding of Materials MiCo requires exhibitors and contractors to maintain clear and safe walkways around the halls during build-up, operation and tear-down in order that staff, contractor personnel and emergency equipment can move around the halls without unreasonable obstruction. Stand material and equipment must be kept in a reasonably orderly arrangement and any materials that are to be discarded must not be left lying around the floors to act as a fire, trip or slip hazard. We would request that discarded material be bagged to enable a safe and efficient removal. Any perishable or food products must be removed by the exhibitor and not left in the halls where it may become a hazard. All timber sections that are not contained within a dedicated area and where there is risk to persons from protruding nails must be de-nailed to eliminate this hazard. The exhibitors and contractors must take a responsible approach to the building up of combustible material in the halls. Cleaning Exhibitors shall keep their rented spaces in a clean and orderly condition.
