Colors
Our ICC-profiled workflow also enables us to implement the special colors Pantone (solid un/coated) and HKS. Nevertheless, specific properties of the substrates lead to different color effects. Always include a color printout or a color-accurate proof with your order. No RAL specifications, only Pantone or HKS. Without a printout or proof, subsequent complaints about color and print are not possible. For color-critical motifs, we recommend a press proof on original material (against payment).

Booth operation & presence of staff
Registered exhibitors are obliged to participate in the event and to put the booth into operation in time. During the event, especially during breaks, the stand should be properly equipped and staffed.
At certain times, e.g. when the program is on, less traffic is expected in the exhibition area. Therefore, it might not be necessary to be present at your exhibition booth permanently. Let your colleagues decide when to be present at the booth and when to take advantage of the conference program.
We clean the Exhibition area before the conference starts. The exhibitor is responsible for cleaning his own stand during the event.
Security & insurance
Please be aware, that there is no guarding of single booths. Each exhibitor is responsible for the security of his exhibits.
The organizer assumes no liability for objects and valuables brought in by the exhibitor, his employees or agents. The exhibitor is liable for his own stand equipment and exhibits. We recommend sufficient insurance cover.
Any damage at the conference location caused by exhibitors or their agents on the premises, whether on buildings or facilities, will be repaired at the end of the event at the cost of the person who caused the damage.
