Build‐Up Height

– The maximum building height for the top of all elements is as follows;

4.00 m + height of a raised floor for all booths in the Foyer ground floor

3.00 m for booths in the Foyer upper floor

Except:

2.00 m for booths #28-32 and #60-63

–  Shell scheme booths build up height is 2.5 meters

Exhibitors who will have booths higher than the maximum permitted height will not be allowed to set-up their booths.

Any part facing adjacent booths that is above 2.5m in height (back-to-back wall) needs to be designed with neutral tones (preferably white). The backwalls (reverse side) of any booth that is adjacent to another booth – over 2.5m in height – must be nicely finished, free of exposed wiring, graphics, or logos, to maintain a clean and professional appearance.

Structures installed for specific events, exhibition stands including installations, special structures and exhibits as well as advertising displays must be sufficiently stable that they do not pose a threat to public safety and order and, in particular, that they do not endanger life and health.

Exhibitors / customers are responsible for ensuring the load-bearing capacity and stability of such structures and may be required to furnish the relevant proof.

 

Ceiling Rigging

Ceiling hanging is not permitted.

 

Electricity and Internet connections

Power supplies and other utilities, such as internet cables, are typically distributed to booths via the floor and pillars. However, it is crucial to verify this with us in advance, as these may vary depending on the specific booth location and your unique requirements.

♦♦Important♦♦:

  • Exhibitors are required to have floor cover or carpeted floor within their booth space (note that shell scheme booths already incl. with carpet).
  • All floor coverings must be secured and maintained so that they do not cause any hazard.
  • Fixing the floor covering to the hall floor may only be possible if the exhibitor/builder’s use approved tape. The ICM will provide the tape for free and is available at the ICM Business Center
  • Exhibitors and stand builders are responsible for ensuring that the exhibition floor is left in the same condition it was found in. Any damage or soiling that cannot be removed during routine cleaning will be charged to the exhibitor or stand builder.

 

 Raised Floor / Platform 

  • Please note that if your booth has a platform, you are required to provide a ramp to ensure access for people with disabilities.
  • The platform sides must be closed and finished neatly. The platform edges must be safesecured and easily visible.
  • Exhibitors must notify the organizer and the venue if they intend to install a raised floor or platform within their booth space (when submitting booth drawings for approval). This notification is essential as services such as electricity, Internet, etc. are mostly provided through floor-based cabling. Raised floor or platform installation must be scheduled after the completion of relevant cabling work. Once the floor is installed, we will NOT accept any additional service requests that require placement beneath the raised floor.

Once the floor is installed, we will NOT accept any additional service requests that require placement beneath the raised floor.

      • Any counter, desk etc. or device (i-pads, touch screens etc.) which attract visitors may not be placed immediately at the borders of the booth facing the aisles (there should be a reasonable distance from the edge of the booth).
