Items provided are explained in more detail below but should you have any special requests, please do not hesitate to contact us via the fax back form attached.

Personnel

The allocation of complimentary delegate passes you have been offered in your sponsor manual should include sponsor staff assigned to your hospitality area. They should register as early as possible to obtain their badge and conference material. All sponsor staff are requested to wear their badges at all times during the conference, as access to sessions, breaks etc will be by badgeholder only. Registration opening times are as follows:
  Thursday 11th February Friday 12th February
Registration 08.30hrs – 09.30hrs 08.30hrs – 09.15hrs


Furniture & Signage

Your hospitality area will include the following:
  • Furniture - There will be lounge furniture, coffee tables, potted foliage and one literature display rack.


  • Signage & Graphics Display Points - there will be two signage points for you to utilise to display company materials. The approximate sizes are A0 (841mm wide x 1189mm long). Velcro will be used to attach the materials to the signage points.


  • A telephone line or an ISDN line may be ordered via the attached form but please be advised that this will be at your own cost.

Please note that no PC counters will be provided and therefore we urge you to utilise your area for networking and hospitality only. We would strongly discourage extensive distribution of literature, product demonstrations and promotions.
