INSURANCE

The exhibitor must insure the contents of their exhibit against damage, fire and theft. The organizer remits the costs of fair area fire protection, locks the indoor facilities for the night and looks after the general surveillance of the Congress Center, while not being held responsible for potential loss and damage of goods.

Fair-related liability insurance offers third-party coverage on damage caused to the organizer’s equipment and structures. The organizer’s liability insurance does not indemnify harm incurred to the exhibitor’s own equipment and structures; therefore, the exhibitor must arrange for such insurance as required himself (risk, fire, theft, etc.).

EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION

All stand personnel are required to register and to pay registration fees. The on-line registering starts 2007.

The registration fee covers the attendance, the proceedings, welcome reception, concert in the Cathedral and coffee breaks.
