Exhibitor Manual
Dear Exhibitor,
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to yet another edition of ABTA.
Once more the show will be held at Transamerica Expo, which offers
great infrastructure.
To plead ignorance of the rules set out in this Manual shall not exempt
exhibitors or their contractors from the applicable penalties and responsibilities established herein. You are therefore strongly advised to read this
document with care and inform all staff and contractors of the relevant
rules.
We are confident your participation will be a resounding success, especially in terms of the business opportunities provided by ABTA 2014.
At the end of the Manual you will find a checklist to help you organize
your participation in the event.
This Manual is designed to facilitate your participation as an Exhibitor, as well as providing guidelines on Booth Contractors and Service
Providers. Like the Manual, all the required forms will be available only
on the ABTA 2014 website (www.abta2014.com.br) and must be returned online by the stipulated deadlines. No forms may be sent by fax.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need more information or have any
queries. Our mission is to make sure your participation in ABTA 2014
is a success.
Please pay special attention to the deadlines for you to return forms.
Forms will not be available on the website after the specified dates.
You can contact us by phone at Converge Comunicações: (+5511) 3138-4660.
Or if you prefer you can email us at any of these addresses:
Information: info@abta2014.com.br / info@convergecom.com.br
We recommend you make careful inquiries about possible service providers before entering into contractual arrangements, except in the
case of the Official Service Providers listed by Converge. Official Service Providers will be available during booth set-up and dismantling,
and of course throughout the show itself.
Sincerely,
The Event Organization.
We would like to suggest a few of the precautions you should take
before retaining firms other than Official Service Providers:
- ask booth contractors for references (at least a list of clients with
contacts)
- agree with booth contractors that their personnel will be on hand for
maintenance throughout the show
- tell them about the refundable deposit that must be left with Converge
Comunicações.

6.5 - Prohibited items
All booths must have both the required floor plan and a document
known as ART (Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica) or RRT
(Registro de Responsabilidade Técnica), which means “Technical
Responsibility Note/Record”, signed by the engineer or architect
responsible for the design. This professional must be registered with

The Show Managers reserve the right to stop construction of any booth
deemed to be in violation of these rules until the Exhibitor or Booth Contractor
responsible makes the necessary corrections or pays for repair to damage to
the building. The amount of such payment shall be determined solely by the
management of Transamerica.

the difference after the show closes.
Double-decker booth design must be approved in advance by the Show
Manager. Design blueprints must include a floor plan, architectural

power supply to other Exhibitors.

will begin receiving power supply from 10a.m. on Aug 04th.
