weighing 2,000kg, weight per wheel is 500 kg/0.1 sqm, i.e. exceeding the
permitted weight. In this case, it is necessary to use a podium or other
protective devices for an even weight distribution on the floor.

YOUR STAND
Equipped space
Space only exhibition space
- built through ITE Group
Standard stands
- not built through ITE Group
(inside and outside the pavilion)
Stands will be built using light aluminium poles and Octanorm plastic
laminated panels. Each wall panel is 100 x 250 cm (including the upper and
lower brackets) with a face size of ~ 95 x 235 cm. If you require exact
information about the size of panels used for your stand, please contact ITE
Group’s Technical Service.
Wall panels and other stand material must be returned after the exhibition
undamaged and clean of self-adhesive tape marks, etc. The cost of
damaged stand parts and other equipment will be charged to the exhibitor.
No additional equipment may be attached to the stand shell structure.
Independent lining of panels, drilling holes, or attaching advertising
material with pins, buttons, or tape that is difficult to remove, etc, is not
allowed.
Please refer to your space application form to see what equipment is already
included in the type of stand you have booked. No financial refund can be
done for items not used.
Additional equipment can be ordered using this Exhibitor Manual (Forms T4.1
and T4.2). Photographs of example equipment can be found in the ‘Equipped
stand examples’ section.
In order to stabilise construction or supply power, it might be necessary
to include additional fastening elements or wall panels which are
not necessarily shown on your stand layout. Should you need to
remove these supports temporarily (for example, due to the delivery of large
exhibits to your stand), you must agree this in advance with ITE Group’s
Technical Service and make sure that all the necessary precautions have
been taken.
Set-up of exhibition equipment and connection of electrical equipment
(excluding exhibits) as part of a standard stand will be regarded as similar to
a space only stand and must therefore undergo the chargeable
accreditation procedure.
All electrical appliances and equipment connected to mains sockets must be
certified. Independent electrical connection to the network will be regarded as
an independent construction and must be agreed upon with the General
Stand Builder (see the ‘Your stand’ section).
When decorating walls with fabrics, banners, etc, all materials used must
have a fire safety certificate. For detailed requirements, please see the
‘Banners/technical suspensions from pavilion ceilings’ section.
Keys for doors and locks for cupboards/ showcases can be collected at the
General Stand Builder’s - Sokolniki’s - office, located next to the organiser’s,
against a returnable deposit of 400 roubles per key or lock.
VacuumTechExpo 2014
Please supply a copy of the exhibitor manual to your stand builder.
Your stand must have rear and side walls of a height of 250 cm and also floor
covering (e.g., carpet. laminate). Construction may not exceed a height of 250
cm without permission in writing from ITE Group, which can only be given
upon receipt of the proposed stand design with all measurements at least 2
months prior to the exhibition. When planning stand construction, you must
ensure direct access to fire hydrants located at or in close proximity to your
stand.
Exhibitors can carry out set-up/dismantling and other engineering and design
work themselves or through a third party (stand builder) ONLY if they are
working with non-standard or individual stands and if they have written
permission from Sokolniki.
For the safety of visitors, areas at your stand that face aisles directly should
only use sliding doors.
No part of the stand structure may extend beyond the boundaries of the site
allocated. Company names and logos are not permitted on the reverse side
of walls located on / near the boundaries of the stand or facing neighbouring
stands.
External structures that are visible from passages between stands and from
the side of your neighbours should be suitably decorated (white only). Sides
of your stand that are open according to the general exhibition plan may not
be built with solid walls without agreement with ITE Group’s Technical
Service. In case of infringement of these terms and conditions, the organiser
reserves the right to terminate construction of your stand.
Please note: exhibitors that have ordered a space-only site should supply the
General Stand Builder of Sokolniki, no later than 15 days prior to the
exhibition, with full technical documentation for holding obligatory stand
accreditation (accreditation must be paid for, late supply of documentation
will incur a surcharge).
Only organisations that have signed an agreement with the General Stand
Builder will be allowed to begin set-up. Permission for set-up and decorative
work is issued according to the results of stand accreditation carried out on a
commercial basis. Sokolniki, the General Stand Builder of the exhibition,
has exclusive rights to build standard stands at the exhibition.
Shell Scheme and Modular stands can be ordered and built only with
organisers of the exhibition – ITE Group.
A standard stand is a stand built with carpeted exhibition constructions, white
panels, electrical equipment and furniture according to the builder’s price list
for additional equipment and services. Wall colours can be changed by
applying self-adhesive film. The height of a standard stand is 2.5 m, but this
can be extended by using exhibition structures.
An exclusive stand is a stand manufactured with other materials (wood,
chipboard, hardboard, fabric, etc), or a double-decker stand. Exclusive stands
are also those for which individual designer developments are used in its
construction, and those which require the use of exhibition constructions of
custom type and size.
Panel lining, drawing logos, increasing wall height, or using suspensions,
electrodynamic structures, offset fascias or other additional elements do not
place a stand into the exclusive category.
