During the dismantling period, the security of the booth is at the sole risk and expense of the exhibitor.<\/p>\n The exhibition hall is located in Hall B (Sala Grande) of CEC.<\/p>\n Vehicles access to the CEC will be on street Eduardo Couture between Vaz Ferreyra and Julia Victor Gonzalez by Callao Street until reaching the so called unloading area.<\/p>\n During the periods of construction and dismantling of the exhibition, an area for suppliers, booth builders, decorators, etc. will be established within the general parking lot. Parking in this area will be free of charge. The coordination of loading and unloading as well as the time limits assigned to each builder are the responsibility of the property. Vehicles will not be allowed to enter the pavilions without authorization from Anselmi.<\/p>\n Exhibitors take full responsibility at all times to guard the items on their booth (including set up and dismantling period).\u00a0General security will be provided by the organizer around the clock. Exhibitors and their staffs will not be allowed in the exhibition hall before\/after official hours. All personnel in the exhibition halls must wear badges at all times. To avoid any loss or damage, exhibitors with small exhibit items are strongly recommended to carefully pack their items in proper packages\/boxes at the end of each show day.<\/p>\n If your displays are very valuable or sensitive and you wish to hire security personnel to attend to your stand exclusively for out-of show hours, please contact official security company. Please note that companies must not use their own staff or personnel from any other security agency. It is possible to book additional security for your booth through Met Group (please see form below).<\/p>\n Security and Regulations for Working Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n During building and dismantling, any working staff\u00a0 must wear the appropriate PPE including helmet and safety shoes. People working in height with elevators and\/or scaffolds, will also have to wear harnesses without exception.<\/p>\n Fire E<\/strong>xtinguisher<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Exhibitors with a booth size higher than 50sqm must place a 2.5 kg ABC triclase chemical powder fire extinguisher inside the assigned space. Exhibitors must give instructions to their staff on how to handle the extinguisher.<\/p>\n The ISN has arranged for the general cleaning of the public exhibition areas (excluding booths) prior to the opening of the exhibition and daily thereafter (outside of opening hours). Exhibitors wishing to book additional booth cleaning must do so only with the appointed company through the booking form (at the end of this page). Cleaning crew will be provided with the necessary access\/badges by ISN. Any necessary disposal of stand materials, rubbish etc. by the ISN will be at the exhibitor’s cost. During build-up and dismantling periods, independent booth-building contractors appointed by exhibitors are responsible for the removal of their own stand building\/dismantling materials and rubbish.<\/p>\n Anselmi is the sole provider of electricity for the venue. All electrical installation work in the exhibition must be carried out solely by Anselmi. Exhibitors are required to switch off all appliances and switches on their booth at the end of each day.<\/p>\n Please provide the following considerations to your independent booth contractors:<\/p>\n Insurance Guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n Proof of insurance can be sent via email to florencia.v@metgroup.com.ar<\/a> or can be printed and brought directly to the venue during the congress.<\/p>\n Gadgets that are distributed to participants should be professional in nature and should not exceed a maximum value of 5 USD per item. Sharp, pointy or dangerous objects are not allowed. The organizer reserve the right to request invoices of the gadgets at any time.<\/p>\n Exhibitors are not allowed to place stickers, signs or posters anywhere in the halls other than within their own stand and on paid advertising poster sites and billboards. Likewise, exhibitors\u2019 representatives may not distribute brochures, invitations, etc. along the gangways or near the entrances\/exits.<\/p>\n Exhibitors who intend to provide demonstrations or make presentations during the exhibition must strictly follow rules & regulations below:<\/p>\n All exhibitors must be considerate of their noise levels for neighboring booths in the exhibition hall (max sound level may not exceed 85dB when measured 1 meter from stand). Activity or equipment that is considered to generate excessive noise or flashing lights is not allowed. Exhibitors must follow the relevant licensing provisions for use of music and TV on their stands.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Deliveries and Freight”]All shipment and deliveries must be made in consultation with the official freight forwarder Kristal Logistics.
