ORGANISATION OF THE STAND

Companies interested in taking part in SIAL 2024 may choose between the following forms of participation:

• Individual stand of approximately 12 m2, including:
  • Storage
  • 1 table
  • 4 chairs
  • 1 counter
  • 1 stool
  • Product display surface (shelving or display cabinet, depending on final design)
  • Graphics (company logo and branding)
     
• Double stand of approximately 24 m2, including:
  • Storage
  • 2 tables
  • 8 chairs
  • 2 counters
  • 2 stools
  • Product display surface (shelving or display cabinet, depending on final design) (x2)
  • Graphics (company logo and branding) (x2)

The basic stand decoration will be the same for all companies. Within their own space, each exhibitor may use other promotional materials (vinyls, roll-ups, signage, etc.), provided these do not alter the overall look of the stand and are attached rather than nailed. Exhibitors must notify Prodeca in advance and bear the cost of installation.

• Espai Catalunya (shared, open-plan), including:
  • 1 counter
  • 1 stool
  • 1 display cabinet
  • Graphics (company logo and branding)
  • The space will have a shared meeting area and storage.

Any company needing furniture or services not covered by the terms of the call must notify Prodeca sufficiently in advance so that proper provision can be made for both space and electrical capacity. Prodeca can provide a price list for hiring extra furniture and electrical items (fridges, freezers, etc.) to companies that request it. In all cases, the cost of extras is borne by the exhibiting company. Prodeca covers the cost of the connection and electricity consumption.

If a company brings furniture or electrical items that have not been notified to Prodeca in advance and these cause problems for the stand build or for the other participating companies, they will have to be removed.

Every participating company will be included in the fair catalogue.
