STAND ORGANISATION

Companies interested in taking part in SEAFOOD 2027 can choose from the following options:

Stands of approximately 12 m², including:

• Storage
• 1 table
• 4 chairs
• 1 counter
• 1 stool
• Product display area (shelving or display case, subject to final design)
• Graphics (company logo and image)

• Graphics (company logo and image) (x2)

NOTE: The furniture and graphics listed for each option are provisional and may be subject to change.

Water and coffee will be available for shared use.

The basic stand decoration will be uniform for all companies. Within their own space, each exhibitor may use other promotional materials (vinyls, roll-ups, signage, etc.), provided they do not alter the overall appearance of the stand and are attached rather than nailed. In all cases, exhibitors must inform Prodeca in advance and cover the cost of installation work.

Any company requiring furniture or services not included in the terms of the call must inform Prodeca well in advance so that appropriate arrangements can be made for both space and electrical supply. Prodeca can provide a price list for additional furniture rental to companies that request it. In all cases, the cost of extras is always borne by the exhibiting company.

Prodeca will cover the cost of connection and electricity consumption, provided it does not exceed the default limit of 2 KW per 12 m² of stand.

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

All participating companies will be included in the fair catalogue.

PARTICIPATION COST AND CONDITIONS

• 12 m² stand: €6,360 + 21% VAT
• 24 m² stand: €12,720 + 21% VAT

Due to this year's space limitations, and in order to match the configuration of exhibition spaces to product presentation needs, companies that do not require specific equipment for displaying or preserving products (fridges, freezers or equivalent) will not be eligible for an area larger than 12 m².

Companies interested in taking part must complete the registration form and send it to Prodeca together with payment or proof of payment of the registration fee.

Companies wishing to apply for a corner stand may do so by ticking the box on the registration form and paying an additional cost of €300. The corner will be invoiced once allocated, following the draw that determines company locations. Each company may apply for only one corner.

Registrations will be accepted until the space contracted for this fair is filled. The acceptance criterion is Prodeca's general rule: order of arrival of registrations.

Booking stands of more than 24 m² is subject to space availability. Requests must be made in the observations section of the registration form and will be assessed according to the volume of demand once the call has closed.

Prodeca staff assigned to organising the stand will support exhibitors before and during the fair.
