ORGANISATION OF THE STAND

Each company will have its own space of approximately 12 m² with the following items:

• Table and 4 chairs

If an exhibitor requests two spaces, the stand furniture will also be duplicated.

If an exhibitor needs furniture or services not covered by the terms of the call, including fridges and freezers, the company must bear the cost.

The basic decoration will be the same for all stands. Within their own space, each exhibitor may use their logo and promotional material, provided this does not alter the overall look of the stands.

Companies will have access to a shared water point.

The Prodeca staff assigned to organising the pavilion will support exhibitors before, during and after the fair.
