ORGANISATION OF THE STAND

Prodeca provides Catalan seafood producers with an exhibition space under the "Catalunya, where seafood is culture" brand, with the aim of supporting the commercial promotion of this sector.

Each company will have an individual 12 m2 stand or a double 24 m2 stand with storage, table, chairs, counter and a product display surface (shelving or display cabinet depending on final design), plus graphics (company logo and branding).

Should a company need more space it may request it and, on a first-come, first-served basis, Prodeca will distribute it equitably until the floor area contracted with the fair is used up.

The basic stand decoration will be uniform across all stands. Within their own space, each exhibitor may use any other promotional material (vinyls, roll-ups, signage, etc.), provided this does not alter the overall look of the stand and the items are attached to the walls rather than nailed. Exhibitors must notify Prodeca in advance for approval and must also bear the costs of producing and installing them.

For exhibitors needing furniture or services not covered by the terms of the call, Prodeca will provide a price list for extra items and the exhibiting company must bear the cost.

Hiring freezers and fridges is at the exhibitor's expense.

Where needed, Prodeca will provide the contact details of a fridge hire company, together with a catalogue and price list. The equipment hire company will invoice companies directly for the hire cost. If a company chooses to hire freezers or fridges from a company other than the one proposed, it must inform Prodeca of the model, dimensions and power rating of the equipment hired so that it can be accommodated within the stand.

A shared water point will be available.

Every participating company will be included in the fair catalogue.

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

COST AND CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

• Cost per individual 12 m2 stand: €5,500 + VAT
• Cost per individual 24 m2 stand: €11,000 + VAT

As space is limited, requests will be accepted subject to availability and on a first-come, first-served basis. Stand locations and the allocation of corners will be decided by public draw.

Requests for additional space will only be accepted if space remains available at the end of the registration period.

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

Companies wishing to opt for a corner space may do so by ticking the box on the registration form and paying an additional cost of €300, which will be invoiced once allocated, following the draw that determines the companies' locations.

Company registrations will be accepted until the space contracted for this fair is fully allocated. Prodeca's general acceptance criterion applies: order of arrival of registrations.

REGISTRATION

• Closing date for applications: 15 November 2022
• Registration fee: €1,700 + 21% VAT = €2,057

A company will be considered admitted once it has submitted its application within the stated deadline and paid the registration fee. The remaining amount must be paid before 31 January 2023.

Once admitted, if the company withdraws it will forfeit 100% of the amount paid. The organisers reserve the right to assess the reasons given by the company for cancelling its participation and to refund a percentage of the amount paid. Prodeca will not be liable for any damages that such a cancellation may cause the companies.

The organisers reserve the right to select companies according to criteria of sector fit and product suitability for the fair's market. Should demand for spaces exceed those offered, the criterion of order of arrival of applications and corresponding payments will apply.
