What are the hanging sign regulations & restrictions?
Unfortunately hanging signs are not allowed in the Congress-Centrum Ost Koelnmesse. Alternatively you can order a printed sign which will hang over your booth. For this please reference the
Exhibitor Services Manual.
Do I need to order drayage?
Drayage is the movement of show freight from the shipping dock to your booth. No matter how you get your freight to the dock at the Congress-Centrum Ost Koelnmesse, you are not allowed to bring your shipment onto the expo floor on your own - it must be done by union labor. Drayage costs are based on the weight and size of your shipment.
How do I handle shipping to the Congress-Centrum Ost Koelnmesse?
How do I order graphics, custom booths, furniture and carpet?
We can produce any signage that you need. Whether you want to add a logo to your Booth ID sign or order meter-sized boards, we can do it. The plus side to that is you don't have to ship your signage (and risk having it arrive damaged) and it is at your booth when you arrive. They can make most types of banners or signage at a competitive price. The
Exhibitor Services Manual will list standard size prices.
The ESM will also list forms for custom booths, carpet, furniture rental, lighting orders and pretty much anything you need for a complete presence on the Expo floor.
How do I order lead retrieval, audio visual, electrical, internet, food, booth security or plants for my booth?
I need to go on the expo floor to assist in setting up the booth for only a short time, can I bring my baby or child with me?
Our insurance policy prohibits anyone under the age of 18 on the expo floor during move-in and move-out.
