Rules & regulations

• The aim of this rule is to ensure visibility. Visually enclosed stands are not allowed
• Exhibits and walling must be positioned in such a way as not to obstruct the view of the exhibition or adjacent stands. Under no circumstances are neighbouring stands to be visually blocked off from the rest of the exhibition
• Only up to a maximum of 50% of any open side of a stand is permitted to have a non-transparent outside wall
• Low walling or handrails up to 1.1m height are considered ‘open’
• Walls cannot be stepped back in order to overcome this ruling
• Solid runs of walling along open perimeters are not permitted unless facing a Venue wall
• The upper deck of double deck stands may be completely closed in
• The outside finish must be the same as inside or equivalent in quality of build
• This rule applies to all Space Only stands, including those located outdoors

Exceptions to the above will be considered by the Organisers on a case-by-case basis and only if all affected neighbour stands have agreed in writing.

NOTE FOR BUILD-UP: Visual enclosures to protect privacy during build-up are only permitted if they are structurally sound and are kept within the boundaries of the stand space.
