STAND ALLOCATIONS

All stand allocations will be done on a first come first served basis and can only be guaranteed once we have received a signed copy of the Exhibitor Contract. Where possible, EyeforTravel will try to give you your first choice but if this is not available we will offer you the next best alternative.

EXPO PACKAGE

The following is included in your package:

  • 1 x table
  • 2 x Chairs

Additional equipment orders, Telephone and Internet Connection as well as Audio Visual equipment need to be ordered separately with the hotel. Please see the Exhibition Extras section below for information on how to order these.

The exhibition space is yours to do with as you choose. Some exhibitors will bring pop-up stands of their own. The only restriction is that whatever you bring must fit within your allocated space.

EXPO STAFF

As an exhibitor, you are also given 2 Exhibit Staff Passes to allocate to those you intend to man your stand. Please note these do not include access to the main conference.

Please inform Julia Savage, at julia@eyefortravel.com by Monday February 23rd of the full name, job title and email address of the people from your company obtaining these tickets so that we can send them confirmation. If we do not receive the names by this date then there will be no badges available at the registration desk.

Should you require additional exhibit passes, these may be charged per additional person. Please contact Paul Lane on the details above for more information.

ACCOMMODATION

SHIPPING

All shipping is to be organized and paid independently by the exhibitor. If you are shipping in advance it is STRONGLY ADVISED to pre-arrange for return shipping from the venue, before attending the exhibition. It is also important to bring TRACKING NUMBERS with you in the unlikely event a package needs to be traced. Please also bring all necessary packing and shipping materials with you.

It is not the responsibility of EyeforTravel to arrange shipment although we will be on hand to offer advice.

All shipping should be sent to Sheraton Atlanta Hotel and should arrive no earlier than: Friday February 27th (otherwise the hotel will charge a storage fee per day per delivery) and no later than: Monday April 2nd

For your convenience I have created a Shipping Label, which must be printed out and attached to all exhibition material boxes.

COMPANY OVERVIEW & LOGO

Exhibitors each get a 100-word overview and their company logo in the EyeforTravel Show Guide.

OVERVIEW

This is strictly 100 words (no more). The idea of the overview is to simply give a brief description of your company ‘products & services’.

COMPANY LOGO

Your company logo must be saved in an EPS format and saved in outlines.

Please submit your company overview together with your company logo to Julia Savage – julia@eyefortravel.com as soon as possible but before Friday February 6th at the very latest.

EyeforTravel will not be responsible if your logo and overview is not received in time or in the right format. We also reserve the right to change your company overview if it is longer that 100 words.

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Show Guide will be produced in US Letter Size (8.5" x 11"), our designer has asked that all artwork be produced to this size. Please supply electronic artwork as a Press Optimized PDF with the fonts embedded.

A COLOUR RUN-OUT OF THE AD MUST ALWAYS BE SUPPLIED WITH ELECTRONIC FILES. IF THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE A FAX IS REQUESTED TO MATCH FONTS FOR PAGE LAYOUT.

Also note the following:

If the advertisement is to cover the overall page, it should be supplied with crop marks and bleed of at least 3mm.

If we do not receive your advert by the deadline stated or in the wrong format, we cannot ensure it will be in the showguide.

INSERTS FOR DELEGATE PACKS

If you have opted for an insert as part of your Expo package, please note that they must arrive at the venue during business hours by Friday February 27th at the very latest!

If we do not receive the inserts by the date stated and with the attached label, we cannot guarantee they will be placed in the Expo/Conference attendee packs.

It is also important to bring the TRACKING NUMBERS with you in the unlikely event a package needs to be traced.

If you are unsure whether your package includes an insert then please refer to your contract or contact EyeforTravel directly.

INSURANCE

Whilst we will take every precaution to protect your property during the event, we are not responsible for any loss or damages and recommend that you obtain insurance coverage.
