ACCOMMODATION

We have negotiated a preferential room rate at Sheraton Munich Arabellapark Hotel. This is only available until 14th September 2008 so early booking is advised. To book your accommodation, please click here.

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 Munich Arabellapark Hotel and should arrive no earlier than: 10th October (otherwise the hotel will charge a storage fee per day per delivery) and no later than: 13th October

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 Charlotte Davis - charlotte@eyefortravel.com as soon as possible but before 12th September 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 A4 210x297mm, 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.

Delivery address for hard copies:

Deadline for receiving artwork is Friday 19th September 2008

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 Mon 13th October 2008 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.

Such insurance is available through our insurer, Insurex Expo-Sure, who will be happy to provide you with a quote. You may contact Muriel Semple Tel: +44 (0) 1892 511 500

You are also responsible for insuring against any legal liability incurred in respect of injury or damage to property belonging to third parties, and you may wish to protect your investment against abandonment, cancellation or curtailment of the event due to reason beyond our control.
