Onboarding and information
This document contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION from the Congress Managers and exhibition service providers. It has been designed to answer your pre-event and onsite enquiries, gives you documentation to claim your exhibitor entitlements before the event, and assist you in your role as an exhibitor. It is your responsibility to share this exhibitor manual with any contractors or stand builders to ensure that they comply with the necessary requirements.
Public Liability Insurance
It is recommended that you hold current public liability insurance policy for your participation in the industry exhibition.
If you haven’t already done so, please forward a copy of your public liability insurance to sponex@aplarcongress.com no later than Monday 3 October 2022. If you do not hold a current public liability insurance, you then agree to the below terms:
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and the Congress Managers shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury that may occur to the exhibitor, exhibitor’s employees (public or other) or property from any cause whatsoever prior, during and subsequent to the exhibition. The exhibitor, on contracting for space or an exhibition stand, expressly releases the organisers and the venue from, and agrees to indemnify same against, any and all claims for such direct and indirect loss, damage or injury.
Exhibitors shall indemnify and hold harmless the organisers, venue and their agents from all liability (damage, incident or accident) which might ensue from any cause resulting or connected with the transportation, placing, removal or display of exhibits.
Onsite Experience
Is your booth COVID safe?
Use the following checklist and ensure your booth design and furnishings comply with covid safety measures:
- Clear entry and exit points
- Directional signage and health education materials on display (face masks, cough etiquette etc)
- Sanitizer available at your booths
- Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning and sanitising their booths after delegates have visited.
- Exhibitors are discouraged from handing out brochures and samples. If they wish to provide these they must not be displayed for self-service, the exhibitor must hand these over to the delegate.
- Food and drink may be offered to the delegates after prior approval from the venue. Items must be individually packaged and are not displayed for self-service; the exhibitor is required to hand these over to the delegate.
- During the event limit the number of delegates within your booth
Catering
The current restrictions in Hong Kong require food be consumed in a dedicated catering zone, which does not include individual rooms around the Centre.
APLAR will monitor this and should these guidelines change we will inform you and advise instruction on ordering food.
At this time, no orders will be approved to provide catering.
Date of update: 20th July 2022
