show. Details concerning registration appear on the exhibition website.

How late can I register?
Online registration is available right up until the exhibition closes, so you can register online at any time. Alternatively, visitors may register to
attend at the registration desk near the entrance at any time during an event. It is recommended that visitors complete
online pre-registration to avoid a potential delay in registering onsite at the show.

are able to enter the show as many times as you like over the duration of the event. A person who is not an exhibitor and
is observed conducting sales activities during the exhibition will be excluded from the event. Trade suppliers are not
eligible to attend the event unless exhibiting or working with another exhibitor
-
I am an international guest; do I need a visa to enter Australia?
If so, can you provide me with an invitation letter so I can apply for a visitor visa?
Most visitors will require a Visa to enter Australia. Applications need to be made well in advance at the Australian Consulate in your own country or in
some cases can be made online. For more information visit the Australian Government Immigration site. It is not our company
policy to provide invitation letters to visitors wishing to attend our shows. For more information on what to do you are
best to visit the Department of Immigration website.
-
Can you tell me if XYZ is exhibiting?
The exhibition floor plan is updated regularly, so it is best to check there for the latest list of exhibitors.
-
I have another question, how do I get answers?
Please email your question to us at
exhibitions@visualconnections.org.au
-
How far in advance can I erect my exhibit?
Floor space only exhibitors are provided with extra time to erect their custom built stands, as opposed to shell scheme exhibitors who only require dressing
their stand. Exhibitors are afforded between one and three days to erect their exhibits. Check the exhibitor manual closer
to the show for exact dates and times.
-
Are there approved suppliers who can help me build an exhibit stand?
Yes, each exhibition has appointed approved suppliers to construct your stand. A range of furniture will also be available for hire during the exhibition.
Check the exhibitor manual closer to the show for details on these suppliers.
-
Is storage available at the Exhibition Centres and if so, is there a charge?
No, storage facilities are not available onsite. Any exhibitor requiring onsite storage must contact the appointed contractor. Fees will vary between exhibitions
and are dependant on how much storage space is required. The exhibitor manual available closer to the show will have details
about storage.
-
What type of stand should I book – shell scheme or floor space?
Every company has their own budget and needs, and this will reflect the type of stand built.
For smaller exhibition stands (i.e. 18sqm or less) we only accept shell scheme bookings. This stand type includes exhibition
carpet, walling (if required), standard power and lighting (you are able to upgrade depending on your requirements,
and this must be done through the appropriate approved supplier). It is cheaper in the long run to book this type of
stand.
Floor space stands come with nothing, except the concrete space. To utilise this space, you need to arrange for your own
flooring, walling (if required), power and lighting.
For larger exhibition stands it really depends on how you want to show off your company and products.
-
Are there any ways I can promote my stand at the show?
Yes! The best way is to use our exhibition logo in your advertisements and email signatures. The logo is available for download from the exhibition web
page.
Another way is to send out the exhibitor invitations we provide you with to your customers. You could include these
with your parcels, invoices or statements. You could also do a special mail out telling them about what you’ve got going
on during the show such as product releases, workshops or special guests.
At the entry to the show there are show bags
visitors can pick up on their way in. We offer exhibitors the opportunity to include a promotional item, such as a flyer,
pen or mints in these bags. If you are interested in doing something like this, send us an email exhibitions@visualconnections.org.au
and we’ll provide you with more information.
In the visitor bags, we also include the visitor guide. The guide is the official
exhibition directory that contains profiles on every exhibiting company, as well as a comprehensive listing of categories
the exhibitors deal in. Closer to the exhibition, all exhibitors will be prompted to submit their details.
We also offer
exhibitors the opportunity to advertise in the guide. If you are interested in advertising in the guide, send us an email
exhibitions@visualconnections.org.au and we’ll provide you with more information.
