Contractors

|
Exhibitors will be charged for the cost of making good, restoring or renewing any damages to the hall or site, for example, marks by paint and adhesive tape; damage to the walls or the exhibition carpet. Report theft or damage immediately to both Security and Show Management. While SEMI Show Management will exercise reasonable care in safeguarding your property, neither Show Management, the facility, the security contractor, the general contractor, nor any of their officers, agents or employees assumes any responsibility for such property. Exhibitors should therefore include or have a rider attached to their insurance policies covering the shipment of merchandise to the exposition, the exposition period, and return of their merchandise to their home base.
|
Decoration
|
Show Management has the authority to determine whether placement, arrangement and appearance of all items displayed by the exhibitor are in compliance with the exposition standards. This may require the replacement, rearrangement or redecoration of any item or of any booth. Show Management is not liable for any costs that may be incurred by the exhibitor.
All booth spaces must be fully carpeted or covered. Carpeting enhances your corporate image and continues the overall professional look of the exposition. You may supply your own carpeting or rent it from the official SEMICON Europa supplier, for further information see Contractor Details. All floor coverings must be fire retardant in compliance with local fire department regulations found in the technical order forms or contact the technical department of MESSE DRESDEN.
All decoration materials must be flame-resistant. Evidence must be available and presented upon request.
All materials used for decorations must be flame-retardant and coated pursuant DIN 4102, B1 or DIN EN 13501-1, C. The designation “highly flame-retardant” cannot always be completely achieved for fabric and synthetic materials by means of treatment with flame-protection materials.
A confirmation regarding its highly flame-retardant status (i.e. the prescribed manner for chemical treatment) must be kept available at all times in the exhibition booths.
In the event that doubt should arise regarding the effectiveness of said chemical treatment, particularly when this was executed a long time ago, a test for flame-resistance shall be undertaken with a small specimen piece. If it is found that the tested material/fabric is not in compliance with security regulations, it is to be removed immediately by the exhibitor at his expense.
|
Disabled visitors
|
All disabled people must be given the same opportunities as able-bodied persons. This includes the ability to attend exhibitions and look at any of the exhibits. We would ask that you ensure that your booth and exhibits are easily accessible to those disabled visitors with wheelchairs. Any booth with a platform should provide an appropriate access ramp.
|
Distribution of promotional material / Displays
|
Exhibitors must remain within their own exhibit space when distributing literature, product samples, or other materials. Company information dissemination or promotion in any way is strictly forbidden at show entrances, registration areas, seminar rooms, or public areas within the convention facility or official hotels, which includes hotel room drops. Any flyers, brochures, signs, etc. found in any location other than the exhibiting company's display space will be removed by show management. The only exceptions will be for official event sponsors, at the discretion of show management. Please refer to the Advertising & Promotion section for official opportunities.
Displays must be confined within the exhibitor’s booth and must not be designed to obstruct the clear view of nearby booths or interfere with the flow of traffic example: video monitor(s) should be placed where visitors viewing the monitor(s) do not block the aisle.
Machinery, equipment, or products cannot be shown on a raised/build-up platform or counter if they interfere with height limitations.
|
Electrical installations
|
Electrical supply to the booth and exhibits is 230/400 V, 50 Hz. In order to ensure safety of operations and to prevent the risk of accidents and fire, the relevant legislation, ordinances, technical regulations (e.g. VDE regulations) as well as special conditions and technical guidelines of MESSE DRESDEN GmbH, must be observed. The power supply network terminates before the point connection (plug or terminal connection). The exhibitor is responsible for overall safety of the electrical system from point of connection.
All booths require a main power supply connection and must order it.
The connections shall be equipped with fuse elements and electricity meters according to regulations, as well as the transfer point described on the order form. The customer’s own electrical distributors shall be permitted, but they shall be equipped according to technical regulations (e.g. VDE) and the technical guidelines of MESSE DRESDEN (for example suitable fuse elements and residual current circuit breakers 0.03 A). However, electrical distributors may also be hired separately, if required, from the authorized contractor at an additional charge. You can find the prices for these electrical distributors on the order form or they will be sent to you upon request.
While booth wiring normally is carried out by the authorized contractor, this work may also be done by skilled personnel from the exhibitor’s company. In the latter case the contractor is entitled and obliged to inspect the installation and, against payment of a fee, to authorize connection of the power. Connection will be refused if the wiring is clearly unsatisfactory.
The main terminals may only be installed by the authorized contractor. Exceptions shall not be permitted.
In all cases the exhibitor is responsible for the safety of the system. All electrical connections or fuses used must remain accessible (including floor connection shafts).
Distribution panels to which the power lines of several booths are connected shall be accommodated in cavities if possible. However, if this is only possible on or near a booth, the exhibitor shall accept this. He shall not be entitled to claim any reduction in the booth hire charge.
Claims for compensation by the Exhibitor against MESSE DRESDEN are excluded, irrespective of the reason, including those arising from negligence when concluding the contract or from positive infringements of the contract, unless the loss incurred is due to gross negligence or malice by the legal representatives of LMS, its employees or its vicarious agents. The same applies for direct claims against the aforementioned persons.

Music / Entertainment
|
Exhibitors should be aware that music played in their booth, whether recorded or live, may be subject to laws governing the use of copyrighted compositions Section 15 of the law governing copyrights (“Urheberrechtsgesetz”) of 9 September1965 requires that the approval of GEMA (Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte) be obtained for any music performance at the exhibition booth.
The rate of remuneration for exploiting the copyrights and performance rights will depend on the method of performance of the music and/or the size of the booth. GEMA will invoice the exhibitor for the royalties.
Please fill in the appropriate form located in the online checklist.

Noise and odors
|
Exhibitors may use sound equipment in their booths as long as the noise level does not disrupt the activities of the neighbouring exhibitors. Speaker and other sound devices should be positioned so as to direct sound into the booth rather than into the aisle. Sound/noise should not exceed 70 decibels, though SEMI Show Management has the right to adjust this level onsite. Exhibits producing objectionable odours will not be allowed.
|
Obstruction of aisles
|
Exhibitors may not conduct demonstrations or activities, which result in excessive obstruction of aisles or prevent ready access to neighbouring exhibitors' booths. Demonstrations are to be straightforward, professional, and relative to the displayed product. The use of demonstrators, gimmicks, mimes, magicians, robots, etc., in the aisles is prohibited at all times. Products or demonstrations must be placed inside the booth boundaries and must not result in aisles being blocked. Equipment/furniture may not be in the aisle at any time.
|
Onsite vehicles

GENERAL SECURITY
Remember that build-up and dismantle periods are particularly sensitive times when thefts (especially handbags and laptop computers) are most likely to occur. Do not leave your booth unattended during those times.
Each exhibitor is responsible for the safety of their goods, materials, equipment and displays at all times. General overall security service will be provided during the exhibition.
