GENERAL GUIDELINES

You’ve been selected to exhibit at Do Not Disturb because you are a leader in private travel. Follow these guidelines and make sure your show experience is seamless.

• Keep your stand neat and tidy at all times
• Avoid eating at your stand where possible, as this does not look appealing to visitors
• Do not leave your stand unattended, as this might lead you to miss appointments
• Please arrive at your stand on time
• Make sure you wear your exhibitor badge and security bracelet at all times to allow for easy access to the venue
• Please be courteous to Buyers and other Exhibitors participating in the show at all times, as your attitude will reflect on the perception of your company

PLEASE NOTE: All efforts to advertise, demonstrate and operate an exhibition must be conducted so as not to infringe on the rights of other exhibitors. No exhibit will be permitted to interfere with the use of other exhibits or impede access to them or the free use of the aisles. Do Not Disturb management and Borgo Egnazia reserves the right to limit and/or restrict operations, which, for any reason, might be considered objectionable, without any liability for refund and/or damage.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

ASSUMPTION OF RISK FOR EXHIBITORS AND COMPULSORY THIRD PARTY/PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

It should be understood by the Exhibitor that the nature of the facilities available, presence and circulation of large numbers of people, difficulty of effective supervision over the protection of large numbers of removable articles in stands and various other factors make it reasonable that each Exhibitor shall assume the risk of any injury, loss and/or damage to themselves or a third party. It is a requirement for Do Not Disturb exhibitors and sub-exhibitors to have a public liability insurance cover for a minimum of Euro 10 million valid in Italy for the duration of the show.

Unless you have asked us otherwise, Do Not Disturb has automatically added a Public Liability administration fee of Euro 400 to your invoice in order to ensure that you are added to the insurance policy of the show and therefore correctly covered.

This Public Liability Insurance will cover you if you or your business operation accidentally injures someone. It will also cover you if you damage third party property while at the venue during the course of the event.

If you have any questions regarding the Public Liability Insurance please contact donotdisturb@thisisbeyond.com

RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTED EXHIBITORS TOWARDS THE PROMOTION OF TRAVEL PRODUCTS

The Exhibitor shall notify Do Not Disturb of the name and contact details of each stand sharer or product intended to be displayed or promoted at the show no later than 120 days prior to the start of the exhibition, to ensure that they conform to Do Not Disturb’s theme and show profile. Do Not Disturb is entitled to cancel the Contract if it considers, at its sole discretion, that the products or services promoted or showcased by the Exhibitor or any person sharing a stand do not fit the profile of the Exhibition and/or venue guidelines.

Do Not Disturb will always communicate with the contracted Exhibitor directly. It is the responsibility of the contracted Exhibitor to propagate all information received, and to make sure that all delegates present at the show respect deadlines and the terms and conditions of the contract.

The Exhibitor shall be deemed to act as agent in respect of each stand sharer, who shall be bound by these terms accordingly. In the event that any stand sharer fails to comply with these terms or otherwise defaults in its obligations to This Is Beyond, the Exhibitor shall be liable for all losses, liabilities and costs incurred by Do Not Disturb arising from such non-compliance or default.

In order to ensure a productive and safe exhibiting environment please make sure you follow these simple guidelines. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

WHAT TO WEAR

Italy in November can be cool with a little rain, although often sunny days, evenings can be cooler dropping as low as 5°C this autumnal season.

All participants are encouraged to dress in Business Casual. There will be off-site lunch excursions where you will need comfortable shoes, sunglasses and maybe a hat (In true This is Beyond style these will remain a surprise).

There will also be daily Morning Activities including Yoga, Cycle, Hike and Padel, so please bring active wear if you plan to participate in these.

It wouldn’t be a This is Beyond event without at least one glamorous evening, so be sure to pack an outfit for our Secret Garden Closing Party. We can’t wait to see you all looking ‘Blooming Marvellous!’

WIFI

WiFi will be provided free of charge throughout the venue.

SMOKING

No smoking is permitted inside at Borgo Egnazia. Please exit the building to smoke.
