The location of the stand and the stand number

Your stand number and the location of the stand in the hall will be shown in a separate plan, where the locations of any floor drains and columns are also marked. The Finnish Fair Corporation will attach the stand numbers to the fascia, or, if there isn't one, to the wall.

Areas that are left between stands have been marked with crossbars in the plan. Those areas and the space between the back wall of the stand and the wall of the hall must not be used as storage space, on account of fire safety requirements. Fire hydrants must be left readily accessible in accordance with the location plan (they are marked on the map with the symbol ‘PP’).

Stand constructions and height

The standard height of stand constructions ordered from the Finnish Fair Corporation is 250 cm. For construction and decoration solutions that are higher than this, permission is needed. For this, please contact the Technical Coordinator of the exhibition. 

See here for information about additional advertising space and extra-high constructions.

The height of the fascia is 30 cm. In a fascia with a profile structure, the height of the free space is 20 cm.

With constructions higher than 250 cm, the minimum distance from neighbouring stands is two metres, unless the exhibitor makes a written agreement with the neighbouring stand for a different arrangement. This does not apply to exhibits.

Each stand must have outlining walls. Standard wall and profile structures cannot be combined.

General appearance of the stand

Neat and impeccable structures and decorations give the exhibition a customer-friendly general look. A neat, tidy, and well-designed stand will attract visitors.

Stand items and moving elements that are projected onto the walls or the ceiling must stay within the boundaries of the stand. Also, leaflets can be distributed within the stand area.

Pillars

The maximum height of constructions erected around the pillars in the hall is five metres (see the ‘Additional advertising space’ section). Decorations are not to be attached to the pillars or other fixed structures of the hall. If there happens to be pillar at your stand's location, a separate dimensional drawing of the pillar will be provided with the location map of the stand.

Helium balloons

Giving out gas-filled balloons at the stand is not allowed.

Stand electricity

Stand-specific electricity will always be installed to order. Please attach to your electricity order the location drawings for power supplies at the stand.

During the exhibition, electricity supply to the stands will be cut off for the night. If you need electricity during the night at your stand – for example, for IT equipment or a fridge – make sure to order a wall socket with continuous electrical supply.

Attaching the carpet

The stand carpet may be fastened to the hall floor with weak-adhesive tape. Using tape that is hard to detach from the floor is forbidden. After the exhibition, all tape must be removed from the floor.

Raised flooring

If the stand floor is being raised more than 12 cm, the open sides must be equipped with steps or a railing. Please provide drawings of the raised flooring to the event's Technical Coordinator in advance.

Heavy exhibition items

Heavy machines that will be demonstrated in operation must be equipped with a weight-distributing base. Make sure that the audience can view the exhibits at your stand safely and comfortably.
