DELIVERIES & SET UP Upon arrival, to set up at the exhibition centre, please make your way to the Arena 2 area located directly behind the main reception of the GCCEC. The conference registration desk will be set up outside Arena 2 within foyer C. At least one of your crew is required to check in with conference staff prior to commencing the setup of your booth. If you are personally delivering items at the Arena loading dock there will be a loading dock marshal to control parking/unloading on dock between the bump in hours of 2:00pm – 6:00pm and can be accessed from the Gold Coast Highway at the northern end of the GCCEC. Please refer to Appendix 6 for the GCCEC delivery access map. Goods delivered to the centre via courier or freight company (other than a logistics company) can be accepted by the conference centre staff however must also include a Delivery Label Form found in Appendix 2. Please ensure all deliveries occur between 2:00pm – 6:00pm on the day of bump-in (Tuesday 24 March). For pallets or heavy equipment a fork lift has been arranged to assist in the loading dock area, free of charge. This will only be available between 2:00pm and 6:00pm during the bump in on Tuesday 24 March. Your equipment will be transferred directly to your exhibition booth. The same service will be available during the bump out on Thursday (26 March) between 4:00pm and 5:00pm. Once at your booth please ensure all your hired equipment has been included, your power and lighting is present and your fascia sign is correct. If there are any problems Moreton Hire staff will be on site to assist. At the conclusion of the event all materials must be taken off-site. The GCCEC will not have space to store your goods and cannot be held liable for them. Please arrange for the return of your materials prior to the event. For ease a freight logistics company of choice (JME Exhibitions & Events) has been secured (see pages 15 & 16). SAFETY & SECURITY Due to the use of a forklift during the bump in everyone on site will be required to wear a high visibility safety vest. You must bring your own vest as without it you will not be permitted to enter the area. Vests may be purchased when onsite from the reception desk. Please ensure all your electrical equipment has been tested and tagged. If not a qualified technician will be on site to perform this for you free of charge. They will be on site during the designated bump in period (2:00pm to 6:00pm). Should you need to store any empty boxes, pallets or crates for the duration of the conference there will be space behind booths 29 & 30. We ask that you be mindful of safety in the placement of your materials and that they are placed out of sight from the main exhibition floor. Once all packing materials have been stored this area will be closed off for the duration of the event.

INCLUSIONS All exhibitors will receive their name badge and dinner ticket(s) (if attending) and a copy of the conference program upon arrival and check in at the registration desk on the first day of the conference. In addition all exhibiting organisations may receive a delegate satchel and/or tradeshow bag (pending availability). A complimentary access pass into the presentations will be provided to each exhibition booth (i.e. two passes if you have two booths). You are encouraged to use these passes as much as possible. The pass will be generic for your organisation so any exhibition booth staff can use them. They must be accompanied by a valid exhibitors pass to gain access. CATERING Exhibition booth staff catering will be provided within the Exhibitors Lounge, located behind the delegate catering in Central Room A. To access this area you will need your exhibitors name badge. Within you will find continuous tea, coffee and water, with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea available 30 minutes prior to the scheduled breaks in the conference program. This is to permit you time to eat prior to the breaks allowing you to better communicate with the delegates. Although delegate catering will also be served in Central Room A, this will be a controlled area and delegates will be directed back into the exhibition space to eat all meals. Should you have any specific dietary requirements please advise the conference organisers prior to arrival at the conference so arrangements can be made (via [email protected]). DRESS CODE During the conference delegates are advised to wear business attire or smart casual clothing. The conference dinner function is black tie optional, which means suites for men and evening wear for women.

EXHIBITOR TERMS & CONDITIONS SCHEDULE ADHERENCE All exhibitors must adhere to the pre-established schedule provided within their exhibitor’s kit. The set up times cannot be extended due to agreements with the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. Should you require additional time to set up your exhibition booth beyond the provided four hours please contact the conference coordinator to make special access arrangements. The same requirements apply to the pack down of your exhibition booth. Due to the open hours of the exhibition Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) requirements prevent the movement of any equipment through the space until all attendees have departed the hall. No access to the loading dock or its equipment will be permitted. Similarly, couriers and trollies will not be permitted into the hall until the conclusion of the event. It is also a requirement that all exhibitors adhere to the timelines associated with the payment of their balance and the provision of required information. This is to ensure the planning of the conference is not hindered by sending reminders and follow up emails to obtain these items. Refer to the provided schedule for these deadlines. EXHIBITOR PRESENTATIONS Exhibitors planning to submit a presentation for consideration within the exhibition presentation and café area must do so by the stipulated deadline. The selection and placement of the presentations is at the discretion of the Fire Australia 2015 organisers. Should a successful presenter not be able to provide the final slides by the stipulated deadline the presentation position may be provided to an alternate exhibitor. The exhibitor presenter must provide all their contact details prior to the conference and check-in at the registration desk well in advance of their presentation time slot for a speaker briefing. The slides provided will be placed on the Delegates’ Proceedings USB, unless requested otherwise. CODE OF CONDUCT It is a condition of entry that any and all exhibition staff will conduct themselves in a safe, professional and polite manner while in attendance at Fire Australia 2015. This includes any and all areas associated with the event, including, but not limited to the exhibition hall, conference halls, registration area and meeting rooms. There is also an expectation that attendees will dress and present themselves in a neat and professional manner. This code of conduct also extends to visiting colleagues, clients and delegates. Any behaviour deemed to be in conflict with this code may result in the expulsion of the offending individual(s) from the event. FPA Australia has the sole right to restrict, remove or alter any activity that it deems not to be in the spirit or intent of the conference. All staff attending your booth must check in at the registration desk to obtain their name tag. No access will be permitted to the exhibition hall without a name tag, therefore to ensure ease of access please submit your staff order form by the stipulated deadline.

PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES The activities you undertake at Fire Australia 2015 to promote your organisation, its products and services must be considered safe, reasonable and appropriate. A full WHS review of the exhibition space will be conducted at the conclusion of the set up. Any equipment or materials deemed to be hazardous must be amended or removed prior to the commencement of the conference. To avoid ambush marketing any and all promotional activities must be contained within the purchased exhibition booth space, unless prior approval has been granted. Excessive noise will not be accepted. Hand out materials beyond small samples and paper will require pre-approval. Excessive placement of branded vehicles, personnel and materials in and around the conference venue will also be deemed as ambush marketing. Your promotional activates must also be professional in their nature. This precludes activities considered blasphemous, insulting, lewd, racist, discriminatory or inappropriate in any way. Any organisation considered to be in breach of this will be asked to cease the activity in question. CUSTOM STANDS Any exhibitor who wishes to build a custom stand must submit all designs to FPA Australia for pre-approval. FPA Australia reserves the right to reject any plans deemed inappropriate. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY The organisers – FPA Australia – and the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre 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 case whatsoever prior to, during and subsequent to the period covered by the exhibition contract. On contracting for an exhibition booth, the exhibitor expressly releases the organisers and the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from, and agrees to indemnify same against any and all claims for such direct loss, damage or injury. In addition, exhibitors shall indemnify and hold blameless the organisers and contractors from all liability, damage and accident, which might ensue from any cause resulting or connected with the transportation, placing, removal or display of exhibits. All display equipment must be flameproof, no attachments or defacement to walls, floor or ceiling is permitted and all exhibition content is subject to approval by the organisers and the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre and must remain within the exhibition area for the duration of the conference. Prior written consent must be obtained for dangerous substances, flammable liquids, gas and/or naked flames, live animals, external audio/visual services, sound amplification equipment, filming, generators and the sale or supply of alcohol, refreshment, food or merchandise. It is strongly recommended that all exhibitors cover their equipment, exhibits and display material with adequate insurance at the exhibitor’s own expense. SECURITY The exhibition hall security will operate between 6:00am and 10:00pm. Should you have any specific equipment or materials you would prefer to lock away or have additional security for, this will be at the exhibitor’s own expense.

FREIGHT LOGISTICS *This Information is provided by JME Exhibitions & Events How can JME assist you with your freight, transportation and on-site requirements at the Exhibition/Show? It’s easy. We simply communicate with you by both email and telephone and:
1. We provide you with a quote based on the information you give us from our quote request form.
2. We confirm all details with you. 3. We arrange all your freight/transportation and onsite requirements on your behalf
allowing you to get on with the business of organising your participation at the event. Is JME different to other Freight Carriers? JME has personnel onsite, throughout the exhibition move in and move out time frames. We deliver into the exhibition, from your door, straight to your stand, and prior to your arrival on site. There is no need for you to hang around once the exhibition is over to arrange to have your freight collected. We can organise all of that for you. There may well be some changes during the exhibition. We are there to assist you during any change, whatever the time of day. We pride ourselves on our level of communication and will always keep you updated with the status of your freight and any other show related issue. In summary, we are price competitive, service orientated and keep our promise to consistently deliver excellence. Can we help with storage before and after the event? Definitely. During our discussions with you, we will try to determine your full requirements so a complete package can be developed and mutually agreed. What if I wish to use another freight carrier? Yes, you can still use their service. However, should you still require onsite services such as forklifts, this will need to be booked in with us. This service is supplied by the Organiser for exhibitors only and we ask that you still book this with us, in order that we may manage the labour levels during move in and out. If you are not onsite during your delivery by your freight carrier, neither JME , the Organisers nor the venue will be able to sign on your behalf. It is extremely important that clear instructions on the move out, are given to your carrier as any products left on the premises after the date/time specified in the manual will be freighted offsite and stored, at your expense, until collected. JME nor the organisers will take any responsibility for loss or damage on any freight left outside of the tenancy period. JME do urge you to obtain a quote from us – we know you may be surprised at how competitive we are, more importantly we will give you peace of mind, knowing that your product will be onsite at your stand when you arrive and delivered back to you without extra costs and without extra delays, regardless of move out times. As an added bonus, we have priority access during the move in/out time frames. Do I have to advise JME of freight supplier and delivery details if we don’t use you? Absolutely. The very nature of the exhibition environment means that the dock and inside the exhibition is constantly busy. By advising us of your schedule, we will be able to manage peak times appropriately.

These machines accept both cash and credit card. A 30 minute grace period applies to all vehicles, whereby payment is not required. Should this period be exceeded, a $10.00 fee will apply. Car parking will revert to a manual system on occasions where high volume traffic is expected (i.e. concerts and entertainment events) to avoid major delays and traffic congestion. LOADING DOCKS The GCCEC has five (5) loading docks which can be accessed from the Gold Coast Highway at the northern end of the GCCEC. Please refer to the site plan on Page 26. Goods will not be accepted at any other point.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT Should construction of stands and exhibits create a potential smoke-locked area or create an area not serviceable by the existing sprinkler systems, the Management of GCCEC may require the smoke detection, emergency lighting and exit lighting systems be extended to cover the stand and/or exhibit areas. Please access the Events Health and Safety Guidelines – Section 3.23 Page 18.
