INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS

In addition, as an exhibitor you are subject in particular to the following event-specific rules

and regulations that are relevant for implementation of the event’s hygiene concept.

The organiser – working closely with Expo Georgia as the operator of the exhibition grounds –

is responsible for the implementation and conscientious observance of the safety and hygiene

regulations on the exhibition grounds that are applicable at the time of the event. As an exhibitor,

you are responsible for implementation and observance at your stand, in the same way that

you are responsible for compliance with regulations governing occupational health and safety

and fire protection. Furthermore, the general and specific Technical Guidelines for the event

continue to apply.

Please update your stand construction concepts to satisfy protection and hygiene regulations.

It should be possible to designate a contact person at your company on request and the contact

details should be available at the exhibition stand

Please have Face masks, face shields for your representers at the desk, gloves, hand sanitizer

and cleaning disinfecting wipes for surfaces.

DISTANCING RULES

Everyone must act in such a way that they do not subject themselves or others to any unnecessary

risk of infection

If necessary, stand planning should allow for larger stands in which less area is occupied by

structures so that as many people as possible can be present on the stand simultaneously

Free-standing exhibits should be surrounded by generous open spaces, where necessary

with markings to help visitors maintain proper distancing

Presentations can take place at the stand (not more than 10 participants) as long as all

distancing and hygiene rules applicable at the time of the event are complied with. As long

as participants are told where to go and viewers are assigned spots.

In the event that exhibits, display cases, counters, displays, screens etc. are placed directly

at the edge of the stand, the exhibitor must ensure that groups of people do not gather in

the aisle

Live/personal product presentations cannot take place directly at the edge of the stand to

ensure that people do not gather in the aisles

Visitor traffic at the exhibition stand must be clearly directed to avoid gatherings of people

Get-togethers are feasible assuming compliance with a distancing and hygiene concept

(including the avoidance of gatherings of people), assigned seating (spaced to ensure proper

distancing) and clearly visible signage detailing the distancing and hygiene measures

Suitable structural measures (e.g. acrylic glass panels) or personal protective equipment

(face masks) must be employed during personal contacts or in meeting areas with tables

and chairs if minimum distancing cannot be maintained. However, a general obligation to

wear a medical mouth and nose protection is, depending on the pandemic situation and the

requirements of the authorities, not lifted.

ACTIVE VISITOR MANAGEMENT

The contact details of all participants are recorded via registration

It is not necessary to record contact details of visitors to the stand

Distancing and hygiene rules may result in delays during set-up and dismantling. That is why

we ask that you take advantage of the entire period offered by Expo Georgia for set-up and

dismantling

A face mask must be worn in all public areas of the building during set-up and dismantling

(aisles, foyers, entrances, toilets etc.). At each stand, however, the regulations of the

SARS-CoV-2 Occupational Safety and Health Standard issued by the Ministry of Health shall

apply.

The exhibitor must instruct all companies (exhibitors, stand constructors, service partners)

participating in a stand to comply with safety and hygiene regulations. Furthermore, everyone

must instruct their personnel regarding occupational health and safety. The resulting

measures are to be incorporated into a safety and hygiene concept in Georgian (in English if

required).

Make sure to contact your stand constructor well in advance regarding the implementation

of protection and hygiene regulations at your stand
