IAEE Updates Best Practices for Exhibition Rules
November 23, 2015The International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) has release an updated version of “Best Practices for Exhibition Rules.” Originally released in 2009, the publication outlines best practices of the exhibitions and events industry in terms of general practices, exhibit space, contract management, display rules and conduct.
The rules and regulations that govern exhibitions and similar buyer/seller events define how buyers and sellers will interact with each other on and off the show floor. Exhibition rules must be designed to protect the integrity of the exhibition and/or event itself as well as provide a level playing field for all exhibitors and attendees. Exhibition rules form the basis of participation by all in the event, and are therefore exceedingly important.
“This year, our task force of a cross section of the professionals in our industry updated the outstanding document first produced in 2009,” said Wayne Crawford, the chairperson of the 2015 IAEE Best Practices for Show Rules Task Force. “We’ve also added the beginnings of a section on event technologies, which are becoming ever more important in today’s events world. This document provides both inexperienced and experienced event producers with a starting point, as well as points of reference, for best practices for interaction with a very critical part of the events ecosystem: the exhibitor.”
Best Practices for Exhibition Rules is available at no cost to IAEE members and can be purchased by non-members for $149 at www.tradeshowstore.com.
