Raised Floor / Platform
Please note that if your booth has a platform/raised floor of any height, you are required to provide a ramp or sloped edging around the entire booth to ensure access for people with wheelchair or limited mobility.
The raised floor sides must be closed and finished neatly. The edges must be safe, secured and easily visible to avoid trip hazard.
For your reference, see below examples of raised floor with sloping edges:

Our team will be conducting inspections onsite to ensure all booths comply with this accessibility policy. In the event that a raised platform booth lacks a ramp or sloped edging, we regret to inform you that your booth will not be approved for operation until the access issue is rectified.
Exhibitors intending to install a raised floor or platform within their booth space are required to notify the organizer and the CCIB, when submitting their booth drawings for approval. This notification is essential as services like electricity, water, and internet are mostly provided through floor-based cabling. Raised floor or platform installation must, therefore, be scheduled after the relevant cabling work is completed. Please ensure these points remain accessible at all times. Please note that once the raised floor is installed, we cannot accommodate service requests requiring access beneath the floor.

Important Guidelines for Shell Scheme Booths

- Exhibitors are not allowed to make any alterations to the structure of the booths or remove any integral parts from the booths. Exhibitors wishing to remove or change the location of any standard equipment within the shell scheme booth should indicate clearly on the location plan and forward it together with clear instructions to the official stand contractor and the Exhibition Manager before Monday, 26 January.
- No free-standing stand-fitting or display(s) may exceed a height of 2.5m or extend beyond the boundaries of your booth. This includes company names, advertising materials, flags and logos provided by the exhibitor.
- It is not allowed under any circumstances to cut, nail or drill into or through the walls, facia, floor or ceiling.
- Please do not use any adhesive products that may leave marks or cause damage to the panels and booth structure. Booth must be returned in the same condition in which it was received. Any damage to booth structure will be invoiced to the exhibitor.
- No painting is allowed; no usage of nails or screws.
- Double sided tape can be used to affix lightweight items as long as it does not leave mark or cause damage to the panels and booth structure. Velcro can be used as well (male & female).
- It is possible to use fishing line (nylon) to hang pictures etc.
- An exhibitor occupying a booth at the corner can request to close the additional side(s). If the official stand contractor and the Exhibition Manager is not being notified in writing before Monday, 26 January – it will be assumed that the exhibitor will have opening on the additional side(s).
- A back wall of a booth (any booth type) cannot be used by other exhibitors.

- A scaled drawing (scaled 1:200 DWG), including elevation views of the proposed booth to be built.
- Electrical connections – a list of all appliances.
- Other utility connections such as water, drainage are subject to availability and must be checked with the Exhibition Manager prior to submitting the designs.
- The name and contact details of the construction company.
- Floor type and height
Please submit the files through the Kenes Exhibitor’s Portal: https://exhibitorportal.kenes.com.
Design Guidelines:
- All exhibits are to be displayed to avoid blocking aisles, obstructing adjoining booths, or damaging the premises.
Exhibition material that is placed outside the booth will be removed at the exhibitor’s expense. - Exhibitors are kindly requested to allow sufficient see-through areas that ensure clear views of surrounding exhibits. Entire sideway walls will not be approved.
- Island booths (those with four open sides) should be partly accessible on all sides. We try to keep the exhibition as open and inviting as possible. Wall construction along aisles is permitted, but the wall should not exceed 1/3 (one-third) of the total side length.
Special considerations for partial exemption may be granted upon written request to the Exhibition Manager, subject to review of the proposed booth design and its impact on the surrounding area. - Construction finish must be perfect in all the booth’s visible areas, including booth ceiling and rear sides. Special attention must be paid to the finish and aesthetics of the booth’s top surfaces (ceiling) and all upper/rear structural components. This is critical as the booth is likely to be viewed from the upper floor, meaning these areas will be directly exposed to the participants’s line of sight.
- Raised floor/platform: Please note that if your booth has a raised floor or platform of any height, you are required to provide a ramp or sloped edging around the entire booth to ensure access for people with wheelchair or limited mobility.
The platform/ raised floor sides must be closed off and neatly finished. The platform edges must be safe, secured and easily visible to avoid trip hazard.
Sharp edges and corners should be avoided, potentially through the use of beveled edges.
For your reference, see below examples of raised floor with sloping edges:

Our team will be conducting inspections onsite to ensure all booths comply with this accessibility policy. In the event that a raised platform booth lacks a ramp or sloped edging, we regret to inform you that your booth will not be approved for operation until the access issue is rectified.
Before placing the platform, the exhibitor or stand builder must confirm that all services (electricity, water, internet, cables, etc.) provided by the CCIB are correctly positioned.
If a platform is used, access to service points (water traps, electricity traps, etc.) must be maintained and kept accessible.
Once the platform is installed, no additional under-platform services will be accepted.
Stages or platforms over 0.5m high are not allowed.
- All structural back walls of adjacent booths must be properly decorated. For back walls (reverse side) exceeding 2.5 meters in height, a neutral white or gray finish is required – no wiring, graphics, or logos. This mainly applies to booths with a shared border (back-to-back or side-by-side).
- Advertising on the boundary with other booths is prohibited.
- A back wall of a booth (including shell scheme booths) cannot be used by other exhibitors.
- Multilevel structures are not permitted.
- Arches, bridges or similar construction connecting two or more booths are not permitted.
- The maximum height for walls within the booth is up to 4 meters.
- Ceiling hanging is permitted. Please refer to section “Hall Specifications and Important Technical Information“.
- Special care must be taken to ensure that the visitors will be inside the booth and not standing in the aisle. For example:

The CCIB will check that the official CCIB electrical switchboard are not removed from the booth.
The exhibitors must name the person responsible for the stand’s electric installation project.
Power comes from the floor.
It is essential that exhibitor order the power needed in the stand. The exhibitor is responsible for calculating the necessary power supply based on the elements that need to be connected, together with the request for the necessary voltage (220V or 380V). Check the label on your appliance to find its power usage. Damage caused to the main or to specific points by these connections is the sole responsibility of the exhibitors/stand builders.
At the end of the day all lights in the stands must be turned off for safety and sustainability reasons.
The CCIB provides power supply in the exhibition area during the official exhibition times only. At the end of the day main electrical sources will be switch off.
The stand manager must ensure that the stand lights are off before leaving the building.

Regardless of the second electrical switchboard, the booth manager will have to make sure the lights are turned off. In opposite case, the general lighting will be switched off and the second switchboard order for 24 hours will be disconnected.
- In case that the stand builder brings his own electrical switchboard, (which has to be connected to the CCIB switchboard) it is mandatory to indicate which power line goes to the booth lights, so the booth manager knows which switcher has to be turned off at the end of the day, and which line has to remain on to provide power to the connected elements.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

- Electrical switchboard will ALWAYS be delivered in the booth floor. Stand builder /exhibitor must check how to place it inside the booth to be accessible.
- When a group of stands have to share power from a service chest there will be an electrical switchboard (distributor) delivered in the space of one of the stands. The electrical switchboards of each stand must be connected to the distributor. The exhibitor will be notified in this case.
- Distribution switchboards must be accessible at all times.
- To provide power supply to a booth that does not have power box in its own exhibition space, electrical cables will go from the nearest switchboard or Service Chest available, going through aisles or across other booths.
- If a booth orders more power supply than the power available, the extra power supply will be provided from the closest switchboard or Service Chest, going through aisles or across other booths if necessary.
- When the total power of all electrical switchboards used in the project reaches a minimum of 49KW, an electrical project must be carried out. This is a mandatory study to ensure that the set of switchboards used in the project are safe.
- The availability of power, and the installation of the electrical switchboard, is included in the price of electrical switchboard.
