For exhibitors at this year's conference, we've put together an information pack which should
provide you with all the material you need to know prior to the event. We'd
like to thank all who have made the commitment to exhibit, and look forward to
seeing you all in October!
If you are not an exhibitor, please
refer to this page
for delegate information.
All exhibitors need to register before arriving onsite at the event. There are still some opportunities to exhibit remaining.
If you want to register as an exhibitor or displayer and have not yet done so, booking and payment forms can be found at the end of this document.
Once you have read and filled in the forms, please email them as a scanned PDF to conference@busandcoach.co.nz ASAP.
A Reception desk will be open in the Wai Ora Foyer at the Energy Events Centre from 3pm on Wednesday 4th October for each exhibitor to pick up their lanyard and registration pack. Entry to the exhibition during conference days is by lanyard only. No Lanyard = No Entry for the days of the conference.
What does my exhibitor registration include?
A standard exhibitor registration includes access to the exhibition area, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and happy hour throughout the duration of conference.
Social events are not included in the exhibitor registration, but can be added by logging in here using the credentials sent to you via email upon making your original booking.
There will be no on the day social event sales.
You are entitled to one complimentary exhibitor (i.e. one person to man your trade stand) with each space you have booked. If you plan on having more than one person manning your stand, you'll need to register them as an extra exhibitor here.
Courier
Deliveries
All deliveries for exhibitors need to
be arranged to arrive within the week of conference (i.e. week commencing Monday
2nd October). Please do not send it earlier as the Energy Events
Centre has other events on and cannot appropriately store your delivery.
To ensure your delivery is received and stored correctly, it is imperative you fill out and attach this Exhibition Delivery Label template to your shipment. Ensure you include your stand number.
The
BCANZ or Energy Events Centre will not be liable to pay any damages and will
not take responsibility for any lost, damaged or forgotten deliveries.
Those of you entitled to include promotional material in the delegate conference satchels need to ensure material is sent separately to our Auckland address outlined on this Satchel Insert Delivery Label. Do this by printing out the delivery label and attaching to your package.
If the above label is not used, or does not arrive by the 2nd October, you run the risk of having no material in these bags. Please ensure you send 320 copies of any insert items you are using.
On Site Storage
Storage is strictly limited. If any storage is required before,
during or after the event this must be arranged prior to ensure we can allocate
this. This will be entirely dependent on space availability.
Transfer and storage of all items is the responsibility of the
exhibitor. Exhibitors must ensure labour is supplied to move large items to &
from the loading docks. Venue staff will not be responsible.

For
Display Vehicles (Both Indoor & Outdoor):
There will be a different schedule for your pack in time with detailed times for each individual company to avoid congestion.
As we are packing in as another conference is packing out, keeping to
these times is crucial so if you have any specific times on the Wednesday
(after 12.30pm) that you would prefer to be allocated for arrival please email conference@busandcoach.co.nz ASAP otherwise you will be allocated an arrival time.
Once display vehicles are parked correctly and engines are switched off,
they must remain so for the duration of conference.
Health
& Safety
All exhibitors are required to fill out this Venue Health & Safety Checklist and return it to conference@busandcoach.co.nz by the 27th September.
There is a strict no entry policy to
the display & exhibitor space following pack in until you have had your
health and safety briefing. There will be no exceptions.
All electrical equipment used must be
appropriately tested and have a current compliance tag attached. A qualified
electrician will be on site during pack in, but please ensure necessary checks
have been taken beforehand.
Pack Out

on Friday, which ends at 1.15pm. We welcome you to attend the lunch in the
plenary room and then pack down after lunch (2.45pm) but this is up to you. PEEK

Parking
Once the outdoor vehicle displays are
in place, this will fill the majority of the car parking space for the duration
of conference, so we encourage walking between the venue and hotels (within a 5-minute
walk).

arranged for mornings and evenings (transfer details to be sent in due course).
Should you need to leave your car parked at the Energy Events Centre, we ask that
you park in the same car park you have used during pack in.
Catering
All
catering during the conference will be held amongst the exhibition booths to
maximize exposure and opportunities between delegates and yourselves. The
exception to this is lunch on Friday, which is a sit-down lunch in the main
conference room.
We
encourage you all to take part and come and listen to our celebrity speaker: Liam Malone. This will take place from 1.15 pm.
