The best results come from being prepared. Make sure your stand looks good, your staff are on time and ready to do business, but most of all set goals and have processes to follow up leads after the show. See ‘Questions about Stand Fit-out & Electrical Services’ in the InfoPack.

It is highly recommended you pre-book parking, especially for weekdays. Under a special arrangement with the City of Perth, we can help you to purchase all-day, multiple-entry parking passes. See “Questions about Parking’ in the InfoPack. (Closer to the event, we will provide a parking order form.)
Generally, no storage is available at the PCEC, but in some circumstances it may be possible to provide assistance. See ‘Questions about Materials Handling’ in the InfoPack.
It is important you are familiar with the loading bay procedures at the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre. See ‘Questions about Move-in’ in the InfoPack.
No. The way you conduct your stand is completely up to you. However, the best results will be achieved by having someone present at your stand before, during and well after all opening hours. (Often, the best contacts are made at the end of the day.)
A ‘standard shell scheme package’ includes the walls, carpet, power, lights and a fascia with your company name. If a ‘space-only’, ‘back-wall and carpet’ or ‘partial shell scheme package’ is ordered some or all of these elements are excluded.

See ‘Questions about Insurance, Access & Security’ and ‘Questions about Stand Design & Activities’ and ‘Questions about Support Services” in the InfoPack.
