Ordering and picking up ID cards and parking permits

Exhibitors (after paying their space rental fee) will receive ID cards for the duration of the exhibition, which entitle the exhibitor to free access to the exhibition area. The number of cards depends on the size of the stand. You can check the number of cards and order more if necessary from your own registration.

The card is personal. Not for those under 16 years of age. The card must be displayed when moving around the exhibition area. The card is also valid on the official construction and dismantling days of the exhibition (12/08 and 17/08.)

Instructions for filling out ID cards

  • The stand number, name and company are written on the card
  • After this, a photo of the person measuring approx. 3 cm x 3.5 cm is placed in the space reserved for the photo.
    • NOTE! The photo can also be copied from, for example, a driver’s license or passport (the user must be identifiable from the photo).
  • Finally, the photo is attached to the card with a laminating sticker.

The exhibitor card is only official when properly filled out and with a photo, and it must be displayed at all times when moving around the exhibition area.

Parking Permits
