Get the edition right.
Identify the organiser, show edition, venue, hall, stand number and stand type. DWTC says the event organiser and exhibitor manual are the first point of contact for services.
DWTC Exhibitor Guidance ↗A considered stand.
A venue-aware plan.
Start with the event organiser’s current manual. Then resolve the services, technical requirements and responsibilities that apply to your stand and hall.
Plan suspended elements early.
DWTC identifies DXB Live as the sole provider of top and primary rigging. Its rigging guidance names the stand contractor as the first contact. Coordinate suspended features through that route.
DWTC Rigging Guidance ↗Resolve utilities with the layout.
DWTC says the stand contractor works with its utilities team to plan the required services. Bring power, water, waste and compressed-air needs into the technical scope as applicable.
DWTC Utilities Guidance ↗Confirm the submission route.
Use the current event manual to establish the required design and technical submissions, safety documentation, review route, charges, deadlines and approval evidence. Confirm written permission before any activity that requires it.
