Noise Policy

The Organisers reserve the right to limit the use of sound systems to certain times of the day and/or switch off the source of any noise if exhibitors are found to be non-compliant or overly obtrusive. The Organisers also reserve the right to curtail or ban demonstrations if complaints are received. 

Rules 

If you plan to deliver presentations or product demonstrations on your stand, we strongly recommend providing attendees with headsets to minimise noise disruption to neighbouring exhibitors.

Any exhibitors wishing to feature presentations, demonstrations, simulations or devices producing noise must adhere to the following rules and regulations: 

  • Any equipment, presentations, demonstrations, simulations or devices producing noise must not disturb neighbouring exhibitors or visitors. 
  • All noise originating from an exhibit must always be set at a reasonable level and must not exceed 3 dB above background noise, measured from 3 m distance to the stand. This applies to stands inside and outside. 
  • Out of respect for fellow exhibitors, demonstrations that generate noise should be kept to a minimum. 
  • Any speakers or sound equipment within an exhibiting stand must be positioned to face inside the stand space, not towards the aisle or a neighbouring stand, in order to minimise the amount of noise or distraction towards aisles and neighbouring exhibits. 
  • Any audio or visual productions being played within an exhibit must be positioned to minimise the amount of noise or distraction towards aisles and neighbouring exhibits. 
  • Exhibitors are advised to download a volume meter app in order to keep control of the volume. 
  • Exhibitors playing music or showing videos should also refer to the Copyrights section. 

Microphone use

If you intend to use wireless microphones, you are responsible for obtaining the appropriate frequency licence in advance of the event. Microphones without the required licence will not be permitted for use onsite.
