Rules & Regulations

Outboarding and suitcasing are unethical acts that are strictly prohibited.

Outboarding is a commercial activity conducted from a hotel guest room or hospitality suite, a restaurant, club or any other private or public place of assembly. Also known as an outboarded event, this type of activity seeks to capitalise on the investment of established exhibition organisations, such as MWC Doha to drive attendance, build the show brand and attract exhibitors to the outboarded event. This act is strictly prohibited during MWC Doha.

Suitcasing is a practice on the part of any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces of the Event or in another Exhibitor’s stand.  In order to distribute information to and conduct business with attendees of the Event, you must have purchased Event space (e.g. exhibition or hospitality) within the Event venue. All materials must be distributed from your purchased space and not in the public areas of the venue or from another Exhibitor’s space.
