All exhibitors and sponsors must register in advance of the conference. Badges can be picked up at the conference. Please visit the event
registration desk in the main hall of the venue during set up times. Badges should be worn at all times and must only be allocated and
used by those registered. These are valid at all times during the event including setup and breakdown. To register, please visit the
Breakbulk Turkey 2014 event website at REGISTER HERE! If you need registration assistance, please contact Ms. Joanna Lenck,
Registration & Customer Service Manager at [email protected].
DISABLED FACILITIES & ACCESS
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Breakbulk Events & Media will make all reasonable efforts to
accommodate persons with disabilities at its event (even though this congress is based in Brazil).
Please ensure that you allow adequate and appropriate facilities on your stand for disabled visitors.
EVACUATION PROCEDURES
In the event of an emergency evacuation please follow the instructions of venue and event staff. You will be directed to the assembly point
outside the main building.
SPONSOR MATERIALS & GUIDELINES
Distribution of Promotional Material
The distribution of gifts, samples, leaflets and catalogs will be permitted only within stands, and the Organizer reserves the right to block
such distribution at any time when it may cause bottlenecks or disturbances. For all planned forms of promotional distribution outside
stand areas, the exhibitor/sponsor should confer with the commercial department of the event to find out about options for merchandising
and sponsorship. If distribution of promotional material is granted, you must bring written notice of this approval with you onsite.
Page 9
This manual is subject to change at the discretion of the event organiser.
Employment of Minors
If an exhibitor/sponsor needs people under 16 years of age to work during the Event, they should provide a letter of authorization from the
parents, signed by both, with recognized signatures, Xerox copy of RG and CPF of the parents, birth certificate or RG of the minor, as well
as a contract signed by the exhibitor/sponsor and the minor.
Contracting of Stand Personnel
Any and all services contracted by the exhibitor/sponsor should be in accordance with current legislation. For the use of freelancers, these
should be registered with city authorities and the INSS, and a Fiscal Note for the provision of services should be supplied. For contracting
companies, as well as the normal service provision contract, the exhibitor/sponsor should request a statement that the personnel supplied
are accordingly standardized or registered with the company. If these procedures are not carried out, the exhibitor/sponsor will be subject
to a fine by the Regional Labor Office.
Inspection by the Ministry of Labor and the Federal Police
Due to frequent operations by the Ministry of Labor fairs, we are issuing this information with the aim of clarifying some issues and give
guidance to exhibitors/sponsor to avoid difficulties in regards to the documentation of the professionals that will be providing services on
the stands. The Ministry of Labor, with the aim of standardizing differences in the contracting of workers, has carried out actions with
inspection teams in the operational area of the fair, for reasons of guidance and inspection. We remind you that a company contracting
services can be considered as having dual responsibility for their obligations in matters pertaining to employment, and they should
therefore stipulate that their service providers provide proof of being regularized, as a safeguard against any potential claims, in regard to
the contracting of receptionists, waiters, stand security personnel (security guards), cleaners, stand assemblers and employees and
companies providing services to make sure they comply with the legislation in force.
STORAGE
There are no storage facilities at the venue for exhibitors/sponsors. Please ensure that you account for adequate storage facilities within
your exhibition stand space.
VISAS FOR FOREIGNERS
It is recommended to check at the Turkish Embassy, Consulate or Representation in your country regarding the need of visas to come
to Turkey.
Official and diplomatic passport holders traveling on official business must obtain a visa before arriving in Turkey.
If traveling as a tourist, you may purchase a 90-day sticker visa at the port of entry for 20.00 (EURO) cash only at the airport. You can
also get your visa through e-Visa. For more information please visit https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/.
For Turkey visa information for foreigners, please visit:
http://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa
For Turkey visa fees at border gates, please visit:
http://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-fees-at-border-gates-for-2010.en.mfa
(please make sure you have EURO cash for on-site payment)
The best source of information about Visas is the Turkish diplomatic representation in your own country; please visit the Republic of
Turkey Ministry of Foreign Affairs website: http://www.mfa.gov.tr/default.en.mfa
