Company Participation

Possible ways of company participation at the annual congress:

You can register your company and order participation at your congress webpage.

The orders for the above mentioned will be only possible through the online registration system (My account). A company which has already registered can use the login data (name and password) as these are still valid. A new user has to make a “New account – company” and then only register for the congress.

Hiring an exhibition area

When you log in the registration system, you first have to register for the congress and then you can order an area for your stand in the congress menu – Company registration. State the total number of square meters; at the same time please fill in the Questionnaire for Exhibitors to specify the type of stand you want (cubicle system or your own construction, etc.) and the stand ground plan.

Company expositions will again be located in hall A1 and the area divisions will start in mid-March 2013; therefore, send your orders as soon as possible to get included in the first round of dividing. When dividing, several factors will be taken in consideration – placing of the stands in the previous years, the time of registration and the extent of the company sponsorship for the congress. We would like to keep the same positions of company stands as in the previous years because the congress participants like to find stands at the same places; also the date of the registrations plays a role and, as has been mentioned, also the extent of the sponsorship – the general and the main sponsors are the only ones entitled to choose the exhibition place, the other exhibitors are allotted a space in correspondence with the above-mentioned rules.

Company registration finishes on April 15, 2013; this is also the last day of all passive participation registration (individual, group).
