Refer to the conference sponsor and exhibitor prospectus for inclusions relevant to your package. All other costs associated with your participation in the event shall be borne solely by the sponsor/exhibitor, and the Event shall have no liability for such costs.
Once a sponsorship and/or exhibition application has been accepted all payments are non-refundable. If you are no longer able to attend the conference please contact Conference Design to discuss your participation.
The Host and Conference Design do not accept any liability for losses incurred (such as travel costs, hotel costs or any other costs or expenses) if the in-person Event is cancelled or postponed due to an unforeseen occurrence or any other occurrence that renders performance of the Event inadvisable, illegal, impracticable or impossible.
An unforeseen event could include, but is not limited to, an infectious disease outbreak; industrial disruptions; service provider failures; governmental restrictions or regulations; war or apparent act of war; terrorism or apparent act of terrorism; disaster; civil disorder, disturbance, and/or riots; curtailment, suspension or restriction on transportation; or any other emergency.
If the conference is cancelled or postponed refunds will not be issued but available funds will be credited towards the rescheduled conference.
Should the organisers believe, at their sole discretion, that a hybrid or in-person event needs to be held entirely online, all sponsor and exhibitor bookings will be transferred to the online event. Fees will be revised to reflect an online format and sponsors and exhibitors will be refunded any difference between the in-person and online fee.
Full refunds of sponsor and exhibitor bookings will not be issued due to an event moving entirely online.
Every effort has been made to present all the information accurately, however no liability is accepted for any inaccuracy and the Organisers reserve the right to change any published information.
The Host and Conference Design reserve the right to change any and all aspects of the Event, including but not limited to, the Event name, themes, content, program, speakers, format, performers, hosts, moderators, venues, and times.
The Organisers reserve the right to amend, update or delete sponsorship and exhibition packages and the exhibition floor plan.
In booking a sponsorship or exhibition package for the conference, you agree your representatives will abide by the Conference Code of Conduct which is available at https://iss2023.net/code-of-conduct/.
The exhibition floor plan is subject to change without notice. The floor plan is not to an exact scale, but accurately represents the position and sizes of exhibition spaces at in-person conferences.
Conference Design will allocate exhibition spaces after taking into account each organisation’s sponsorship, the date of application, preferences, proximity to competitors and any other matters deemed relevant.
All sponsors and exhibitors must have adequate insurance for the period of the conference, including public and products liability cover and professional indemnity insurance. The Organisers may request a certificate of currency.
Your Organisation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Organisers for any loss, damage to property or injury to persons suffered as a result of your participation in the conference, except where the Organisers are found to be negligent.
The supply of any goods, services, samples or advice is entirely at your Organisation’s own risk.
Valuable items should NOT be left unattended at your exhibition space at any time and especially not overnight. No responsibility is accepted for any loss or damage to equipment and display materials.
Anyone from your Organisation attending the conference or guests you wish to invite to the conference must register with Conference Design before the conference. An official name badge will be required to access the in-person meeting and exhibition areas.
All custom stands must fit within the purchased exhibition space. Custom stands must not exceed 3.0 metres high. If you have any questions please email us a floor plan and elevations of your proposed stand.
The delegate list will be supplied on the Conference App at the time of the conference and will include name, organisation and state. The list provided will exclude names which have not provided their consent.
Whilst we encourage you to develop entertaining and interactive displays to attract delegates, please be mindful not to disturb other exhibitors or delegates.
Your signage should be free standing to allow for easy placement and should be contained with your exhibition space.
Due to safety requirements you will not be able to dismantle your display before the published closing time.
Your Organisation shall indemnify the Organisers from all liability for damage to the venue deemed to have been caused by your staff, contractors, agents or guests. The cost of repairs will be the sole responsibility of your Organisation.
