Please note all visitors including delegates, sponsors and any third party suppliers entering the MCEC will be required to comply with the COVID Safe protocols in place with the venue at the time.

ACKNOWLEDGING RISK

Due to COVID-19, it is important that all onsite attendees acknowledge there are inherent risks associated with large events such as a Conference. Whilst the risk of infection is currently very low, the possibility of border closures or other travel restrictions being imposed remains, together with the possibility of quarantine or self-isolation. The SMSF Association will not be liable for any loss or damages to individual onsite attendees that are caused by events beyond our control. We strongly recommend all onsite attendees carefully check the details of any insurance coverage you may hold, as well as the specific terms and conditions of your travel and accommodation bookings.

MCEC EXHIBITOR SERVICES

There are a range of services the venue can assist you with. Further information and order forms are available in the Exhibitor Services page on the MCEC website. Orders must be completed by Friday 10 February 2023 to ensure the services can be provided.

Please ensure you have read through the venue’s Exhibitor Services Guide which can be downloaded at the above link. This contains information on exhibiting at the MCEC, information requiring approval from the MCEC, detailed information on the various services available and appropriate order forms as well as general operational information for the Centre.

COURIER DELIVERIES

All deliveries must come via the loading dock (refer ‘Loading Dock’ section below for details on where to deliver to). Your courier will be required to deliver goods directly to your stand. Please ensure you make specific arrangements with your transport provider and/or ensure you have a representative onsite at the time of delivery. If you will not be present to sign for the goods, please ensure you advise your courier of this as neither Harry the Hirer nor the MCEC can sign for delivery of goods on your behalf.

Deliveries will only be accepted on Tuesday 21 February 2023 during loading dock opening times (refer ‘Important Dates & Times’ tab for times) MCEC reserves the right to refuse deliveries outside of these times. If you have concerns around the ability to have your courier delivery exactly during this time, we recommend you contact a freight forwarder (see above section) who can assist with receipt and storage of your goods prior to Tuesday 21 February 2023 (costs apply), including then delivering these goods to your stand onsite.

Goods being delivered to the venue must clearly display the exhibitor delivery label.

Refer to the Loading Dock section below for further details on where your goods should be delivered to.

All goods delivered to the MCEC will need to be delivered directly to your booth in readiness for your move in later that afternoon. Refer above ‘Important Dates & Times’ section for move in times.

PERSONAL DELIVERIES

This option is only available on Tuesday 21 February 2023 from 0700-1900hrs via the loading dock.

This allows you to use your own private vehicle to deliver goods to the loading dock and you are responsible for the handling of your goods to your booth. Your vehicle can only remain in the loading dock as you unload and cannot be left unattended.

Refer to the loading dock section below for further details on where to deliver your goods.

FREIGHT FORWARDING

The show bumps in on very tight parameters and deliveries will not be accepted at the venue earlier. Furthermore, all freight must be removed from the venue during official move out times with no exceptions.

Should you anticipate any issues with courier delivery or collection during the above times, we recommend you contract the services of a freight forwarder who can organise early storage and late collection of consignments.

Please see below details of a freight forwarding service that may be able to assist:

Please ensure you have booked your courier in advance in line with the move out schedule.

All freight must be removed from the venue during official move out times and prior to the conclusion of move out. Should you anticipate any issues with removing your goods during this time, or having your courier collect your goods in time, we recommend you contract the services of a freight forwarder (refer ‘Freight Forwarding’ section above for further details).

If collecting from the venue within the required timeframe, your courier should be instructed to collect goods via Exhibition Centre (Expansion) Loading Dock, Upper Dock, Roller door 11. Please ensure you have the following available onsite:

CAR PARKING

CLEANING

MCEC will provide general cleaning of the exhibition common areas, e.g. aisles, prior to opening of the exhibition and daily thereafter.

It is, however, your responsibility to maintain your exhibit and furniture in a tidy condition at all times. You are to make your own arrangements for removal of items not for display and rubbish resulting from unpacking of exhibits e.g. carton boxes, crates, plywood, materials for your booth construction and interior fittings from the exhibition areas before the exhibition opens. At the close of the Conference, all exhibits items should be removed immediately.

ITEMS REQUIRING VENUE APPROVAL

There are a number of items that require advance venue approval. If you are considering any of the below (or any other items you may think require approval) please provide details via the Exhibitor Services section of the MCEC website by no later than Friday 10 February 2023.

• Stand catering
• External food and beverage supply: sampling/selling
• Motor vehicles or large/heavy items into event space
• Gas cylinders
• Naked flame
• Animals onsite
• Helium balloons

BOOTH CATERING

The venue is the only approved company permitted to provide food and beverage services to your booth. If you require this service, please complete the order via the Exhibitor Services section of the MCEC website by no later than Friday 10 February 2023.

Exhibitors are unable to giveaway any items at their stands that are included in sponsorship packages (e.g. coffee cups, napkins/serviettes, juice, ice cream, water or water bottles).

FOOD SAMPLING AND/OR GIVEAWAYS

We recommend limiting flyers and promotional items in order to minimise touchpoints. If exhibitors wish to hand out these items, we ask that you hand each flyer/item directly to the attendee; the attendee shouldn’t pick up a flyer/item from a collection on an exhibitors booth. Once the attendee has the flyer/item, they then must keep this item on them and not place it back on the booth.

Exhibitors wanting to offer food and/or beverage sampling from their booth, including handing out individually wrapped confectionary items, will need to receive approval from the MCEC. The application form for this can be found via the Exhibitor Services section of the MCEC website and must be provided to the Centre by COB Friday 10 February 2023.

INTERNET ACCESS

Attendees at the Conference will have free access to a basic wireless internet service, suitable for checking emails or similar, while onsite. A separate wireless network will be setup for Sponsors to use in the exhibition hall, with network and password details to be forwarded closer to the Conference. Should you prefer, you can also purchase at your own cost a hard-wired line through the Exhibitor Services section of the MCEC website.

The MCEC recommends exhibitors not to set up your own wireless network on your booth, as interference from multiple neighbouring networks could render them unusable.

SECURITY

Security will be in place at the entrance of the exhibition during opening hours. However, it is recommended to remove or secure any valuable items in lockable storage on your booth when your booth is unattended. If you wish to hire additional security for items on your booth, please contact the MCEC Exhibitor Services as per the ‘Contacts’ tab above.

BOOTH BOUNDARY

It is a requirement of the MCEC and the SMSF Association National Conference 2023 that all display material is contained within the perimeter of your exhibition site. Materials that are placed outside of exhibition sites will be relocated or removed.

TROLLEYS

We suggest you provide your own trolley as there are only a limited amount of complimentary trolleys available from the Centre and these are available on a first come, first served basis.

We have passed on your contact details and they will send you information and order forms to consider the following for your booth:

• Signage options
• Lighting and power requirements
• Furniture and display hire
• Audio visual equipment hire
• Fascia sign requirements

In order to ensure your requirements are met and to avoid any late order fees, orders with HTH must be finalised by Friday 20 January for signage, Friday 27 January for your fascia, and Wednesday 8 February for all other items.

CUSTOM BUILT STANDS

If you have purchased raw space (without shell scheme) and are using the floor space for a custom build stand or a pre-fabricated display in your allocated area, you must submit your detailed plans in advance for approval. Approval will be sought on your behalf. If the booth onsite is outside of the approved design, the SMSF Association has the right to request any necessary amendments be made before the exhibition is open to delegates.

Please detail any power or lighting requirements in your plans so this can be arranged with HTH.

Custom build stands must not exceed 3.5m in height and your stand must not in any way overshadow any neighbouring stands.

Please submit your detailed plans including any digital branding with the completed Custom Stand Design Form to Lydia Mernik by Friday 13 January 2023 and venue approval will be sought on your behalf. You will be notified once approval is received or with notice of any necessary modifications.

PRIZE DRAW

You may wish to make available a prize(s) as an incentive for delegates to visit and return to your booth. If so, you will be responsible for the promotion of your prize, the drawing and announcement or contact with the winner(s).

Generally a prize draw is considered a lottery if there is an element of chance or a combination of skill and chance and a permit must be obtained, even if the prize has a very low (or nil) value. Usually, any kind of draw (names out of a hat; business cards out of a bowl, lucky door prize etc) requires a permit. Please refer to the Victorian Government Liquor and Gaming website for further information.

If you intend to offer a prize from your booth, please provide a description of the prize details to Lydia Mernik at WSM ([email protected]) by Friday 10 February 2023.

All road cases, pallets and crates must be stored offsite after move in, and returned on move out day.

WSM, the SMSF Association representatives, MCEC, HTH and their officers and employees separately and collectively, will not take responsibility for products left in any storage area or guarantee that space will be available.

It is your responsibility to comply with the Victorian Workplace Health & Safety Act 2012 as well as the venue’s Workplace Health & Safety procedures and instructions.

SAFETY VESTS

Due to workplace safety requirements it is necessary for all exhibitors in the exhibition during move in and move out to wear a safety vest. Access will not be permitted without a vest.

WSM, the SMSF Association representatives, MCEC, HTH, and their officers and employees separately and collectively, will not take responsibility for any damage to, or for the loss, or destruction of an exhibit from fire, theft or accidents or other causes, or injury to his/her person resulting from any cause, and all claims for any such loss, damage or injury are waived by you as per the agreed terms and conditions on your application to exhibit and/or supporter.

TEST AND TAGGING

All electrical equipment entering the MCEC must comply with the Australian Standards and Victorian Work Health and Safety Act 2012. This Act covers all electrical equipment used in the workplace, including equipment brought in to the building by contractors or third parties. The outward sign of compliance with the Act will be the equipment’s electrical test tag, compliant with relevant standards.

Contractors must not bring onto the MCEC premises any equipment that does not display up to date testing and tagging in accordance with the relevant Australian/New Zealand standards. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to ensure all goods have been tested and tagged in accordance with relevant Australian Standards prior to arriving onsite.

The MCEC reserves the right to remove or replace, at the contractor or exhibitor’s expense, any electrical equipment not complying with the Act or deemed to be unsafe. Power cords which are detachable, such as IEC leads, extension leads and power boards are separate items and need to be tested independently from the equipment they are supplied with.

THIRD PARTY CONTRACTORS OR WORKERS

Exhibitors are responsible for the safe use and maintenance of every element on their stand and its environs (ramping, stairs, general safety of display items, moving parts of live displays, etc.). This will also include the general public and/or visitors to the stand.

Exhibitors should ensure that the persons they engage to undertake work on their stand are competent and have undertaken a suitable risk assessment for the work to be undertaken. Exhibitors must take reasonable steps to ensure their contractors and workers are operating to a safe system of work, including access and egress to and from that stand.

All contractors are required to complete the MCEC LinkSafe induction prior to coming onsite.
