Exhibitor and builder badges

The exhibitor's access pass will be printed upon your arrival at the trade fair. All team members working at the stand must be added in advance. Before the event, each person will receive a QR code via email, which can be used to print the access pass on-site.

Builders can collect their builder passes from the information desk in the main lobby. Parking is free at construction time.

Deliveries

Items for your booth can be delivered to the Exhibition Center only once the construction period has begun, so please plan your schedule accordingly. Tampereen Messut Oy and the Tampere Exhibition and Sports Center are not responsible for receiving deliveries, so a designated receiver must be present to sign for any shipments.

To avoid lost shipments, ensure the following information is clearly marked on deliveries: the name of the exhibition event, the company name, the booth number, and the contact person’s phone number.

After the event, a final invoice will be sent, covering the remaining 5% of the original contract value, plus any additional charges for modifications to the agreement or extra orders made during the exhibition. This billing method enables flexibility for modifications and additional orders in the agreement.
