Exhibition
12ELBC Exhibition
The 12ELBC Exhibition is designed to be an integral part of the Conference and takes place in areas immediately adjacent to the two conference rooms. It will be open during working hours on the first two days of the Conference (22-23 September) and provides an excellent opportunity for suppliers of equipment, technology and materials to meet the key decision makers in the lead-acid battery industry from Europe and the rest of the world. In view of the generally favourable response to the holding of the opening Cocktail Reception in the Exhibition Area at 11ELBC, it is likely that this will be repeated in Istanbul.
In order to promote technical discussions between the battery industry and its suppliers, a quiet Exhibitors Lounge with refreshments will be provided near to the exhibition area. Coffee points will be incorporated into the Exhibition Hall in order to encourage delegates to spend time in the Exhibition.
Exhibition Details
The 12ELBC Exhibition will be based on pre-erected booths of the type used at 10ELBC in Athens and 11ELBC in Warsaw (illustrated below).
Booth Design
This format will not preclude exhibitors using their own backdrops within the space allocated. The majority of sites available will be of size 3 x 2 metres and, in addition, sixteen 4 x 2 metre sites are available. A table and two chairs will be provided for each site if required and it is hoped on this occasion to be able to provide wireless internet access for exhibitors.
Up to 500W of electrical power for lighting (220V), and for low power consumption items such as DVD players, will be provided for each site, but exhibitors are reminded to equip themselves with the appropriate continental adaptors and transformers that they may need.
Further information relating to set-up times, exhibition opening hours and the means of renting video equipment, additional power, etc., will be circulated to exhibitors following registration. An official shipping agent to the Conference and Exhibition will be appointed in order to facilitate the import and export of equipment, samples, etc., into and out of Turkey. Again, details will be provided in the post-registration documentation.
Who should exhibit?
The Conference and Exhibition are designed to enable exhibitors to meet technical people from the battery industry. Exhibiting will be valuable for suppliers of battery-making materials such as lead alloys, lead oxides, separators, speciality castings and battery cases. Additionally, it has proved fruitful for suppliers of all types of battery manufacturing equipment as well as test equipment for the final product. Suppliers of environmental services to the industry will also benefit as will manufacturers of battery recycling equipment.
Exhibition Layout
You can view the layout plan of the 12ELBC Exhibition area but all sites have already been provisionally reserved and confirmation of these reservations are being established. The plan will then be re-assessed in the hope of accommodating companies which are currently on the waiting list. Companies wishing to exhibit and which have not yet made a reservation are advised to complete the Site Request Form and e-mail or fax it to Allan Cooper at the Conference Secretariat as soon as possible. Availability of space will then be advised as soon as possible.
