1. Where can I access important exhibitor information?
All important exhibitor information can be found in the Home Design Evening knowledge base here.
2. What time can we start pack-in?
You have access to the venue from 9am. All exhibitors must have their booths set up by 3pm. Please note that the loading dock will close at 2:45pm, so it’s important to arrive on time.
3. What time can we start pack-out after the event?
You have the ability to pack out after the event has concluded and when attendees have left. This will be around 9.30pm - midnight.
4. Why am I not allowed to bring pull up banners or hand out flyers at my stand?
We are passionate about the exhibition floor looking amazing and really adding to the attendee experience. Our intention for the evening is for all stands to look slick, well designed, and for all exhibitors to display their products for the audience to feel, touch, and experience.
With this is mind, we find pull up banners detract from the attendee experience and result in a lack of engagement with the exhibition stand. Brochures that attendees can browse and return are fine, however, flyers which are handed out typically end up in the bin or on the exhibition floor when attendees are also carrying food and beverages.
5. I would like to hire additional items from your AV supplier and/or would like to hang things above my stand. Who can I contact for a quote?
For product supplier exhibitors, if you would like to hire additional equipment for your stand, please explain what is required and get in touch with event@archipro.co.nz who will be able to direct you to our AV supplier.
6. Why do you need my logo in vector, EPS or Ai format?
Some exhibitors have their logo printed in gold on a black exhibition pod. In order for the logos to look sleek and high quality, the printers require your logo in either vector, EPS or Ai format. We also use your logo to promote your presence on our event landing page and in our newsletter.
7. What size is my stand?
Depending on the package you purchased, the sizes are below. The below area size has to include your black exhibitor pod which is approx. 1060 x 560 x 970.

- Silver: 1.5m x 1.5m
- Gold: 2m x 2m
- Platinum: 3m x 2m
- Black: 4m x 2m
- Bespoke: 6m x 6m
8. How does it work on the day? How do you measure out the stand size?
Before you access the venue we will place tape on the floor outlining your area and we will place the black exhibitor pod with your logo in your area (if required). Once you have packed in your stand, we will remove the tape.
9. I will have open flames, how do I obtain a hot work permit?
If you require open flames at your exhibition stand, please contact event@archipro.co.nz and you will be provided you with the form for this permit.
10. Why do I have to get my electrical cords tested?
It is a Shed 10 venue health and safety requirement to have all equipment brought into the venue tag tested ahead of the event. Please ensure your items display the dated tags..
All electrical items that you bring into the venue and are used at your stand (i.e. laptops, screens, iPad / tablets) need to be tag tested prior to the event with each item displaying a tag with date tested. This is the exhibitors responsibility – The venue will be checking and will reject any non-compliant items.
11. When will the floor plan come out?
You should have already seen the floor plan to select your location. The final version will be released about a week before the event.

3. You will be able to download details of anyone you have scanned at the end of the event.
Full instructions and training will be provided to all exhibitors before the event.
16. What are the benefits of the lead scanning app?
All homeowners who attend Home Design Evening are thoroughly vetted and are completing a build or significant renovation project in the immediate future. Upon registration, they must complete information such as where their project is located, their budget, whether they are building or renovating, the current stage of their project, their project size, and reason for attendance. This app allows exhibitors to capture this information in a seamless, efficient and effective way, to allow for a prompt post-event follow up.
