7) Floor plan, your exhibition space & display rules

Carriageworks - Floor Plan

Please note: Home Design Evening is held in Bay 25, which is located at the south-western end of the Carriageworks precinct.

Every exhibitor will receive:

• Every exhibitor will receive:

  • 1 x 1060 x 560 x 970H black pod - with your logo in gold applied to the front. 
  • 1 x 10amp plug with a 4-way multi box for power
  • Space size - the size of your space is dependent on the package you have selected. This will also show within the Exhibitor portal under "Event Details"
  • A dedicated taped off space - (once you are packed in we will remove the tape)
  • Professionals Only - An HP screen to showcase your amazing projects on ArchiPro

We carefully consider and allocate exhibitors' spaces based on their product, facilities required and surrounding exhibitors. 

The exhibition floor must look impeccable in order to enhance and elevate the attendee experience (and create a high-end experience). Our intention for the evening is for all stands to look slick, well designed, and for all exhibitors to display their products so that attendees can feel, touch, and experience them.

Product Suppliers: Please let us know if you prefer a wall space. For example, if your stand has a back wall it's better to be along the wall than in the middle of the space.  

Nothing can be leaned against or hung on or adhered to the venue wall; everything needs to be self-standing.

The more information you provide to us regarding your stand, the better we can position you on the night.

• All use of gas cylinders or use of any naked flame/combustible items is on a case-by-case approval by Carriageworks (open flames are at the discretion of the venue). To submit a request please reach out to event@archipro.com.au and provide the below detail:
  1. Model of product (aka fireplace or cooktop).
  2. Detail around how the gas is connected to the product.
  3. What gas is being used.
  4. Where and how is the gas being stored (aka on your stand in X type of bottle)

• If your stand exceeds 2.8m in height.
• If you are planning to bring any heavy items (20 > kg) that need a forklift.
