4) ArchiPro profile

We highly recommend that your ArchiPro profile is up to date. Our team is more than happy to help with any changes. Please get in contact with your Client Manager if you need assistance.

5) Ticketing & accreditation

During the evening you and your team will be required to wear a lanyard with your name badge attached. These lanyards identify you as a product supplier.

There is a limit on the number of staff that can attend based on the showcase package you have selected:

Silver – 4 pax
Gold – 6 pax
Platinum – 8 pax
Black – 10 pax

The package inclusions can be viewed in the Product Supplier Exhibitor deck here.

Please complete the Exhibitor Tickets section of the Exhibitor Portal as this will generate tickets for you and your staff working at the event.

Your tickets are meant for staff who can speak to the homeowners about your products.

Upon arrival at the event, you and your staff can simply scan your tickets at the registration desk to receive a lanyard.

6) Your exhibition space

Every product 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
A dedicated taped off space - (once you are packed in we will remove the tape)

The size of your space is dependent on the package you have selected.

Silver – 1.5 x 1.5m space
Gold – 2 x 2m space
Platinum – 3 x 2m space
Black – 4 x 2m space

The black pod with gold logo is to be placed within your space.

If you do not require the black exhibitor pod, please let us know.

7) ArchiPro display rules

The exhibition floor must look impeccable in order to enhance and elevate 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 so that attendees can feel, touch, and experience them.

To ensure a premium look at the event no pull up banners are allowed.

The attendees are dressed in cocktail attire, enjoying canapés and drinks. We want their hands to remain free, so it is not permitted to hand out flyers at the stands. Single page flyers can be added to the gift bags that the homeowners will receive upon departure. However, you can have brochures at your display, which homeowners can view while at your stand.

More information about how to make your stand the best it can be, is available here.

8) Floor plan

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

Those on a Platinum or Black package will receive priority placement of their stand.

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

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 the venue wall; everything needs to be self-standing.

The ceiling height is 10m.

The final floor plan will not be provided until closer to the event date.

9) Goodie bags

We will give out 300 goodie bags to homeowners (one per project) in which you are welcome to add one of the following:

Product sample
Any small branded items (for example, a branded screwdriver, branded bottle opener, other branded gift)
(Discount) single page flyer/pamphlet
Brochures on USB

No paper brochures, booklets, notebooks or catalogues will be permitted as they will make the bags too heavy.

Please inform us of the item you would like to add to the goodie bags, via the Exhibitor Portal, before producing it so that we can ensure there are not two of the same items.

Goodie bag items must be delivered at the below address on 13th or 14th September, 2023:
