Materials used in event construction must meet the requirements for assembly spaces (fire load class 600–1200 MJ/m²). Furnishings, decorations, and other stand construction materials may not be easily flammable, nor may they endanger people’s safety during evacuation or hinder rescue operations. Materials must meet at least the fire classifications listed below, or they must be fireproofed.
Material Requirements and Classifications
Stand structures:
Walls, fixed floors (e.g., wooden flooring), and partitions.
Minimum requirement: Fire class E.
Furnishings:
Banners, curtains, fabrics, loose carpets (e.g., exhibition carpet or artificial grass), and similar items.
Minimum requirement: Normally flammable.
Examples of classifications for normally flammable materials include DIN 4102 B2, SL 2, M2, and EN 13501-1 D-s1, d1.
Normally flammable material ignites but not easily; it may burn through but does not produce large amounts of melting, fire-spreading material.
Products on display:
No fire classification is required if the quantity is reasonable.
Use of pyrotechnics or hot work:
Materials in the immediate vicinity must meet class B-s1, d0. The safety distance is assessed case by case.
EPS insulation materials (e.g., Styrofoam):
Use is allowed, but the material must always be S-quality.
If a material does not meet the required standards, it can be fireproofed, provided the material allows it.
At the event
Exhibitors have their own free parking area.
The exhibitor parking areas are located next to the exhibition grounds, in Latupuisto and Teutonpuisto along Laaksokatu.
Exhibitors may park their passenger cars free of charge in all event parking areas by showing their wristband to the parking attendant.
For exhibitors, the wristbands also serve as parking permits in the parking areas.
A separate parking area is reserved for larger vehicles at the Uramo School parking lot (Uramontie 63).
Note: This is not a parking area for passenger cars.
The Exhibition Office assists exhibitors and contractors during the event’s build-up and opening hours, including matters related to stand orders. The Exhibition Office is located on the 2nd floor of Hall E (school building) within the exhibition area.
Exhibition Office Opening Hours
During the construction:
Wed 3 June, 9:00–18:00
Thu 4 June, 8:00–20:00
During event days:
Fri 5 June, 9:00–18:00
Sat 6 June, 9:00–18:00
Sun 7 June, 9:00–18:00
Exhibitors have access to their own restaurant located in Hall E. This area also includes restrooms reserved exclusively for exhibitors, which are not accessible to visitors and typically have little to no queue.
Additional information about lunch vouchers will be provided closer to the event.
Restrooms
Exhibitors have their own restrooms located next to the restaurant in Hall E. These facilities are reserved exclusively for exhibitors, meaning visitors do not have access, and they usually allow entry without waiting in line.
Showers
Exhibitors can use the shower facilities located downstairs in the Sako Arena (Sports Hall).
Do not leave valuables visible when the exhibition day ends. Make sure your insurance coverage is in order and consider whether you need additional equipment, such as display cases, locks, or security cables for computers or monitors.
Take responsibility for your property. Assess potential risks in advance. Appoint a person responsible for the security of your stand. The organiser’s general security monitoring alone is not sufficient. The most high‑risk times are during the construction and dismantling times, as well as during maintenance hours, when many people move in and out of the expo area. Do not leave your stand immediately after the exhibition day ends. It is advisable to remain on-site for about half an hour after the gates close. Thieves are particularly interested in items that are easy to resell. Consider how you store money. Do not keep cash at your stand in a place where it can be easily snatched. Try to ensure that cash is transferred to a more secure location during the day. Also make sure your insurance is fully up to date!
