Event-related information 0.30.5 Theft Prevention Please note the following guidelines for preventing theft During the construction period As soon as your exhibits have been delivered, do not leave your stand unattended. Keep all small and valuable objects in a safe place. Lockable cupboards and display cases can be rented from an authorized company. During the event Make sure your stand is attended before visitors are allowed into the exhibition. Do not leave your stand unattended. Valuable exhibits should be specially protected. It is recommended to hang curtains around the stand in the evenings to protect exhibits from prying eyes. During the dismantling period Experience shows that theft most frequently occurs during the first few hours of the dismantling period. Do not leave your stand unattended during this period before the exhibits and the stand have been put in a safe place, loaded for removal or handed over to the forwarding agents. If you cannot dismantle your stand immediately after the end of the exhibition, we recommend you to order stand security to guard the stand until you begin dismantling. Reporting theft All incidents of theft should be reported to the police. Inform the trade fair management of any theft immediately and report any theft to the police station on the exhibition grounds without delay. Fachausstellungen Heckmann does not assume any liability in case of theft.
