Companies wishing to deliver their material for the stand directly on the day of set-up, at the times indicated, will be able to organize the unloading of the goods on their own without the need to contact MERKUR EXPO LOGISTIC (MEL).
Only from 08.30 to 17.00, it is possible to access the garden of the Palazzo dei Congressi with your own vehicle exclusively for the unloading of the material, after which the vehicle must be immediately parked outside. It is not possible to park inside the garden of the Palazzo dei Congressi.

To access during set-up and dismantling, it is mandatory to register on the Firenze Fiera portal (see below).
DISMANTLING
Dismantling is allowed only on Thursday September 12th from 15.30 to 19.00.
The Organization will provide for the necessary removal at the expense and risk of the exhibitor himself for the stands that are not dismantled and for the materials that are not collected or prepared according to the instructions provided.
Those who do not collect the goods directly on the day of dismantling will have to organize the shipment with MERKUR EXPO LOGISTICS.
Shipments will not be accepted without the management of MERKUR EXPO LOGISTICS.
Important! Congress sessions/lectures will run in the Auditorium (Plenary room, located next to the exhibition area) on Thursday, September 12th until 17:30. Exhibitors are kindly requested to avoid noisy dismantling procedures that might disturb sessions.
SET-UP AND DISMANTLING (important!)
Exhibiting companies are required to register on the Firenze Fiera portal to print the pass to access with vehicles and people for the preparation of the stand. The same will have to be done for the dismantling.
About 10 days before conference starts, Firenze Fiera will send to the exhibitors’ contact provided by the AIM Italy secretariat the link to the portal and the access credentials for registration together with an information vademecum.
In the portal it will be possible to register both the names and any vehicles that will have to access for unloading. Please note that once the material has been unloaded, the vehicle will have to leave the congress center as parking is not allowed.
Without registration and access passes, it will not be possible to access the congress palace for set-up and dismantling.
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY / TECHNICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
Each Exhibiting Company is required to comply with the current laws on plant safety and to exhibit declarations of compliance with any request by the staff of the AIM Italy Organizing Secretariat.
By arrangement of the congress venue you will find the Technical Safety Regulations (attached to this document) containing the rules to be complied with and forms A, B, C, D and E.
Exhibiting companies that will build a stand, not popup or roll-up stands or pre-furnished booth provided by Firenze Fiera, are required to send forms A, B and C by Wednesday, July 31st (by email to icas2024@aimgroup.eu) while forms D and E are mandatory only if fireproof materials are used in the set-up of the stand.
