Security Policy

Uniformed security guards will be on duty during the move-in, exhibition days and move-out. Whilst every precaution is taken, Expertise Events or the venue cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage that may occur to persons or property at the exhibition, from any cause whatsoever.

Exhibitors should ensure adequate insurance coverage against the loss, theft or damage of all products brought to the exhibition; this includes during transportation to and from the event.

It is unfortunate that while Expertise Events takes precautions, such as having security personnel, thefts still occur. As an exhibitor there are precautions you can take to reduce the risk of theft from your stand whether it be stock/display materials, cash takings or personal belongings.

• Try to avoid bringing valuable personal items with you while working at the exhibition (including cash), if possible carry any personal items on yourself at all times.
• When designing or laying out your stand take into consideration security issues: Is there somewhere for staff to secure their personal belongings? If you will be making cash sales at public exhibitions have you incorporated a cash tin / register and is this in a location where it is not easily accessed?
• If you have cash tin/register on your stand do not leave it unlocked / open.
• Easily portable items of value which form part of your display should be secured to your stand so that they are not easily removed.
• When organising staff for your stand ensure that there will always be someone present at your stand during exhibition hours, remember to allow for meal and toilet breaks.
• If you notice someone or something suspicious contact either the Expertise Events Servicentre or security immediately, this will allow security to act before a theft occurs or someone else becomes a victim.
• Consider using a money pouch carried on the hip if you are making cash sales, by having your cash close to your body it makes it difficult for a thief to access. When purchasing take into account comfort and the design, some pouches are more businesslike than others.
• Be conscious of individuals asking unusual questions. Do not let them distract you and position yourself in a way so that your back is never turned to where your cash is being stored.
