Exhibit Rules & Regulations

Read this section carefully to avoid unnecessary on-site challenges or costly modifications. Note: printed copies of all these Rules & Regulations will be mailed to each exhibitor. For any questions on the rules and regulations, please contact us at wms@heiexpo.com.

Display Rules

These display rules must be adhered to on-site, or your display may have to go through costly alterations before the Show opens. The display rules are not meant to limit your ability to showcase your product, but rather to ensure each exhibitor an equal opportunity, within reason, to present their product or service in the most effective manner to the audience. The exhibitor’s responsibility can be summed up quite simply as “Be A Good Neighbor.”

Your agreement to abide by these display rules is a part of the space contract, and they will be strictly enforced by our Floor Managers at Show time.

Electrical Safety Code Requirements

1. The Electrical Safety Code, a Provincial Regulation, requires that all electrical equipment must be approved before it may lawfully be advertised, displayed, offered for sale, sold, or otherwise disposed of or used in Ontario.
2. It is, therefore, the responsibility of each exhibitor to ensure that all electrical equipment in, on, or about his booth comply with these regulations. This includes electrical merchandise as well as lighting and display equipment.
3. Please refer to the attached PDF file for details of approval.
4. One of the fundamental requirements of approval is that appropriate approval markings must appear on each device. If such markings are missing, the device must be considered unapproved and, therefore, subject to special inspections.
5. If you wish to display, offer for sale, or use any electrical equipment which is not approved, you are required to obtain permission from Electrical Safety Authority and pay the necessary fees. Please refer to the attached PDF file for details. Please note that proper approvals must be obtained after the show for any electrical equipment which is to remain in Ontario.
6. Failure to comply could result in the equipment being ordered from display.

Dust Collection Duct Work

Please note that any exhibitors who are planning in installing dust collection duct work from the ceiling of the International Centre must hire Showtech Manlift Services for the installation and removal of the duct work. This regulation is in place to protect the safety of the exhibitors and for the protection of the building.

Also note that any duct work installed by exhibitors must also be removed by the exhibitors, again utilizing Showtech Manlift Services. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to pay for the installation and removal of all duct work. Any duct work left after the show will be removed by Showtech at the exhibitor's expense.
