In the event of a breach by several exhibitors, such exhibitors shall be jointly and severally liable for the aforementioned costs, fees and taxes. The distribution of samples against payment is subject to approval by the organiser. The distribution of samples free of charge is permitted.

Exhibitors’ stand structures shall not exceed a height of 250 cm. Higher structures shall only be permitted after submission of plans and with the written consent of the organiser. Relevant construction plans shall be submitted to the project management two month before the start of the trade fair at the latest. For 2storey stand constructions, stages, marquees and spotlight-scaffolds an inspection report, provided by a civil engineer, that guarantees professional and proper construction on site (due to the information provided) for hazard-free operation is required. It has to be submitted to the project management in the morning of the last set-up day at the latest. All walls which adjoin the aisles (particularly with isle stands) may be fully covered only to a maximum of one third and have to appear in a visually open design.
On no account is self-adhesive carpet tape to be used as this will damage the hall floor and the remnants of the adhesive are very difficult to remove. The removal of such remnants will be charged according to the work and expense necessary.
Suspended objects: Suspended objects may only be hung from the intended suspension points in compliance with official static structural limitations. Authorisation and realisation of suspension points must be executed only by the contracted company of the organisers, System Standbau Gesellschaft m.b.H. Regardless of volume and mass, suspended objects and suspension points must be doubly secured from each other and, after installation, the aforementioned must be inspected by a civil engineer.

Foyers: It is strictly forbidden to enter the foyers with lift trucks, fork lifts or electric motor pallet walkies. Please use the loading doors in the halls. People who cause damage due to non-observace are liable for these damages.
Event inspection and acceptance: The event inspection of the building authority and the fire protection police of Magistrat Salzburg starts on the last set-up day at 4.30 pm. Please make sure that a competent person (competent regarding questions about stand construction, exhaust systems, exhibits etc.), who is able to answer detailed questions and submit technical documentation, is present at your stand during this period.
To the attention of stand-building companies and exhibitors!
All required licenses, certifications and material samples for the commissioning inspection by Magistratsabteilung (MA 36) have to be submitted by fax to +43 1 727 20-2749, respectively handed over to the hall manager as soon as possible but not later than on the last set-up day
- On completion, two-storey stands must be examined (on site) by a civil engineer or consultant engineer, based on structural load limit calculations. The technician is then responsible for the compilation of a report that the construction has been performed in a good and workmanlike manner. This report must be handed over to the hall manager or, in time, submitted by fax.
- Regarding the stand construction and set up, the company executing the build-up is required to furnish a duly signed and stamped confirmation that all set up works are carried out by professional staff and with original connection parts and fasteners, and are thus executed in a good and workmanlike manner. (i. e. rigs [hanging and standing], standbuilding systems, spot and floodlights, speakers etc.) The respective form can be obtained from the hall manager.
- Open flames (burning candles etc.) and the use of liquid gas on the stands without permission are strictly forbidden!
Please also take note of the following:
- All faults and defects identified must have been remedied before the
beginning of the show (the day before visitors have access)! - All reports, results, findings and certifications lacking during the
commissioning inspection must be submitted to the hall manager or
be made available to the technical installations department ,
respectively, for examination by the authorities before the first show
day!
Please contact the hall manager should you have further questions.
Thank you for your cooperation and we wish you a successful time at the Show.
Reed Messe Wien
Technical Installations Department
Foreign employers have to electronically register the posted workforce during the set-up and dismantling work at the Central coordination center of the Federal Ministry (BMF) at the latest one week before their employment. The executive branch of the financial authorities conducts inspections at trade fairs to ensure all members of expo staff are registered according to Austrian labour laws. Reed, the exhibition organiser, has no influence over this process and is not informed in advance.
For further information, please contact the Central Coordination Office at the Federal Ministry of Finance: https://www.bmf.gv.at/betrugsbekaempfung/entsendung-zentrale-koordination/entsendemeldungen-zentrale-koordinationsstelle.html 
Self-dependant waste disposal
Unfortunately, at previous Reed Exhibitions shows a significant number of problems have occurred in connection with participating companies, their contracted stand construction companies, suppliers and delivery firms, and the disposal of packaging and sundry waste. Some companies have neglected their duties to remove their own waste as set down in the contractual terms and conditions.
For this reason we would like to point out once again that the disposal of all packaging and stand construction materials (most commonly disposable carpets, chipboard etc.) from the assembly and dismantling of your expo stand must without exception be carried out by the exhibitors themselves, by the contracted stand construction company and by the suppliers and delivery companies in question.
Please forward this information to all staff at your company involved with the trade fair. In the case of failure to observe these rules we shall be forced to contract external waste disposal services, the costs of which shall be passed on to you. We have been forced to implement these measures in the interests of all exhibitors due to the enormous costs of removal and storage of such waste. Thank you for your understanding. We hope to be able to count on your active support.
If you have any questions regarding waste disposal alternatives, please contact the caretaker responsible for your hall
Satisfaction of the basic requirements for trade fair participation by foreign exhibitors in Austria
Every exhibitor in Austria - who at the time of the trade fair is not registered as residing in the country, whose company is not registered here, nor has a habitual place of residence or an official place of business here, and who effects transactions in Austria which are not subject to a transfer of tax liabilities (particularly domestic business, sundry services to private individuals) – is obliged to register at the Finanzamt Graz-Stadt (City of Graz Tax Authorities) and to submit all preliminary and annual declarations of tax returns to this body.
To this end it is necessary to have a VAT ID number to be applied for as follows:
- Required form – Verf19 (German) or Verf19E (English): This list of questions establishes the right to be assigned a tax number/ VAT ID number. This number must be stated on all subsequent correspondence with the tax authorities. Link: https://service.bmf.gv.at/service/anwend/formulare/show_mast.asp?s=Verf19
- A copy of the commercial registry extract (trading license) and a copy of the articles of association for corporations.
More information is available at:
https://www.usp.gv.at/Portal.Node/usp/public/content/steuern_und_finanzen/umsatzsteuer/ust-veranlagungsverfahren.html
We recommend our exhibitors to complete applications and the submission process at least 3 weeks before the beginning of the fair to ensure all processing can be completed before the show.

Vienna City Council By-laws concerning local police regulations for trade fairs

(only available in German)
We would like to welcome you to our facilities and we hope everything is going well and according to your expectations.
This letter is to remind you and your staff at the expo stand in no uncertain terms, for your own benefit and that of others, of the legal restrictions set down in the official ban on smoking in public places. According to the current legal restrictions there is a general ban on smoking in all enclosed and publicly accessible areas.
Hence, these laws are also valid in their entirety for the facilities and grounds of the Messe Wien expo centre. This refers to all covered areas and to all people, without exception! Smoking shall be solely permitted in especially signposted open air smoking zones. At the Messe Wien venue most of these signposted zones are located next to connecting areas between the mall and the expo halls. The areas in front of the main entrance are not smoking zones! We also wish to clearly state that smoking is absolutely and categorically forbidden – without exception – at the expo stands. Any temporary rulings permitting smoking at expo stands under specific circumstances up to now are hereby rendered obsolete. Meanwhile, a number of non-smokers have made a point of reporting instances of violations to the police. In response the authorities have insisted we, the organisers, ensure there is strict enforcement of these legal restrictions.
Any violations must be reported to the police and may result in heavy fines for individuals contravening these guidelines!
We therefore request you completely respect these clear legal guidelines, in your own interest as well as for the welfare of the non-smokers. Please feel to contact us at any time should you have any questions. Thank you for your support and all the best for a successful show.
