  • Consider sustainability and the environment in the design planning.
  • Hire as many components as possible, furniture, AV, use modular build units, use digital or reusable signage, look at products that have a full life cycle and come from and can be recycled. Consider using local suppliers, products & labour to minimize the logistical impacts.
  • Consider accessibility in the design planning to allow for disabled access to the stand.

Exhibitor Standards & Code of Conduct

  • All items that you require for exhibiting must be delivered before the show opens or after the show closes each day. Please note that RX staff will not sign for deliveries.
  • All stands must be fully staffed, operational and exhibits displayed to visitors during the open times of the exhibition.
  • The exhibitor may not undertake, or cause to be undertaken, any activity which, in the opinion of RX Global, is likely to cause any annoyance to visitors or other exhibitors. In particular, audio visual display equipment must be positioned and the sound level so adjusted as to comply with these requirements. The maximum permissible total sound level in any area of the show is 70dB (slow), measurable at a distance of 3m from the source of the sound using directional decibel meter.
  • All activities of exhibitors and their staff must be confined to the stand site allocated. No advertising or canvassing for business may take place elsewhere in the exhibition area, without prior approval from Reed Gift Fairs Sydney.

All display material, furniture, seating and selling aids must be kept within the perimeter of your stand. This is a WH&S requirement.

Failure to comply with this regulation may result in your stand being closed down. This refers to product being displayed in the aisle ways but also refers to exhibitors selling from the aisle. This is not only a severe safety breach but can also be detrimental to your neighboring exhibitors who could be adversely affected. So please note you are unable to locate yourself and/or your staff in the aisle ways to sell.

An exhibition is a professional, business event. It is essential that exhibitors uphold a high level of professional conduct at all times during the exhibition. In the interest of fairness and respect to all exhibitors and visitors, we request the following Code of Conduct to be adhered to for the duration of the exhibition: 

  • Exhibitors must maintain a high level of respect and professionalism in all interactions, both verbal and written.
  • Communication should be courteous, considerate, and aligned with the standards expected at a professional business event. This includes but is not limited to respecting the intellectual property/copyright of other exhibitors’ products and not engaging in slander or defamation. Whilst RX does not take responsibility for this, court orders or injunctions will be upheld and allegations will be reviewed as part of the ongoing curation process.
  • All engagement with attendees and other exhibitors should contribute to a positive and productive environment, fostering mutual respect.
  • We ask all exhibitors to take responsibility and accountability for their own behaviour and co-operate with investigations or other process in relation to any such conduct complaint.
  • Exhibitors must not use any surrounding aisle space to display product. This is a WH&S requirement.
  • Exhibitors must make themselves known when visiting another Exhibitor's stand and not enter without an invitation from the stand holder.
  • In the event an exhibitor is also a buyer, this must be disclosed to the stand holder.
  • At no time can an exhibitor remove material from another exhibitor's stand.
  • No photographs or video/filming are to be taken of stands or products. Exhibitors must respect the time, effort and expense taken on exhibits by their fellow exhibitors.
  • Do not continue with business after the show hours. We need to ensure all visitors and exhibitors have vacated the premises to ensure general security of the exhibition.
  • To ensure that visitation is not diluted with personal shoppers, cash sales of display stock are only permitted on the last day of the event. At show closing time, the venue will become a work site and no access will be given to buyers to pick up purchased products. Please arrange alternate pick-up or delivery plans for these buyers.

Non-compliance with this code of conduct may result in immediate removal from the event without reimbursement. Our goal is to maintain a positive, respectful experience for all participants, and adherence to these guidelines is essential.

It is a requirement that all business is conducted on your stand.

  • Promotional staff are not allowed to walk the halls or give out any promotional material; they must remain on your stand at all times. 
  • Promotional staff must at all times conduct themselves in a professional manner and must be respectably dressed at all times.
  • Canvassing or soliciting for business by non-exhibitors or unauthorised personnel during the exhibition is strictly prohibited.
  • Promotions and stand sales must take place from the exhibiting company's space/ stand only. No hawker or pamphlet drop can be done outside of the contracted exhibiting space.
  • RX Global reserves the right to remove any exhibitor's promotional or sales staff found canvassing from the exhibition venue.

Any exhibitors in breach of the above Code of Conduct will be addressed by RX Global staff during the exhibition and asked to comply. Persistent refusal to adhere to the Code of Conduct may lead to the closing of an exhibitor's stand and/or the exhibitor not being permitted in future events organised by RX Global.

No exhibitor is allowed to sub-let or allocate space on their stand to another company without prior consent from RX Global.

Custom Stand Rules & Guidelines

If you are building or have appointed a contractor for the installation or dismantle of your space only stand you will need to complete the Reed Gift Fairs Sydney 2025 Stand Declaration form which will ask for a number of requirements needed for RX and the venue to approve your design. 

Stand designs must be submitted in conjunction with the RX Custom Stand Guidelines below. 

If anything else is required, you may be contacted through our stand plans email address: [email protected].

If you have a Space Only stand or plans to modify a shell scheme you need to ask RX for approval to use a Supplier/Contractor. A Supplier/Contractor is defined as any company (other than the official exhibition contractors) that an exhibitor wants to use inside the exhibition hall, before, during and after the show. 

  • All ‘Space Only' structures must be approved by RX at least four weeks prior to the start of the move-in. Construction onsite will not be permitted without prior approval (please see below on how to gain approval).
  • Please consider sustainability and the environment in the design planning.
  • Hire as many components as possible, furniture, av, use modular build units, use digital or reusable signage, look at products that have a full life cycle and come from and can be recycled. Consider using local suppliers, products & labour to minimize the logistical impacts
  • Please consider accessibility in the design planning to allow for disabled access to the stand.

  • Exhibitors must provide their own walls. No reliance can be placed on the surrounding stands providing your walls. You must not use the adjoining walls in any way if you stand is joined to another.
  • All space only stands must provide walling to a min 2.4m high and ensure the stand built is structurally sound.
  • Stand walls that sit on the aisle way must not exceed 6m in length and must have a minimum 3m break/gap for access to the stand to ensure safe traffic flow is maintained across the show. Walling along the perimeter of your stand is subject to approval by RX Operations to ensure line of sight and access is maintained; or the walls are required to sit 1m into the stand space and have the 1m depth between the stand boundary and the wall dressed in the exhibitors brands or products.
  • The dimensions and position of your stand will be marked out with tape to show the boundary of your stand. Do not build outside of this perimeter.
  • RX will not supply any signage for ‘Space Only' stands. Exhibitors are required to provide their own sign showing their stand number.

  • If your stand is over 2.4m in height:
    • The exhibitor behind you will then be notified by RX and if there are no issues the height of your stand will be approved.
    • It is your responsibility to dress the back of the stand in a clean black or white painted finish panel and at no time can there be attached signage looking over or intruding on other exhibitor’s stands. A minimum of 1 metre clearance from the rear or side neighbouring wall must be met for signage or banners sitting higher than 2.4m. 
  • Approval will not be granted to stands over 4m in height until a safe work statement (JSA) indicating the safe work practice of installation/dismantle is supplied and approved by the Venue and RX Operations Manager.
  • If your stand includes rigging (hanging banners); the bottom of the banner must be a minimum of 5 metres from the ground and at least 1 metre above the wall height and 1m from the boundary of adjoining stands. Rigging over aisles ways is not allowed unless prior approval form the RX Operations Manager (Rigging heights not applicable for GPCE Sydney and Life Instyle. Please refer to the specific stand design guidelines for that show).

  • Space only stands will be provided with bare concrete floor. All space only stands must provide a floor covering that meets event WHS requirements. If you do not wish to have flooring, please seek approval from RX Operations. To request carpet tiles, please contact the official stand build contractor.
  • Rugs, cane mats, vinyl or linoleum flooring, tread plate sheets, 5mm clip flooring and carpet tiles over existing carpet all need to have edges taped down to the existing carpeted surface. A 50mm heavy duty tape or gaffer type tape is advisable.
  • Access must be available for power supply to the distribution board located from the pit on some stands, this must be factored into the design of a stand with flooring of any type.

  • All raised floors, steps and ramps within exhibits are to comply with the relevant sections of the Building Code of Australia. Any raised floor sections must be clearly distinguishable from areas of the surrounding floor space.
  • All raised floors up to 115mm will require a suitable and clearly distinguishable ramp from the main exhibition floor. The ramp must be of a gradient no less than 1 to 3 and must be contained within the contracted stand space. Ramps cannot protrude into the nominated aisle way.
  • All raised floors with a height greater than 115mm but less than 190mm from the main exhibition floor level or surrounding platform will be regarded as a step. Although ramped edging is not required, the stand will require a ramp in accordance with the Building code of Australia for disabled access.
  • The raised floor sections or ramps must not contain sharp or dangerous edges and must not cause a trip hazard.

Sustainability

RX is a founding signatory to the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge. This commits us to reduce our greenhouse emissions by 50% by 2030 and to be net zero by 2050. In fact, RX is on a faster trajectory than the rest of our industry as our parent company RELX, signed the Climate Pledge committing us to be net zero by 2040.

You can learn more about what net zero means to RX in this short video: NET ZERO EVENTS - YouTube

RX has introduced a Sustainable Criteria for Custom Stand Designs to raise awareness and promote exhibitors with custom stands to use sustainable alternatives in their stand design and build. The criteria will form a questionnaire that reviews each component of an exhibitor’s custom stand, such as the build materials and signage used and their outcome after the event. We will also take into consideration where the stand is made, freight transportation and labour hire to gain a broader representation of the stand’s environmental footprint. Based on your answers in the questionnaire, you may be asked to make modifications to your design. 

  • Hire as many components for the stand as possible including furniture, av, and use modular build units.
  • Consider using digital signage and make any printed signage non-event-specific so that it can be used multiple times.
  • Consider using local suppliers, products and labour to minimise the logistical impacts.
  • Reduce the need for printed materials by using QR codes to download information and replace the need for business cards by utilising RX’s lead scanning mobile app Lead Manager.
  • Use products that have a full life cycle that come from and can be recycled.

  • Water Refill Stations will be placed near the hall entries and cafes. Bring your own reusable drink bottle and refill it at one of our water refill stations throughout the day. Interested in sponsoring this initiative? Talk to our sales team today.
  • RX promotes the use of “reusable cups” onsite to reduce waste. Discounts on hot beverages are available for those using a reusable cup at participating venues.
  • RX Operations are working with venues to provide additional waste streams and better signage. If you require a particular waste stream for your stand, please contact RX Operations.
  • Post-show donations – many venues offer the ability to donate furniture and products to charity after the event. Please contact RX Event Production if you are interested in donating.
  • RX includes Carbon Friendly food items on all of our café menus via a cloud icon and CF (Carbon Friendly) next to the specific items.
  • QR codes will be used for onsite registration, removing the use of paper forms, counters, and labour.
  • RX offers sustainable stand packages for exhibitor upgrades. Talk to your Sales Manager for more information.
  • All exhibitors and contractors must use LED lighting only. The use of Halogen lights is now banned.
