Transcript for "IBC2025 - Future Tech stands - how to make the most of your stand package": Hello, everyone, and welcome to our Future Tech webinar. We are so excited about Hall 14 this year, and it's our pleasure to take you through the marketing of the entire hall, all the individual sectors about the stand and the marketing deliverable. And then at the end of the session, we'll have time for some FAQs, and we ask that we do put them in the q and a section on your screen there. But firstly, I would like to introduce myself. I'm the sales and account management team manager and looking after Hall 14 as your dedicated sales account manager for this year. I'd also like to introduce you to Jamie, who is our exhibitor operations manager, Ayesha, who's our senior marketing manager, Andrea, who's the Hall 14 content producer, Tom from the Rye exhibitor services, and Henrika from the Rye hotel services. So you really have all of the experts here. We'll be able to answer any of your questions, and hopefully, we'll answer some of them in advance as we take you through all of the the different sections. So, it's lovely to have you all here. I'm gonna hand you over to Aisha who's gonna take us through the marketing around the whole of the hall. Hi, everybody, and welcome and good afternoon. Just really wanna give you a quick overview of what Hall 14 is and, you know, share the excitement that we have for this new area that we're launching this year. So Hall 14 is the home of Future Tech. It's more than just a hall. It's actually a destination. It's high energy, a hub of cutting edge technology, will be one of the main features of the show this year, and we're putting a lot of time into effort time and effort into curating the the hall and also in terms of marketing it as well, which I'll give you a little bit more information of in a moment in terms of what we're doing. So Future Tech, where tomorrow's media and entertainment technology comes alive, and it will bring together, pioneering companies, collaborative projects, emerging talent, and support leaders, who will come together and inspire inspire, inform, and connect the dots for the transformative technologies. So there's lots going on in rule 14. As I said, we're working through all of these, features at the moment, and we'll be sharing, obviously, more details about all of these as and when they, come through, obviously, over the next couple of weeks. But these are things that are all confirmed, and that will be taking place within the hall. So, obviously, exhibitors, you guys obviously have all joined us today as Hall 14 exhibitors. And, you know, we're really excited that you're all gonna be a part of this fantastic destination this year. So they'll be, you know we we've been carefully, with the sales team, we've been carefully curated this area with, obviously, all of the exhibitors, and we'll be bringing global tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Moses, Tata, and AWS, alongside, you know, start ups, all who will be showcasing their latest technologies, which are transforming the media and entertainment landscape. So the Accelerator Zone has moved into Hall 14 this year. And as as many of you hopefully know, the accelerators are the beating heart of future tech. The accelerate like I said, the accelerate accelerator program, was previously, in a different hall, and it it it's a complete great fit to be within Hall 14. And it will be returning with hands on demos of nine ground ground breaking proof of concept projects. Another new feature for us this year will be IBC x Google Cloud Hackfest. This is a two day event that will be taking place on Saturday and Sunday, and there'll be over a 150, innovators, developers, content creators coming together to solve, media challenges and, using tools such as Gemini. And this event is also supported by, Formula E. So it's a really exciting event that's coming together at the moment for that as we, obviously plan ahead. The AI penalty challenge, will be an immersive football AI experience demonstrating real time decision making and performance analysis. So that's another really exciting one to look forward to. Another one is the hundred years of television. So, this will be, a a a historical installation tracing a century of TV innovation from 1925 to the future, and we'll be showcasing iconic iconic hardware and creative milestones within, within this area. So one to definitely look forward to as well. Back for its second year and, focusing on nurturing the next generation of media professionals will be the IBC talent program, which will be taking place on the first day of the show this year, And, partners that who are already, working with us to curate this, content are for IBC owners. So, again, another another one to look forward to. And lastly here, the networking hub. So this will be space to mingle, collaborate, and do business. And this area will also host the inaugural IBC welcome jam. So as you can see in the in the snapshot here, lots going on within the hall and lots, obviously, to look forward to. So as a marketing marketing team, we're obviously really busy at the moment, marketing the show, driving registrations, and, obviously, Marketing Hall 14, as a as a as a separate campaign, really. So we've got lots going on in terms of all of the channels. So just to give you a quick snapshot, so email marketing, our strongest driver of registrations at the moment. We're sending out, you know, emails on a weekly basis. We have specific emails going out for all 14 as well to drive, football to that area talking about, obviously, the different features that I've just mentioned. We're currently working with our owners, as I've mentioned already as well, you know, sending out solo emails with those guys. And, yeah, lot lots of email activity going on, listed not all of the features as I've mentioned, and driving registrations. And registrations, by the way, are looking really, really strong. So, yeah, really, really good. Digital and social media. So, again, we've got lots of social activity going out promoting the hall. We're doing some paid campaigns in Google display, LinkedIn ads, etcetera, programmatic. So lots going on in terms of paid activity as well to drive registrations. The website the website the IBC website, our website, our shop window, we have a dedicated future tech landing page here. We have a dedicated tech section on 365 as well. We have articles, interviews, and coverage on there. We also have banners within our, Friday bulletins, and, again, lots going on there. As I mentioned, we're working really, really closely with our IBC owners, so doing a lot of activity with those guys, but also with all of our media partners. So we have over a 130 media partners. We work closely with them to promote the show, and also IBC or Future Tech is one of the key features that we're pushing, through our activity with those guys as well. And then just doing cross promotion with our partners such as Google Cloud, Formility, and the accelerator part participants. In terms of press and PR, again, lots of activity going on. So we have a dedicated press release that announcing the future tech, important team that will be going out within the next couple of weeks. We have a press briefing, which is taking place next Tuesday, June, where over 30 media professionals, and press will be joining to, you know, give, to you know, we'll we'll be giving them an update on what's gonna be taking place at the show this year. Mike Crimp, our CEO, will be on there along with our sales director and another head. So that's, one which obviously a lot of press, and coverage will come out on the back of that. Again, talking about Hall 14. And, also, we're working closely with, platform, our PR agency, to provide a lot of press coverage and also our partner publications as I've just touched upon. And then just in terms of on-site media, so once we get on the show, just to let you know what we'll be doing there. So we'll have digital info screens throughout the ride venue and conference areas pushing more people to Hall 14. There'll be directional signage, etcetera, and branding zones, for 14 and also an on-site app, which will, have notifications and an agenda build and integration. So these are all the things that are taking place, obviously, from a visitor marketing campaign. But at the same time, we are working closely with you, our exhibitors, to drive people to your stand because, ultimately, you know, we work really hard to get the visitors through the doors, but we also need your help to get them to your stands. So what we've got here is a multichannel marketing campaign. So webinars, this is obviously one of them. We'll work closely with you guys to make sure that we're giving you all the assets that you need to promote your presence at the show. And you probably would have seen a number of emails coming around already with your IBC codes. So please do use those to promote your presence at the show because, ultimately, you'll receive the data as a lead of anyone who registers using that invite code. And we also have a competition going on at the moment where you can win, an Apple Watch. So the most company exhibitor that has the most, leads will win that watch. Basically, it's simple as that. So we have communications going. We have our weekly insider that goes out on a Monday. So do look out for that because there's always some real key marketing updates in there, which provides really useful information from marketing point of view in terms of what we're doing. And as I mentioned, we've got some other channels here, you know, social media. You know, I've talked about the exhibitor competition and emails as well. And, obviously, your e zone, you know, please check-in regularly to your e zone, and look at the marketing and PR section because there's information in there, obviously, which will benefit you to promote your presence at the show. So, hopefully, together, we can work to, give you guys a really good IBC2025. So I'm going to hand you back over to Kim now. So thank you for your time. Thanks, Aisha. And just to answer your question, Peter, we will be recording this session, and it will be available afterwards for everyone to watch. And, so, yeah, if you can't listen to the whole thing live, then then it will be recorded, and then we'll send it out to you. So, here on the screen is an overview of the whole show. If you haven't been before, it is a huge show. But luckily for you, Hall 14 is front and center and very easy to find. So that's great for you as an exhibitor and and also our visitor. So I'm just gonna take you through all of the different stand packages, that we have. Just click on the next one. So, space only stand, it is what it says. Some of you on the webinar will be building your state space only stand, and the deadline to submit your stand plan is actually the June 20 tomorrow. But, of course, we have flexibility around that, but that's that's what we're aiming for. And and Jamie and Tom will take you through some of the deliverables. You will also some of you on this call will have either a six or a 12 square meter shell scheme stand. These are the images of what those will look like, and Tom will take you through how to upload your graphics and the deliverables associated around your shell scheme stand. And and that's all gonna look really, really great, within the hall. Included in just on the screen is what's included within your stand. I've also sent out an email last week that recapped everything. All of this is in the help center. So if you have any questions around what's actually included in your package, then do let me know. The six square meter shell scheme and here's the 12 square meter shell scheme is just bigger, more wall space, a little bit more furniture, and and larger graphics. There's also our pod stamp package. You can turn up and everything is ready for you, and we'll take you through some of the deliverables. Again, please let me know if there are any questions around what's included in your stand package. We then have everyone in Hall 14 has to have a marketing package associated with your stand. So there's the different levels of those, and I will take you through. I've sent everyone an initial email to get you started with all the deliverables depending on your type of package, and I'll talk you through them briefly now. If yours includes a speaking session, I will soon hand over to Andrea who will take you through more of the details of that. But I appreciate there are lots of different contacts people are reaching out to. So, again, if you're not sure where to start, let me know, and and we can go from there. So the bronze marketing package, you need to submit your, request form to Andrea, and she'll take you through that in a minute. And then if we go to the silver, that includes the speaking package. And, also, I did want to take everyone through what the future tech, preshow videos will be. This is going to be a two minute prerecorded video where we're gonna highlight what key trends are on the horizon for you and also briefly discuss what you'll be bringing to the IBC Future Tech. These are gonna be produced on dedicated days by our three six five team, and we will reach out to you. We're aiming to do this by the end of the month to secure which date you're available to record. These videos are gonna be hosted on IBC365. You will be provided them as well, and they'll be part of our Future Tech online preview event. The Future Tech online preview event is going to take place in early September. It's going to be a ninety minute digital event, which is designed to spotlight the innovation that you all of your exhibitors here are showcasing. The event's gonna have keynotes, live panel discussions, a showcase of our IBC Accelerators project, and, spotlight emerging talent and innovation. So there's more detail to come on that, but we will be in touch with you to make sure depending on your package, that you are all on board and secured a date for all of those recordings. If you have silver b, which includes the dedicated speaking oh, excuse me. The dedicated meeting service, and this also goes up for the higher tiers as well. Everyone should have been reached out to yesterday by Alina, who is concentrating on those dedicated meetings. And as part of the meeting service, your next step is to complete a briefing document so that they can then make sure that they understand your company's core value proposition, that we define your ideal car partners and customers, and we make sure that we get you the best meetings that we possibly can. So next step, fill out that form for her, secure your phone call with Alina, and then they will make sure that they get those meetings secured in advance of the show. As we go up, we have the gold, and Andrea is gonna take us a little bit more through the speaking opportunities around there, and all of the contacts have been have been emailed to you in advance. And there's just a little bit more even better once you get on to the platinum package, and we'll make sure that we deliver that the best possible way in the lead up to the show. I have to say it. There is still time. If you want to upgrade from your bronze any level, then just get in touch, and we can we can take you through that. So I'm gonna hand over to Andrea to take you through the the speaking side of things. Yep. Hi, everybody. I, as as as Kima said, I'm gonna be your contact if you have any kind of speaking, involvement included in your package. And this is the number of fairly straightforward deliverables I just wanted to run through here for you. The deadline at the top of all these slides, you can see in red underlined 07/25/2025. Please do get things over as soon as possible, sooner the better. But that's kind of the cutoff point for getting, the following over to me. So, kind of starting with if you're a platinum sponsor, or you have kind of an exclusive speaking session included in your package, what that means is that you kind of the onus is on you to curate that session. So you'll be given, a thirty minute slot, which we will allocate for you, the date and time. I'll be in touch to arrange a phone call with you to talk for your ideas, and you just kinda email the following over to me, directly. So we'll need that sort of session title, session synopsis, confirm names, job titles, company names for any speakers taking part, and that's exactly as you kinda want them to appear in all the comms, and also headshots, direct email addresses, and short buyers as well. All of that information will be reiterated throughout the process, but that's just to give you an idea of what will be required, for platinum sponsors. And on the next slide here, this is for anyone who is a gold or silver a sponsor, and so you are entitled to times one place on an IBC curated panel. So that means that we will be putting the panel together. You don't need to kind of pull and produce that yourself. All we need from you is your topic suggestions or preferences, for a panel that you would most like to speak on, and then IBC will kind of collate all that feedback, and kind of produce the panels ourselves and allocate you, your place on one of the panels that we think would suit you best based on the preferences that you've indicated. And you should have all been sent a link to a online form to submit this information, via a platform called Lineup Ninja that we're using this year. And that will just basically ask you for your preferences and suggestions for topics, And it will also ask you to put forward a nominated panelist speaker as well and all that associated speaker information. If you're not a 100% sure yet who you want to be your speaker, please just put somebody down. And if, you know, if any reason that needs to change at a later date, then we can then we can look at that. And you we are very welcome to have a phone call with myself as well if you want to kinda talk through your ideas first, or have any questions about the process. Very happy to jump on a phone call. And you will then be allocated your place on one of these panels, approximately one month out from the event. And then finally for bronze sponsors, so you're entitled to times one five minute pitch speaking session. So you will also have all been sent a link to a form online at Ninja, and from you, we'll just need a title for pitch, a little synopsis. Again, that that speaker information as well in terms of who's gonna be delivering the session. Again, just to reiterate, the sooner you get all this information over to us, the better, just so that we can kind of create the agenda, order it thematically, and you will be allocated your confirmed date and time for your five minute pitch approximately one month out from the event as well. So any questions at all relating to your speaking session, any issues with Lineup Ninja, any associated queries to do speaking, I'll be your best best port of call. Okay. Thanks, Kim. Okay. So that's over to me now. Hi, everyone. I'm Jamie. I'm in charge of exhibitor operations, for IBC. So I wanna go through how we can support you, and then later, I'll come back and talk a little bit more about, exhibitor, operations logistics that affect you as Hall 14 exhibitors. So how do we support you? Well, first of all, the e zone, we've already mentioned that in some of the previous slides, including your exhibition manual. So this is your one stop shop, your, exhibitor portal where you can plan and manage your presence, your stands, with us at IBC. Log in is on the screen. If you haven't already, please make sure you've logged in. Make sure that you can get access and then come back to support, come back to Kim if you still need, access for some reason, as we can get that sorted out. The sooner you do this, the sooner you know that you can get access, the quicker you can then, make sure that you're not missing deadlines, etcetera, etcetera. And I'll go through a basic kind of journey piece of how to get to, go through the zone, etcetera. So So we've already as Kim alluded to, we've already sent you these quick guides for both your stand, stand type and also your marketing package. So sort of, an overview of how to navigate all the various things that we're putting on the table for you to do. So we're trying to put this into a bite sized chunk so that it's easier for you to kinda look, especially if you're new to IBC, and work through the kind of steps that you need to do. And in essence, that's, a lot of what we'll do today is just breaking it down to those sections. So if you have any questions about the package, about what you, the delivery, the technical questions about your stand, the rye, etcetera, etcetera, you can reach out to customer support. And you can do that a number of ways. We've got support IBC dot org, so you can email in, and we will look to answer your questions within hopefully, within twenty four hours and get back to you, and and get you moving with the whatever query is that's coming. If you have a a quick question, if you think there's that that little bit of information that I need, you can use the live chat function. And you'll find that in the user, and you'll find that in the help center, and it's also on our website. And we also have the help center. If you haven't seen that already, you can access that from the e zone, from the website. And that is essentially a lot of the information is in your exhibitor manual, but it's wider than that because it covers the the whole of the show, whether that's from a visitor point of view, whether that's from, delegate side, but also as an exhibitor or a stand builder. It covers a a full range of, all the different parts that go into the FAQs of the show, and of being an exhibitor. And we also continue year on year to improve that on-site support to make sure that you are supported, that you know that you have a route to be able to get through to the ops team, to through to the ride, help with any questions, any any queries, any problems, haven't been there, anything happens, but we are there to support you. And there's a number of ways that we'll do that. And we'll be sending more of those sort of comms, getting you, show ready as we go through through July and into August. We'll we'll have more of that specific information ready for you. One of the ways that we would do that is through our monthly newsletters, and you should have been receiving these already. Kim will be sending you directly, the links to be able to do this. So, we house all of these on on the link that's on the screen. The next one will be next Thursday. We'll be sending that out. And that's a way of us condensing the the sort of hot topics of this month, the kind of upcoming deadlines, the things to remember at this point in time in that journey as you're getting to towards September, things that we want to to to remind you of and things that still need to happen, a really useful way and certainly to be able to share with colleagues any of those pieces that maybe for marketing side or for the, the stand side that you need to to share with others. We will have we have and we will continue to have a range of user guides and tutorials about, covering all that kind of logistics of of things like how to use various functionality within the, the e zone. You'll find them in the, in the exhibition manual, or we can send them to you directly, certain things around how to do your registrations and, aspects like that. Obviously, you found us, you found this webinar, but there are other webinars that we've already, already happened. So you can go back on and view those on demand, and this will be available, as Kim said, this will be available to view, afterwards, and you can share that with colleagues or or catch up, on any of the content. And there are future webinars, and I think the July, we will have, an open webinar with a number of, people on the screen for you to be able to ask any questions. It's not whole 14 specific. It's gonna cover the whole of the sort of exhibition spectrum. So it's a chance for you to ask us questions and and, no doubt you'll be, more getting more show ready and have specifics about your experience of coming on-site, being in Amsterdam, etcetera, etcetera. We're more than happy to help you. So, you'll see that in the next round of comms that will come to you. We've also curated verified suppliers, and that's a a list of companies that either we work with directly or that we have verified as well. So we put together a list of people that you can choose for the products and services that you need to help either build or, or create your stand presence for this year. Have a look at the list. Some of you, that have stand packages with us will already have a number of things already, included, which, Tom will talk about. But there may be other things that you wanna add to your, or services that you need, things like CEVA for freight forwarding and and logistics and things like that. So there is that list, and we have curated that for you. So I'm just gonna run through the, e zone very quickly. So when you first come in, if you haven't already, please, as I said, log in. You'll see that you have your company name. And if you want to change that, you need to get in touch with us, sooner the better. You'll have your stand location in this the the stand number, hall, which should be Hall 14, square meterage, etcetera, and the stand type. So if any of that isn't correct, please reach out as quickly as possible, and we can change that for you. You'll note in the bottom right hand corner is the, the bubble for the help, for the live chat. So if you do have any of those sort of questions, you can hit it, as I said, from the e zone, from the website, etcetera, etcetera. Exhibition manual, first thing up, please note, it's got all all of everything from a logistics point of view that we need you to know. Not all of it is necessarily gonna be relevant to either your stand type, or to your exhibiting experience this year, but we have to have covered everyone and everything that could be relevant to you. There is a specific, Future Tech zone, whole 14 section within the stand rules and regs. And that that is in there for a very good reason because we are effectively building Hall 14. It is a pavilion. I say, we are not doing any of the work. But it is a pavilion that is being built specifically to house, to to create the hall. So there are certain things that we can and can't do as a result of that process. So please make sure go in, have a look at things like the deadlines, the the various, height regulations. Those sorts of details are very important as to, your experience in Hall 14. Also, things like the, as it says on the updates, the lithium ion batteries, that's the, rulings from the IBC about what you can and can't bring in, the sizes and the types, what you can charge and what you can't. It's also included in the health and safety declaration, which, as Kim said, with the spam plan approvals, that is also due on the twentieth. So if you haven't already, please make sure, you do that as quickly as possible and just take note of, of the rules around that so that you understand your requirements for this year. Exhibitor registrations, you can manage and control all of that from the e zones. You can do single registrations. You can do bulk uploads from a spreadsheet of, for covering yourself and your colleagues that, will be, stand exhibitors with you. You can send out codes so that, email them out so that people can then follow the links to be able to directly register as a stand exhibitor. You'll be able to see your those who have used your, customer code to register as a visitor. Their details will physically, display here. The third one down, on that section. So go in and make sure familiarize yourself with the, exhibitor registration setup. The sooner that you are able to do those registrations for yourself, colleagues, once everyone has been registered, they then have access to their own registration portal effectively to be able to manage their, their badge details and more importantly, be able to, start their visa invitation letter. And that's something that each individual can control. So the sooner you register them, the sooner they can start that journey. Profile management and and, so by which you can upload things like your, logos and display product information, and tell the visitors who you are. So if you haven't already, do that as soon as possible so that you can start displaying exactly who you are, to the visitors that are searching through. And if you are interested, you can also upgrade your digital listing, put more emphasis, and unlock, having more, more visibility, more products, services, etcetera, visible within that setup. We have task management and an EZone checklist. So, again, familiarize yourself with that. There are a number of different tasks for you to to go in. You may have achieved some of those, so tick them off. Make sure you understand your, deadlines for that. And there's a more condensed checklist so you can understand the the steps of what you need to do based on your stand package. You can also jump out to the IFC help center as we, as we've discussed. And, also, if you want to add co exhibitors as, separate companies that you can have listed with you as appearing on your stand. Along with that, you can add additional e zone users, I e colleagues that you want to be in the e zone with you to manage certain elements of that. You can do that from a, you can add them, in the zone to be part of that. But note, and as most of you on this call are probably the primary coordinator for your, stand and therefore have been sent the zone login details, you will have the main, functionality to be able to make edits and changes and go into certain sections. You know, if you're a user, you won't necessarily be able to then go and make those edits and changes. So if that is something you do need someone else to be able to have the full control, then we'll need to change you, change to the primary coordinator. Again, email Kim, email support, we can make that change for you. Okay. Gonna run through a really quick journey here. So logging in, obviously, the most important step. I will reiterate, please, make sure you do that as quickly as possible so that you know that you can get in. Add your additional users and cover everyone that needs access to the e zone in some way. If they don't necessarily need access, but you want them to to share the information, then send out, links to the help center, which has all the same, information as the exhibitor manual, for example, and share that with, say, your stand builders or third parties that you don't want into the e zone. You can you can still share all of our all that necessary information. Manage your exhibitor profile. Make sure you've uploaded everything and you're visible from now onwards as as our visitor numbers are increasing, more people are looking and planning what they want to do. So the sooner you do that, the more exposure you'll give, to your company. Then review the various checklists, and, and the task management, the actual checklist, then make sure you get into things like the right web shop, and Tom will talk about that shortly. Your health and safety declarations we talked about, the stand plan approvals that we talked about, and understand, your deadlines and your checklist and what you need to do. We've condensed a lot of that into the quick guides that we sent last week, but there are still more depending on your stand type that you need to to make sure you understand as well. We are always here to help with that. So reading the exhibition manual, as I said, specifically, the all fourteen secondtion, future tech section, so you understand the specific requirements of being in that hall. Then go on, make sure you, log in to the right web shop. I will leave, full, explanation of all that to Tom. He's got a number of slides to help you understand your journey through that. We also have lead capture, and I'll I'll pick, that up in some later slides, but that's supported by Captello, and that is a portal from your e zone. And as I said, exhibitor registrations. The sooner you start that journey, especially if you know you need visas, quicker you you start that process, then you can have, access to your visa invitation letters and and start that process with the various bodies that you need to get your visas. So good place. I will stop talking. I will hand over to Tom to talk all things, the right workshop. Thank you so much, Jamie. And welcome, everybody. My name is Tom. I am the representative of Rye Exhibition Services. And together with my team, we will make sure that everything that needs to be ordered for your stand still, will be done fairly smoothly. I got I put up together some slides to make the journey as Jamie explained as well, and hopefully it provides enough insights to make sure that your preparation goes well. If not, we're always available, me and my team, to help and assist, to make sure it will not be a pain in the ass, but a smooth experience for, setting up everything for IBC twenty twenty five. Next slide. Yes. Thank you. Good. My computer problem was not running. A small, agenda. I will tell you something about, the team that we're representing, the webshop of IBC2025, and the web shop is the main, focus to see all products and services available, some relevant information that is copied from the exhibits manual of IBC, of course, so the information is always aligned. What exactly you need to be doing from login to ordering utilities if you're a space only and or, if you need more from the from the IBC stamp packages, how to manage the stand package that you have, perhaps ordered, the catering regulations and options. Perhaps you want some staff on your stands like a hostess or security and how to arrange that. And three weeks by a show, we always advise to, do the last couple of things before you enter the venue to make sure it will be as smooth as possible. The team. Now you can see some of the, phases already. There's a dedicated team of ride personnel that is helping you along the way. We can be reached by email and phone, and we want to make sure that your guidance through the web show will be, as best as possible because the web show will remain open at any time. So during the build up, during the event, you still can order, for example, catering or some, stand cleaning to make sure that even though if you have not prepared fully, you can still arrange it on-site. The web shop is available via phone, via laptop. You just need Internet, the URL. And to do so, you need to, log in. And, without logging in, it's still relevant because you can access the web shop. You can find products, services, and prices. So making a budget is always possible, and we assist in a couple of things. So on the right top side, there's the login, button. But on the main page, you can find a very, very smooth video of myself explaining how to do a login, but you can also find the PDF, manual, how to log in slash add users. And if everything doesn't go as it should be, in the right below corner, there's a green help button. That's not only for login issues, but that's for the whole, preparation and ordering phase. You can click on it, and you will get in a email conversation directly with one of my colleagues. If you are not building your own stand and and or not have purchased, a stand package via, IDC, but you have a stand builder that does the work for you, there's the option that we can provide a login for your stand builder. So it will be all in their hands, and you will be, looking, at the the right things to do. Please, let them reach out to the to us, the stand builder directly via the help button, and we will give them access, connect them to your stand, and make sure they can, log in. The complete explanation is standing here on the slide, and will be shared afterwards. Even though if you're on the payment page, and this is very important because sometimes not all invoice details are correctly, we want to inform you that you can still finalize the order. You can, on the payment page, change the invoice address and the details. And when you have finalized the order, we then, on the back end, will process the change of the invoice details to make sure that, when the invoice comes via email, a couple of working days later, it will be amended correctly. But you will not have to wait. You can just finalize the order, and preparation there is done. Utilities. Starting from the bottom. Due to that, you're located in Hall 14 and it's a pavilion. The deadline for utilities is a bit earlier. It's set on the August 13. And after that moment, it will not be possible to order power or Internet direct lines anymore. Please make sure you do on time. Please note also that water and rigging is not optional in all 14. All the further information, as Jamie already told you, can be found on the e zone. So it's an to to get to get a, yeah, a better understanding of what options you still have to make sure it will be as perfect and as, as required. The other deadline and most important deadline we communicate for most products and services is the August 21. It's also the early bird discount, on some, products and services, but it's also the deadline for guaranteed delivery. So before that moment, if you order stuff, stand security, house test, we always guarantee we still have it in stock. After that moment, products and services will still be available in the web shop, but only on if we have them on stock and still have them available. Just some advice, do not wait too long, make the orders, and you're done for. Regarding the utilities, power comes in two ways. You got the, regular wall sockets, the the standard power and or the professional power. Please look carefully on the web shop to to make sure you ordered the correct one. If you have any questions, please do reach out via the help button and do realize that we work with two types of power, daytime power that goes on from, two hours before show up until two hours after show and continuous power. And continuous power is twenty four seven power, but it's only applicable for, servers and bridges. That's due to safety reasons. It's all there on the on the web shop with, some clarifications, images, etcetera. But if you're still not sure, do not hesitate. Reach out to us, and we're more than happy to assist. Do while you're ordering the, utilities, you need to fill in an automatic grid. This will give us the information to where your requirements for power Internet needs to come. Our suppliers will make sure that the cables will have enough length and or it will be already on place. If you are on-site and it's not there, so you're missing something, there's a service that's close to the entrance, entrance k. There are people there behind the surface desk that are more than happy to assist. They are in direct contact with the suppliers, and we'll make sure that if if there's something missing, you will be helped, directly. This is what it will look like. If you are ordering from the left to the right power, it always comes via wall sockets or a CE outlet. The distribution box is closed and locked, so you cannot plug in. Please note that sometimes there will be a distribution box on your stand area. We try to make them, make them as small as possible and, make them on the correct locations. But if it's on located on your stand, please note you cannot plug in. You will you will get the the wall shock and or the CE outlet as ordered. And on the right hand side, you can find the hardwired Internet line. If you have ordered that, it will, come, from, from the grounds. It will be there on your stand. There's a phone number a letter and a phone number on attached to it. So if you have any questions regarding the Internet, for example, the speed or the connection or it's not enough, length on the cable, please call that number, and the tech services will come to your stand to provide assistance. Oh, sorry. One more thing. Regarding the Internet wire, hard line, if your speed is not sufficient, please note that we can always upscale, on-site still because the the hardwire is there, and we need we can do that from the back end just to, you know, to remember, cannot be done via the webshop anymore, but, it can be done from the service desk. If you have an IBC stand package, we provide, one of the three stand packages as shown on the image, and we, provide you with a service that you can manage it. The my stand page here, it says soon, but it is already in place from us today. When you come to the web shop and you have a stand package, you and you log in, it will automatically bring you brings you to the my stand page. And on the my stand page, you will find an image of the stand package. It's a default image. It's not how it really looks like because it can be a a u shape or a a a headstand depending on the location, but it gives you a default image and the the possibility to amend the face app text. It's the text that will be visible on the stand and, showcase your company name. Perhaps it's not your company name that you want to highlight, but something else that can be amended here at my stamp page. You will fill it in, save it, and we will process it. Next to that, it will give you a very clear overview of what everything that is included in your stamp package from all the types of furniture, and you can amend it. So you can, skip, delete if you're not, if you're not needed or add some, some of the items. So if it's, the specific chair you want to add, you can find the type of chair, click on add. It will go to your basket. And when you go to the payment page, you will finalize it. So it will be very easy to manage your stand via this tooling. You do have a graphic also included. If you have a graphic on the desk, it will provide you the option to upload the logo slash graphic for the desk via the My Stamp page. If you have, we do know that if it's a very strong or very, how do you say it, big file, it can say it's too big. Please do reach out to us via email. You can send it over via email, and we will attach it from the back end. Lastly, the Art of Fiber environment. If already and otherwise you will receive it soon, you will receive the email from Art of Fiber. And if in the link that is in the email, it will bring you to a three d environment of your stand. In this link, you can upload your graphics, your wall graphics. The one that is included can be uploaded for free. And on the, the the sidewall is optional to order additional. So depending on the look and feel of your stand and what you are planning to do so, you can, customize it fully or just make use of what's already included to make sure that your stand will, yeah, will shine and will stand out. If you have any questions about the Artifibre, you have not received the link and or if you not know, exactly how to use it, again, please reach out to us by phone or by email, and we'll be more than happy to assist. To give some guidance, on the top bar of the Artifiber environment, it says guides. Open it. It's a PDF file. Look through the file the the the steps. It's a seven step. If I recall correctly, it just explains how everything works. So, for example, it explains how to upload a file, and it gives you direct feedback if the file is correct in size and quality. And if one of those are not in, are not aligned, it will provide you the feedback on how to amend it. Again, just to make your life easier and give you a better understanding of what it would look like on-site. Case screen. And this is a very, relevant question because it makes your stance more, more stand out. It provides, some services for your colleagues, but also for your guests, and it will also, make sure that people are willing to come to your stand. But there are some, restrictions to it. On the right venue, own catering is not allowed. That's due to safety, food safety reasons, but also to brand management. And we as right are end responsible together with IBC, but that's what everything happens on the right venue needs to be in a safe manner. Somebody gets sick, our responsibility, and therefore, we're saying we need to provide all the types of catering that people want to understand, and that will be provided via the web shop. You you think it, and we can do it. From, breakfast, lunch, and, receptions, from, sushi, pizza, and curries, everything can be found either or in a mini market. It's a twenty four seven digital supermarket that will remain open during build up and show. But, also, if you want some customized catering, we got multiple options in the webshop. And if it's not there, you can find the catering brochure and or just reach out because we got catering specialists more than happy to assist to discuss what you're planning to do and find the best possible outcome. Almost done, Jamie. Sorry for taking up so much time. The staff, if you want to book a hostess or stand security, this can also be done from the web shop. Click on staff, select hostess or security, fill in the details, click in the dates, and go to submit, and it will be, placed in your basket for finalizing the payment. Lastly, three weeks prior show, the logistics management system will go open, and this is especially needed for planning and booking a time slot for unloading and loading, also for during the breakdown. Please make sure to set it in your agenda three weeks for your prior show. Go to it's free. It's free of charge, but it needs to be done from the webshop without logging in. You can go to the loading and unloading page, click on, make a booking, and follow the steps. Easy it just explains itself, but it needs to be done to make sure you can unload here for, for the time you have booked for. Together with the IBC exhibitor badge, there's also access and batches from ride point of view, especially during buildup. You can make use of them also if you're coming by car, because with the exit with the buildup badge. And during build up, you can ride out freely from the parking garages from Rye. And, we want to know who's in the in the venue and in the building. And especially late later on with decorating, you can also use the IBC exhibitor batch. That's it for my point of view and from Lare exhibition services. I'm more than happy to hand out to Henrike. Hello? Yeah. Perfect. Thank you so much. My name is Henrika, and I am your representative from Rye Hotel Services. We help you with finding a hotel during the show and make sure, that you don't have to worry about that, that you can just fully focus on the show. We are the only official housing agent. So by working with us, you just know that you will have guaranteed, the best available rates that you can find. And we have a dedicated team that knows the city. We visit all the hotels in Amsterdam, like, on a weekly basis. Like, we are in touch with them a lot. So, if you have any questions about the hotel or anything that you would like to arrange in your hotel room, we can always help with this. And firstly, I would like to tell you something about Amsterdam. Like, some of you have been there already during previous exhibitions, but other, maybe have not. So this is a map of Amsterdam and where you see the blue metro line, the last stop you see is metro Station South and the stop before is Europapplein, and that's where the right convention center is based. So you can see that the Convention Centre is based in the South Of Amsterdam. But due to this great connection, this great metro line that we have nowadays, you can easily reach the city centre, but also Amsterdam North within just ten to fifteen minutes. So if you're looking for a hotel, and you want to reach the venue very quickly, it's always good to see, like, if this hotel is located near a metro line, because sometimes it feels like a hotel in Amsterdam South is much closer than, for example, a hotel in Amsterdam North. But due to this great connection, the hotels in Amsterdam North are usually, even quicker to reach, so, even more convenient. So we go a little bit more into detail about this, about the rates that you can find, online. So if we start at the Amsterdam North area, so that's the gray circle in the, in the image. You can see this, for example, there are hotels that can be booked. One example I took is the NH Amsterdam North, and we have a contracted special event rate there from €250 per night. Well, if you go to booking.com or another online website like Trivago or the hotel's own website, you will find rates, above €300 per room per night. So what I want to make clear here is that, it's the same hotel room. It's just a shame, if you pay too much while it's not necessary. So we would really like to assure you to just go via the online the official channel. We have negotiated really, good rates for you, so please make use of that so you don't pay too much. Another example, like, if you go to the city center area, that's the area in the blue circle, there's also many hotels there that are close to the metro line. Also, you can see the price difference there as well for the most big hotel that I picked there. Also, around the right, so in the red circle, there's a there are many hotels available. I picked the Olympic hotel, for example, which is only one metro stop away. Please note there's many hotels that are only one metro stop away so that you can reach in, like, only ten minutes from door to door. Also here, if you see that rates that we have there around little above €300 per room per night, well, on other booking websites, you will find rates that are even above €400, which is like a €100 difference per room per night, which is a lot, especially if you're coming with more people. So please, have a look at the official, event website that we have. How to find our website is also very important. If you go to the official IBC website, you can go to plan your trip, where you will find the link to our website. But, also, I'm, of course, not doing this all by myself. We have a whole team here to assist you. The we are here with 20 people, like, assisting you if you have any questions about hotel services. But the people you will be most in contact with are my colleagues, Evelyn, Chantal, Baldwin, and then myself. We can be reached via phone, or via the email address that is shown on the, on screen here. And we're also there, the whole weekend, like, during IBC. Like, if you have any last minute changes, we're always there. So don't feel free to reach out to us, and we can always help. Also, if, indeed, you would like to organize something in a hotel, you would like to place things in a room, you would like to stay together with another exhibitor, All these questions we're very used to, so please let us know if there's anything with that we can help with, because that's what we're there for. Yep. Thank you so much. K. Thank you very much. I will, take over. I think there's a couple of points I just wanna, piggyback off the back of that. Firstly, you may not know, but, all, attendees, visitors, exhibitors will get access to a GBB travel pass. So you get free travel, which, to Enrique's point, means that you can, travel for free between the hotel and the rides. You don't have to be, you know, even a stop away. You can be further knowing you've got that travel covered, during the showtime. And also to cement the reason why you you should be using ride hotel services, I got a call today from someone claiming to be from exhibitor services team, I think it was, trying to get me to, book my hotel with them. I don't know how they got my number, but they were quite surprised by my response, when I told them, what I thought of that. So there are unfortunately, not only are there more expensive prices with legitimate companies, there are also companies who are trying to extort the, the fact that you are coming along, to IBC with, pretend made up, bookings. So please, do we have some information about that in in the manual, about scam phishing, things like that? So, again, using people like Henrique using our verified suppliers. Okay. We've got, not that long left. I will try and get through this as quickly as possible just to cement the final few points, on the operational logistics side. So stand build pages, again, this is part of the help center. This is all the information that your stand builders, any third parties would need to know that covers all those kind of logistics questions, all the technical details, especially around Hall 14. So that's the link to that. You can get this the, help center from your manual. We are constantly updating. If there's anything new, we will put little updates in there. So please, use that. You might find that easier to navigate than the ease end depending on how you wanna find your information. So, Stanville pages in the help center, they're there. Technical setup day. Next thing I wanna talk about. So if you are if you have exhibited with IBC before, you'll notice this is one of the sort of chain the main sort of operational changes that's happening from last year to this year is that we're having a technical setup day on the Thursday, the day before the show opens. I'll move on a slide. So what that means is, for those of you who are space only okay. So this isn't a package. This is space only. You can start building from Friday, September. That's included in your package, and you have all the way up to the end of Wednesday, September, to construct your stand. That is building the stand, the floor, the walls, the graphics, the infrastructure that actually goes into the physical construct of your stand. There is early access day on the September 4 that you can pay for that, as an extra if you wanted to. I suspect you probably, if you're Hall 14, you probably won't need to based on the sizes and the complexities that are more, useful for those of you who would be a double decker stand, which you can't have in Hall 14, but that is there as a possibility. Your stand builders might want to go, pay for that if they're building multiple stands, for example. But you have from Friday, September, to Wednesday, September, to have your stands built if you're space only. On Thursday, the eleventh, that is technical setup. There is no construction of your stand, no painting, no sanding, no cutting. None of those things will happen. Your stand builders effectively, should leave site by the end of Wednesday. All of that should be set up. If anything, it will be final detailing, if at all, but it's the time that you are able to finish setting up the stand ready for show day. So it's like a dress rehearsal. You're not building the set. You're just going through what it is it's gonna look like on the show day. So if you have technical equipment that you're displaying, that's the day that, you've got your all of that day to fine tune it and make sure it's set up and ready. Those of you who have a stand package, so space so shell scheme pod, you can come in on Wednesday, September, and you can start setting up, or you could come in just on Thursday if you if you are happy that, the majority of what you're displaying is already included in that package and you're bringing, you know, it's not that complicated for you to set up your equipment. You can come in on Thursday the tenth and do that. Please note, if you are coming in on Wednesday the tenth or if you're a space only, any days from Thursday the fourth to Wednesday the tenth, they are build up days. Therefore, you need to wear PPE, I. E. High vis, side boots, hard hat. Any everyone coming in on Thursday the eleventh, there is no PPE requirement. It is not a build day. It is a setup day only. It's the same as show days. And that is a significant difference and should make, the majority of your exhibitors coming in on that day an easy experience as well. All of this, of course, is in the help center annual manual, and, if you have any questions, obviously, let us know. Deadlines, I think pertinent to mention. I think there's few people that have asked the question. So what Kim and I have mentioned, so tomorrow, the deadline is for space only stands, submitting their plans to say what they're building. If you're a shell scheme, if you're a pod, we already know what is being built. The RIOT doing that. You don't need to submit those plans. Your planning of that, you can still carry on. This is the deadline for saying, third party is coming in, constructing the walls, and and putting everything together, and that's the checks that we need to do. So if you are space only, tomorrow is the deadline, and tomorrow is the deadline for paying your SPI fee, your stand plan inspection fee before it then increases afterwards. The health and safety declaration that all exhibitors need to complete to say these are the items we're bringing in and for us to check that those items are going to be okay. That is also tomorrow. We have a little bit of time after that if it rolls into, the the next few weeks. So deadlines are in there. Like I said, go into the, look in the e zone. We've got services deadlines, as Tom alluded to. Yours are earlier for things like putting in, Internet cables for additional power, for example. That is an earlier deadline because, basically, we're building, building the floor and putting that in so, things like cabling has to be done ahead of time. So with that, ICT so included into the package, we have so whole 14 will be Wi Fi enabled. Sounds very simple, but for a show like this and for venue like the ride covering such a large space, it takes a lot more to do these things. But we have part of your package, we have included Wi Fi connections for, for all the stand packages. We will send you the SSID and the password ahead of time so you can configure anything. Someone's asked a question about, bandwidth, and that is a good question and brings me to, one of the reasons why I'm talking about ICT is Mainly because, so the Wi Fi can be affected by things around you and and by systems, that people are are doing. So bandwidth wise, I would, view the Wi Fi as between, say, five and ten megabits per second, for example. If you are thinking of using that to display your, your systems and if you don't have an offline version, and it's critical to what you're doing, then we would always suggest a hard line connection to guarantee the connectivity, and you can build the security that you can have on top of that. So, there are a number of factors that can go into affecting the strength of, the Wi Fi. Now we think this is more than robust, but when you are layering lots of people and lots of equipment, especially in a show like this, it can be, it's not always guaranteed at that point. So for security, for, strength of connection, we would recommend get a hard line connection so that you have that, that guarantee. With that, you can set up a Wi Fi network from that hard line, but there are certain rules to doing that because you could affect your your speed and the speed of others around you. And that's all part of the on the right website, as you do that. I should also mention that you can't just bring in your own, say, five g pointer, wireless router, that's that's connecting to five g, for example, and create your own Wi Fi. That isn't something you can do, and we will actively be policing. And if, if you're found to be doing that, unfortunately, we'll have to ask you to, to turn that off. You have Wi Fi included, so you can use that, of course. Included in your package is lead capture, managed by Capello. Go into the e zone. Click on the lead capture section. You have, licenses included into your packages. So, they are already in there in your, in your basket effectively ready to check out, and you can add to that. CapTel do a range of, their own webinars and information about the wider way in which you can use lead capture, manage, lead capture services and things like that. So check out that side of it as well. And just final note, final two notes, you would have already been emailed by your hall writer. They are gathering in, stories to put into the IBC daily of which you are able to submit as a part of your package, submit some information already. So, I think it's Anne Morris for hall fourteen. Yes. Anne. So you already had an email from her. She will continue to email, and ask for submissions to that. Very quickly, obviously, floor plans. So there's a link to expert cats as a sales floor plan. So you can see the kind of live, live plan. Technical floor plans are also available. We will be updating the whole 14 ones. If not this week, then next week. The next round of, freshly updated technical plans are available in the help center. Particularly important for those of you who are, space only and need to plan and look at, the exact measurements. There are, some small pillars in the hall, for example, so that might affect your stand. So be aware of that, but the technical plans are available. And I'm going to stop talking. Thank you everyone for your time, and we appreciate a lot of companies in Hall 14 are new to exhibiting to IBC or you have a new primary coordinator, and it is a lot of information. So we are here to help you. You can reach out to me, and I will direct you to the right person. As Jamie mentioned, we have our support team, who are very quick to respond, often quicker than me, and they, they will come back to you on any technical questions. And your e zone as well is a really good place to start and the help center. We're gonna continue to update the help center as questions come in from you guys, so we'll build that ongoing as we go to the show. I recognize we have run over a little bit, but I do wanna make sure that we allow a couple of minutes for questions. I do see a question in here which is for you, Tom. It says, if we're looking to affix monitors to the shell scheme package or even the pod, am I correct in thinking we need to order reinforced back wall for the stand? And if so, where can this be done? Yes, Kimberly. Thank you. This can be done for the web shop. Nonetheless, we'll still contact you when you have ordered so because we want to know the exact location. If you have any questions about it, just reach out to us via the help button. We will together look at stand, feed the out of fiber environments to indicate the correct location. We can provide you with a proposal for the wall reinforcements, and you can sign and, it will be settled. And, of course, when you come to the stand already, it will be there placed now. Thanks, Tom. I think all of the other questions have been answered, over the course of the slides. We've kind of mentioned them as we go. So, I'll get just give it one more minute, if there are any other questions. Otherwise, we will close the webinar there. But, again, now you know what we look like. We're here to help, and we are very happy to help. And we all want to make this a really successful show, and we're we're really looking forward to it. I don't think there are any more questions. So we will as Jamie mentioned, next week, I will send our monthly update. In that, I will include the link to this presentation and the deck and, any other FAQs that come on the back of that. So thank you so much for your time, and we look forward to working with you. Alright. Goodbye, everyone.
