In addition, as an exhibitor you are subject in particular to the following event-specific rules
and regulations that are relevant for implementation of the event’s hygiene concept.
The organiser – working closely with Expo Georgia as the operator of the exhibition grounds –
is responsible for the implementation and conscientious observance of the safety and hygiene
regulations on the exhibition grounds that are applicable at the time of the event. As an exhibitor,
you are responsible for implementation and observance at your stand, in the same way that
you are responsible for compliance with regulations governing occupational health and safety
and fire protection. Furthermore, the general and specific Technical Guidelines for the event
continue to apply.
Please update your stand construction concepts to satisfy protection and hygiene regulations.
It should be possible to designate a contact person at your company on request and the contact
details should be available at the exhibition stand
Please have Face masks, face shields for your representers at the desk, gloves, hand sanitizer
and cleaning disinfecting wipes for surfaces.
DISTANCING RULES
Everyone must act in such a way that they do not subject themselves or others to any unnecessary
risk of infection
If necessary, stand planning should allow for larger stands in which less area is occupied by
structures so that as many people as possible can be present on the stand simultaneously
Free-standing exhibits should be surrounded by generous open spaces, where necessary
with markings to help visitors maintain proper distancing
Presentations can take place at the stand (not more than 10 participants) as long as all
distancing and hygiene rules applicable at the time of the event are complied with. As long
as participants are told where to go and viewers are assigned spots.
In the event that exhibits, display cases, counters, displays, screens etc. are placed directly
at the edge of the stand, the exhibitor must ensure that groups of people do not gather in
the aisle
Live/personal product presentations cannot take place directly at the edge of the stand to
ensure that people do not gather in the aisles
Visitor traffic at the exhibition stand must be clearly directed to avoid gatherings of people
Get-togethers are feasible assuming compliance with a distancing and hygiene concept
(including the avoidance of gatherings of people), assigned seating (spaced to ensure proper
distancing) and clearly visible signage detailing the distancing and hygiene measures
Suitable structural measures (e.g. acrylic glass panels) or personal protective equipment
(face masks) must be employed during personal contacts or in meeting areas with tables
and chairs if minimum distancing cannot be maintained. However, a general obligation to
wear a medical mouth and nose protection is, depending on the pandemic situation and the
requirements of the authorities, not lifted.
The contact details of all participants are recorded via registration
It is not necessary to record contact details of visitors to the stand

Distancing and hygiene rules may result in delays during set-up and dismantling. That is why
we ask that you take advantage of the entire period offered by Expo Georgia for set-up and
dismantling
A face mask must be worn in all public areas of the building during set-up and dismantling
(aisles, foyers, entrances, toilets etc.). At each stand, however, the regulations of the
SARS-CoV-2 Occupational Safety and Health Standard issued by the Ministry of Health shall
apply.
The exhibitor must instruct all companies (exhibitors, stand constructors, service partners)
participating in a stand to comply with safety and hygiene regulations. Furthermore, everyone
must instruct their personnel regarding occupational health and safety. The resulting
measures are to be incorporated into a safety and hygiene concept in Georgian (in English if
required).
Make sure to contact your stand constructor well in advance regarding the implementation
of protection and hygiene regulations at your stand
