Deliveries & storage

Deliveries & logistics

The venue accepts deliveries no earlier than three working days before the congress.

All shipments must follow the labelling, delivery and loading instructions in the Exhibitor Manual. The venue may refuse shipments that arrive outside the permitted delivery period or do not meet the stated requirements.

ISAM 2026 does not appoint or provide a freight-forwarding service. Sponsors and exhibitors are responsible for arranging their own transport, courier services, delivery tracking and return shipments.

Storage & packaging

Storage space at the venue is limited and cannot be guaranteed. Please ISAM 2026 Congress Secretariat in advance if you expect to require storage during the congress.

Empty packaging, transport materials and other unused items may need to be removed from the exhibition area after build-up, in accordance with the venue regulations.

Please review the Exhibitor Manual before arranging deliveries or bringing large quantities of materials to the venue.

Registrations & important deadlines

Registrations & badges

Your signed Sponsorship Agreement states how many registrations are included in your package and which access rights apply.

Exhibitor badges provide access to the exhibition area. Access to the scientific program depends on the registration category assigned to the badge.

Registration instructions and badge collection details will be sent to your organisation’s main contact before the congress. Additional representatives may be registered, subject to availability and the applicable conditions.
