The associated exhibition to
e-2001 covers products, software, services, publications and
research projects. This event provides an ideal opportunity to
exhibit products or to demonstrate the objectives and results
of projects. Participation in the exhibition can be a very rewarding
experience, as it will give the opportunity to make Europe-wide
contacts and to hold meaningful discussions with industrialists
from many different sectors and countries.
For Commission funded projects,
involvement in the exhibition will significantly contribute towards
their obligations to disseminate information and assist with
their exploitation by helping to develop market awareness and
making industrial user contacts. Exhibitors at previous events
include companies such as, Asita Technologies, Astra Satellite,
EDS, MINEit Software, as well as research organisations, IST
projects and many small companies.
Exhibition spaces are free
of charge to all paid delegates. This means that companies and
organisations wishing to exhibit must register for the conference
and pay the conference fee for all the people who will staff
the exhibit. Further information about delegate fees can be found
elsewhere on this web site.
Exhibition space is limited
and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If
you have specific questions or booking enquires about the exhibition,
please contact the conference secretariat. An exhibition space
booking form can be downloaded in pdf format at the bottom of
this page.
e-2001 exhibits and posters
Meals and refreshments will
be taken in the exhibition areas.
Posters - content
It is expected that most research
projects will opt for a poster. Posters should concentrate on
showing actual or potential outputs rather than describing background
or technical developments. The aim should be for visual effect
by limiting the text (in English) and communicating by pictures
and diagrams. Typical questions that should be covered are:
- What problems are addressed
and why?
- What industrial benefits are
anticipated?
- What are the actual social
and environmental gains in time, resources or costs?
- How could outputs be implemented?
- What action (eg contact, read)
should the viewer take?
Posters - format
Organisations presenting posters
will be provided with a vertical panel one metre wide on which
to fix the poster. Posters may be any size but a useful standard
is landscape A1 (84 x 59 cms). Presenters should aim to produce
material to professional standards. Material should be prepared
in advance. Please avoid bringing separate photos or text to
put directly on to the panel.
Stands - content
Stands should actually demonstrate
something, such as computer software or equipment. (If you have
nothing but literature to show, you should apply for a poster).
Posters should be displayed on the stand walls and should generally
conform to the rules for posters given above.
Other sizes of stands can be
requested but availability cannot be guaranteed.
Stands - format
Stand space will be 2 metres
wide by 1 metre deep and where requested will be made from four
vertical panels each one metre wide. Stands will have a table,
chair and a 5 amp electricity socket.
