Dear Exhibitor,
This ERS 2016 Exhibitors’ Technical Manual is designed to assist you in preparing for a successful event and contains important information. Please read the information in this manual. It will take you very little time now and could save you a great deal of time later.
The Exhibition will be held in conjunction with The 26th Congress of the European Rhinologic Society in conjunction with the 35nd
International Symposium of Infection and Allergy of the Nose & the 17th Congress of the International Rhinologic Society (IRS) taking place in Stockholm, Sweden on 3-7 July 2016.
We recommend Exhibitors using independent booth contractors to include a site visit in the planning process to assure a smooth and well planned set up. Please contact Robert Larsson of the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre at: robert.larsson@stockholmwaterfront.com to coordinate a visit.
The Exhibition floor plan has been designed to maximize the Exhibitor’s exposure to the delegates. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information or assistance.
Warm regards, Hanna Safier hsafier@kenes.com
