Rigging requirements must be submitted along with images of the banner design and a grid scale drawing illustrating the position of the banner in relation to the exhibitor’s stand. 

Please include any rigged items in space only stand designs, risk assessments and method statements. 

All rigging orders must be placed by 18 October 2022 to take advantage of the early bird rate. Orders submitted after this will be charged on the standard rate and orders placed from 12 November 2022 onwards will incur 50% more of the standard rate. 

The underside trim height for all banners at GESS 2022 is 6 metres (meaning the underside of all banners must be at 6m).  For vital rigged/suspended stand design elements, these will be reviewed & assessed on a stand-by-stand, design-by-design basis.
