FLOORPLAN
The HIRE26 exhibition will be held in The Dome and Hall 2A.
Each exhibitor has been allocated a space within the exhibition space and the floorplan is available to download and will be updated regularly. Please note: the floorplan is subject to change.
Prior to HIRE26 you will be provided with confirmation of your final booth number once the final floorplan has been released.
ACCESS
During completion of the Online Exhibitor Form you will be required to advise what equipment and/or vehicles you will be bringing and whether you require access to the loading dock. From this information your Loading Dock Access Time within your Bump In & Bump Out ZONE timings will be scheduled.
Due to loading dock restrictions, it is extremely important that all information provided is accurate, and changes are communicated through to No Fuss Event Hire who will be managing access to the loading dock.
ON ARRIVAL AT THE LOADING DOCK
Access to the Exhibition Hall loading dock is off Australia Avenue (Gate 13) with the exit at Gate 15 (this exits onto Murray Rose Ave). The loading dock is a one-way road. Sydney Showground controls access onto the loading dock and parking in the Fire Lane is strictly prohibited.
Contractors & Exhibitors will not be granted access to the Loading Dock without a high vis vest and enclosed footwear.
No Fuss Event Hire will be managing access to the loading dock. Loading dock marshals will direct you up the ramp and transport your equipment directly to your exhibition site from your vehicle as you arrive with use of a forklift if required. Vehicles are not to be parked or left unattended at any time and are to be moved from the loading dock area as quickly as practical. See ‘Parking’ on the Venue page for more information.
It is important that your Loading Dock Access Time is strictly adhered to. If your vehicle/equipment arrives outside of your allocated loading dock access time you will not be permitted access, you will be turned away and be asked to return at your allocated time. If you do not require access to the loading dock, you will be able to setup your booth during the bump in hours.
