If your product requires demo space, you will need to submit a demo request. This form can be requested from your startup success manager at any stage before your profile completion deadline.

Demo requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we will do our very best to accommodate, where possible. You will not be permitted to demo a large product without approval from our production team. 

Anything our team deems a possible obstruction, eyesore or noise pollutant, or anything that could negatively impact attendee experience at the event, will not be permitted.

For your product demo to be considered, it must:

• Be your product.

• Fit on your booth (check our booth dimensions above).

• Not negatively impact your neighbour or other attendees by blocking walkways, being too loud, or taking up extra space.

Some examples of a demo request that would be denied:

• Pull up banners or other marketing materials. Your demo must be your product.

• Animals. Only service dogs are permitted in the event venue.

• Food. The distribution of food is against our health and safety guidelines.

• Excessively large or bulky products, such as a car or free-standing robot. This will not fit at your booth.

If you are unsure whether your product fits the above description, please get in touch with your startup success manager.

We have provided some examples of prohibited items below. This is not a comprehensive list, so if you have any items that you are unsure about, please contact your startup success manager. We will decide on a case-by-case basis. If you arrive with unsuitable items, you will be asked to remove them from your booth.

Prohibited items and actions include (but are not limited to):

• Customisation. We do not allow any board customisation, including large stickers and writing on the board.

• Bringing your own printed board. We will provide you with a printed board on your exhibition day. You are not permitted to bring your own.

• Balloons.

• Furniture items.

• Food and drink for distribution.

• Flashing lights and fairy lights.

Anything our team deems a possible obstruction, eyesore or noise pollutant, or anything that could negatively impact attendee experience at the event, will not be permitted – and may be removed if present at your startup booth. Please raise any queries with your startup success manager.

Material

Collision is an environmentally conscious event. We promote a paperless and single-use plastic-free event, where possible.

Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to, leaflets, flyers, stickers and single-use plastic items. If you bring paper or single-use plastic items to distribute onsite, you will be instructed to remove them from the venue. Continued failure to comply will lead to your team’s access to the event being revoked and a potential fine.

Non-single use items that are permitted to be distributed onsite include branded USBs, pens, notepads, reusable water bottles, and shirts with your company name.

Please note: Startups are limited to one handheld-size box of promotional materials. If you have any queries regarding permitted items, please contact your startup success manager.

Waste

Booths must be left empty at the end of the day. Please do not leave rubbish in or around your booth. Recycling and waste bins will be distributed across the exhibition floor for you to dispose of anything you don’t need.

Please note: Collision is not responsible for the disposal of any items remaining at exhibition booths or in the surrounding areas. Any items left on startup booths will be considered litter, and the startup will incur the minimum litter fine of €5,000.

Your exhibition booth and printed exhibition board will be waiting for you on your assigned exhibition day. We encourage startups to get creative to capture attendees’ attention. There are lots of ways to stand out on the exhibition floor

• Team: Consider wearing matching shirts that have your company logo and name.

• Market: Think about your target market and whether you want to focus on building a brand there. Do you want to connect with all attendees, or focus on a particular type?

Internet-enabled network cables 

Your exhibition booth will include an ethernet network cable with internet connectivity. Please review the following terms to ensure support for your devices:

Radio space in the venue should be shared by everyone. Rogue networks directly interfere with that goal, disrupting everyone’s experience. We carefully plan and design our networks to support the best experience possible for everyone.
