Publishers of unauthorized directories often offer exhibitors an entry into
low-quality directories in the months leading up to an exhibition. In some
cases, these unauthorized directories even hide long-term payment requests
in four-digit amounts in the small print. The Association of the German
Trade Fair Industry
(AUMA) provides information on how to avoid
becoming a victim of this directory scam.
Exhibitors and their subcontractors are obliged to effectively contribute to the avoidance of waste during every phase of an event. This goal has to be pursued in coordination with all participants, starting in the planning phase.

The following waste disposal options are available to the exhibitor:
1. The exhibitor can make his own arrangements to dispose of the waste outside the exhibition grounds at his own cost.
2. Proper disposal of the waste at extra cost by the official ServicePartner of NürnbergMesse by placing an order using the Shop for exhibitor services. The disposal of waste in waste containers or in other facilities of the Nuremberg exhibition grounds is expressly prohibited. Exhibitors are obliged to hand over their stand spaces in a clean condition at the end of the event. This particularly applies to materials left on the hall floor (e.g. remains of adhesive tape etc.). See Item 4.7.4. If a completed and signed order form is not received by the return deadline, NürnbergMesse assumes that the exhibitor will make his own arrangements for waste disposal.

More information about waste can be found in the booth construction guidelines.
