Security

Exhibitors are fully responsible for the total management of their exhibition stand. The organiser will not be held responsible for any damages, robberies and losses incurred by exhibitors, and compensation will not be provided for the loss of personal belongings and exhibits.  The National Convention Centre Canberra will not accept responsibility for damages or loss of goods and property left in the venue prior to, during or after the exhibition. All goods belonging to clients must be claimed and removed from the venue on the last day of the exhibition. Adequate insurance coverage of exhibits is recommended.  During the set-up, dismantle and exhibition operation times the area will be open, and we suggest you take care of your goods and that your booth is not left unattended. Please do not ever leave any valuables on your stand. Whilst every precaution is taken, both the National Convention Centre Canberra and ASHM do not accept any responsibility for loss or damage which may occur to persons or property at the exhibition from any cause whatsoever.
