ASTT facilitates overseas involvement

Letters were sent to all members in January seeking expressions of interest to those companies that wanted to promote their organisation in China by exhibiting at the Trenchless Asia 2002 Conference in Hong Kong from 12 – 14 November 2002.

I am pleased to be able to advise that several members have indicated that they wish to exhibit in Hong Kong under the Australian banner with some already committed.  

Over the past few months, ASTT has been negotiating with Westrade (Conference Organiser) in an attempt to secure a discounted rate for exhibitors. These negotiations have now been finalised and I am pleased to advise of the outcomes. 

•       It has been agreed that ASTT will be acting as the “Australian Agent” for the Trenchless Asia 2002 Conference in Hong Kong.
  

•      ASTT will reimburse 10% of the total fee paid to the Conference organisers, Westrade in accordance with the published rates.. This will be reimbursed once ASTT receives its Agent’s Commission from Westrade.
  

•     The published rates are US$380 per square metre for a shell scheme, US$340 per square metre for open space.
  

•      All Exhibition shell and or space costs to be paid directly to Westrade.
  

•      The minimum space only requirement is 20 square metres.
  

•      The minimum booth size shall be 9 square metres and will include the following:

Furniture and electrical packages consisting of (white walls, carpet, name panel in English and Mandarin, information counter, 4 chairs, waste bin, 3 spotlights, 1 only 13amp/220 volt single phase socket.

All stand costs also include (stand cleaning, exhibitor service manual, exhibition catalogue entry, supplies of promotional material and general security.

•      Insurance, shipping and mechanical handling /lifting are not included in the booth price.
  

•      Payment terms – 50% of the total stand costs are payable within 14 days of receiving the organisers contract. The second 50% is payable by 12 September 2002.
  
  

•      To be eligible for the 10% reimbursement, exhibitors MUST exhibit within the Australian exhibition designated area, which is tentatively shown on the attached plan.
