Exhibitor Resources

The 4S exhibition will be held in the Expo Zone at the Palma Convention Centre. The large surface area of the Expo Zone has two different heights and is split over two levels (Floor 0 and 1) with an abundance of natural daylight coming in through large glass windows while providing beautiful sea views over Palma de Mallorca Bay. 

The Expo Zone can hold a maximum of 83 exhibitor stands of 3x2 M² split across two levels. Attendees can pre-register in the afternoon on Sunday, 26 May 2024 in the Auditorium Hall of Illes Balears located on the ground floor. Timings will be confirmed closer to the time. To commence set-up early the next day Exhibitors are urged to pre-register so that they don't have to queue for registration first.

When coming by car, drive until Door A when in the car park of Palma Convention Centre. From here you can take an elevator to the Auditorium Hall of Illes Balears.

All exhibitor stands must be manned and operational by 10:30 Monday morning. To avoid having to queue for registration the Monday morning and commence set-up straight away it is recommended that Exhibitors pre-register on Sunday, 26 May 2024. 

Whenever possible, space assignments will be made by 4S Organising Committee, in keeping with the location preferences requested by the exhibitor via the exhibitor portal. The 4S Organising Committee, however, reserves the right to make the final determination of all space assignments in the best interest of the exhibition. 

The exhibition hall is open for set-up from 08:00 am on Monday, 27 May, 2024. The conference is scheduled to end early afternoon on Friday, 31 May, 2024. Exhibitors can start to dismantle their exhibitor stand after the conference ends on Thursday between 18:00-20:00 or on Friday after the morning coffee break at 10:50 when attendees have left the exhibition hall to attend the final conference session until 13:00.

As the Palma Convention Centre must be notified in advance of any delivery prior to the event, so that it can verify storage availability. Rental costs will apply for deliveries shipped before Friday, 24 May 2024 or if excessive storage space is required. The loading and unloading times are from Monday to Friday, 09:30h-17:00h (uninterrupted).

The Palma Convention Centre doesn't have staff at hand for the loading and unloading of materials, neither transport equipment such as wheelbarrows or trolleys. Consequently, the carrier will take the materials to the designated area. 

Due to the complexity of the loading and unloading of goods and for the purpose of minimizing related risks, especially whilst events are taking place, and possible lack of storage space in-house, the Palma Convention Centre strongly encourages exhibitors to work with a logistics company which can look after the operational logistics if intending to ship materials before Friday, 24 May 2024 or seeking large storage facilities. For storage, delivery and the collection of exhibition material it recommends to hire the professional services of RESA EXPO LOGISTICS.
