SECURITY
Security for all at the Fair is our highest
priority. Please take a moment to read
over the information below.
Identification
Buyer’s entry passes must be visible, and
be carried at all times. Non-Australian
residents must carry their passport with
them while at the Fair. Identification must
be produced to security or to an exhibitor,
on demand.
Security Searches
Due to the nature of the products on site
at the Fair, security for visitors, exhibitors
and staff is our highest priority. It is a
condition of entry that buyers and other
personnel consent to being searched on
request. CCTV, X-ray machines and metal
detection equipment will be used at entry
and exit points. Routine searches will be
conducted and all visitors are requested to
be understanding of the reasons for this.
Photography
Photography or video recording at the Fair
is prohibited, except by those authorised
individuals. Surveillance equipment is in
use for the entire duration of the Fair.
Expertise Events reserves the right to take
photographs, video and other footage of
all visitors, exhibitors and displays within
their events. These photographs remain
the property of Expertise Events and may
be used on occasion to promote, market
and advertise the said event and other
events organised by Expertise Events. If
you are the subject of any images taken,
your agreement to these terms and
conditions and usage of these images is
signified by your entry into the exhibition
and/or attendance as a visitor at the
event.
Right of refusal
Expertise Events reserves the right to
refuse entry to any buyer or person
without proper identification at its
discretion.
No loud, abusive or defamatory language,
harassment or other unprofessional or
inappropriate behaviour will be tolerated.
Prohibited Items
Items prohibited inside the Fair include
firearms or weapons of any kind,
cameras, bags other than a small
briefcase or handbag.
Trading on the floor
Onsite trading is restricted to exhibitors
only. Non-exhibiting wholesalers are not
permitted to conduct business on the Fair
floor (aka suitcasing). Expertise Events
reserves the right to escort the attendee
from the Fair floor if they are reported to
be soliciting business at the Fair and are
not an exhibitor. If you are escorted from
the Fair, you will not be allowed to attend
any future Fairs.
Suspicious persons
If someone who appears to have no
official presence approaches you or if you
observe suspicious behaviour at the Fair,
please report your concerns to security
immediately.
Purchases and carriage of valuables
Buyers making purchases at the Fair
are advised to use the official security
transporters, Armaguard or Brinks
Security, who will be located onsite.
Expertise Events strongly advises against
carrying jewellery merchandise to or from
the Fair.
Children/Prams
As this is a business event, with high
security, we strongly discourage buyers’
children from attending the Fair. We
understand, however, that this may be
unavoidable at times and so exceptions in
these circumstances may be made. Due
to the nature of the event, we discourage
prams being brought into the Fair. Any
items brought to the Fair will be searched
at the Fair entry and/or exit as part of our
commitment to safety and security.
If a child is found unaccompanied they
will be escorted to the Expertise Events
Registration Counter and the registered
buyer responsible for the child will be
notified. Failure of the parent or legal
guardian to supervise the minor’s activities
may result in removal from the Fair.
