VISA ASSISTANCE

Visa assistance letter, if required should be requested at least 60 days prior to the opening of the IIATE 2026. Please contact your consultant at Quickmarc. Company Brochures For Visitors Campaign / Press Conference. Preferably, we would need printed company brochures. The same are necessary for the pre-event media campaigns and press conferences. They should reach us at least 60 days prior to the opening of the IIATE 2026.

PAYMENT

Balance/ Remaining payments, if any must reach the organizers at least 90 days prior to the opening of the event. The exhibitor will then only be provided a clearance certificate that he will need to produce to the IIATE 2026 on-site management before taking possession of his stand.

PHOTOGRAPHS FOR EXHIBITOR ID BADGES

All delegates photographs or their scanned images should reach us at least 60 days prior to the opening of the IIATE 2025. Name of the person and company should be written behind the picture if being sent by mail/courier.

Files are acceptable in the following formats only: .jpg or .gif (the email / image should not exceed 100 kb )
CARGO INFORMATION If the samples are not bulky, exhibitors are advised to carry them as personal baggage. This will save money as sending air/sea cargo is more expensive than paying for extra baggage.

All exhibitors must send a sample invoice / packing list before shipping / airfreighting the goods by email / fax to the clearing agents to get an approximate value of all charges involved and advise on values declared.

Goods should not be much under-invoiced as customs may put their on value if not satisfied with the invoice value declared by the exhibitor. Please consult the clearing agents for their advise if necessary.

For promotional items such as brochures, small give aways, display stands etc., please declare a small value.

All goods should reach The port 20 days and airport atleast 10 days prior to the opening of the IIATE 2025 to ensure that the goods are cleared in time.

IIATE 2025 samples and stand construction materials should be packed and declared separately from goods for test sales. For smooth clearance of exhibitor goods, organizers usually assign a few official clearing agents to handle the IIATE 2025 goods to be exhibited at the fair.

A small advise to all exhibitors worldwide in to always carry some brochures / business cards / posters etc. as hand baggage so that they are not empty handed on their stand if their cargo or personal baggage is delayed / lost etc. It is important that all precautions are taken to ensure that your investment is not wasted.

Exhibiting at Trade Shows is usually expensive. But then it is the most effective and respectable way to present your company in the international market. The impact on prospective buyers/partners can not be so strong in any other way in today’s world that is overloading with suppliers and exporters. But still, an exhibition cannot guarantee business as most still depends on how you use the opportunity. One can really increase his chances if he follows these tips

Some survey through embassies, net etc. can give you substantial information on a country’s imports etc. Most of you would know how to do that but what is most important is the organizer. All organizers provide space, stand and accessories etc., but you certainly deserve more than that. It doesn’t matter whether the IIATE 2026 is big or small as both have their advantages and disadvantages. What is important is the support from the organizers. This support comes in the way of advertising not only the IIATE 2026, but your products as well. Further, he should be able to provide you a database of your products related importers whom you can contact and invite much in advance.

Most important. An exhibitor should not wait for luck to fall on him. Your stand is your temporary office, not your showroom where you wait for somebody to pass by. You have to run your office yourself. People are getting busier and somebody who could be very important to you might not turn up or might just miss your stand. Ask the organizer to provide you names and contact nos. of at least the top companies dealing in your kinds of products. Send them your brochures and invite them to visit your stand from your country itself. When you reach the country of the IIATE 2026, you call them and remind them about your arrival and presence at the event. Even if there is little marketability of your products in that country, you have very good chances of cracking business. This is not just an extra exposure – it’your most important step towards success.

Many delegates sometimes pretend to be busy when there is no one on their stand. Maybe just scribbling something on paper or playing with the calculator. But that has a negative impact on the visitor as he could have his reservations as well. He could just move on thinking you are busy or not very interested. Carrying a smile and greeting visitors can really do some magic. Somebody not dealing in your products could also get interested.And it’s always interesting to meet and know foreigners, isn’t it

The decoration of your stand tells about the standard of your company and the quality of your products. Big or small, it should be neat and well organized. Try to attend everybody even when your stand is crowded. Hire local people who can keep the visitors busy until the time you can attend them personally. The entire town has a boundless energy, and is thriving place where all of human life can be found. This is a place of great contrasts where race, tribe and origin all become facets of a unique Nairobi character.

Promotions do wonders specially when consumer products are concerned. A crowd at your stand can generate interest amongst bulk buyers as watching them, they will be convinced with the acceptance of your product in their market. But make sure you have enough people who can handle all that.
