Lithium-ion batteries and battery packs

Lithium-ion batteries and battery packs in the Convention Centre

Batteries and battery packs are used not only during the build-up and break-down in equipment and machines, but also during the events themselves, often as part of the product demonstrations. However, using batteries and battery packs also carries risks. It is important that everyone working at the RAI or attending an event here is aware of the risks and takes the necessary precautions. The recommended measures and conditions mainly apply to the battery type that poses the highest fire risk, lithium-ion batteries – due to the potential for thermal runaway.

To make the measures manageable, the lithium-ion battery packs are divided into four groups: small, medium, large and very large. Within these groups, we also distinguish between the presence of the lithium-ion battery packs and the charging and discharging of the lithium-ion battery packs.

wich lithium-ion-batteries-and-battery-packs are permitted

* Only permitted in rooms with a sprinkler system.
** Only permitted if the surface area is less than 2 m2 and the distance to combustible materials is more than 2 meter.
*** Only permitted if the distance to the facade or combustible materials is more than 10 meter.
**** Only permitted if the distance to the facade or combustible materials is more than 10 meter and the room is fitted with a sprinkler system.

At the request of our Health & Safety department, you must be able to provide proof of the size (capacity) of the lithium-ion battery or battery pack you are using.

Security

Scams

We have been made aware that some exhibitors have been targeted by companies claiming to work with the event. Although their correspondence may seem genuine, they are simply trying to sell false information for their own benefit. Please remain vigilant and should you receive anything like this, please make us aware.

We do not share your information with anyone other than our contracted suppliers.

Onsite access

You will only be able to enter the exhibition hall if you have a pass. You and your contractors must be wearing a pass at all times.

Speakers

If you have a speaking slot within your package there are many aspects that you will want to consider. Please see below a brief outline of what we recommend in order for you to make the most out of the event.

What should we speak on?

Consider what information you have access to which your ideal audience does not. If you’re unsure, speak to our conference producers! They will be able to tell you what the audience is likely to respond to best.

What can we share with them that will help your audience achieve their goals?  

Aim to demonstrate your knowledge of the issue they face by sharing advice and ideas rather than only focusing on product information. 

I don’t know for sure who our speaker will be, can I confirm last minute?  

A very last minute speaker name or topic confirmation tends to result in a much lower audience turnout. 

 Please share your talk title and speaker name as early as you can, even if it means we need to make changes to them nearer the event.

Can I have more than one speaker onstage? 

 Yes, and we highly recommend inviting a client to join you on stage. Case study formats are extremely popular and will get you a good audience turn-out. You can also have two individuals from your own organization onstage at the same time, as long as your presentation fits within the time allowed 

How strict are you on the timings of the day? 

We make sure that the conference programs run very promptly. This ensures everyone gets their allocated time slot and the session commences at the advertised times. The Chairpeople and stage managers are tasked with careful attention to session length so please practice your presentation to make sure it fits into your time allocation.

We would like to leave time for Q&A, how do we do that? 

Your time allocated includes Q&A and you are welcome to split the time as you choose. If you have no time at the end of your time slot for Q&A, we recommend encouraging audience members to meet you at your stand, to continue the discussion so that you can offer further advice. 

Additonal sponsorship activations

🌟 Maximise Your Visibility at TechEx Europe!

We have a range of exclusive branding and sponsorship opportunities available to help you increase your exposure before, during, and after the event. From on-site signage to digital marketing, speaking slots, and networking lounges, there’s something to suit every goal and budget.

📢 Stand out from the crowd and drive more traffic to your booth.
