OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SAFETY
Following the decisions of the consultative committee of Belgium’s various governments on Friday 4 March, we are pleased to announce that almost all safety measures related to trade fairs have been dropped. The Covid Safe Ticket (CST) will disappear and wearing a mouth mask is no longer mandatory.
However, the health and well-being of exhibitors, visitors and employees remains our highest priority. We continue to take the necessary precautions to ensure this.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Disinfection
All surfaces at an Easyfairs event are treated with hospital-grade disinfectants.The most frequently touched surfaces will be disinfected at regular intervals. Electrostatic spraying technology ensures the highest standards of hygiene.
Hand hygiene
Hand sanitiser stations will be available everywhere on the exhibition floor and in common areas such as seminar theatres. Please make good use of them! Disposable gloves are available.
Smart Badge contactless technology
The best way to stay safe at an event is by using our Smart Badge, which requires no physical contact and guarantees a 100% safe event experience. You will receive your Smart Badge at the entrance after having scanned the barcode on your printed voucher or mobile device. Thanks to the embedded NFC chip you can use your badge throughout the event to gather product and stand information with a swipe of your badge. At the end of the day you receive all collected information via email.
Cashless payment
To protect your personal health and safety, we only accept cashless payments at Easyfairs venues.
Food & Drinks
You can still purchase food and drinks at our events and venues. For your safety, they are provided in prepacked servings, to eliminate the risk of infection. We kindly ask you to use the hand sanitisers available at catering points before eating and drinking.
Partnership SGS

SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification,

monitoring program to ensure the enhanced

Physical distancing

Stay home if you feel ill
Finally, as much as we want to see you at our events, we kindly ask you to respect everyone’s health and safety. If you feel at all ill – including mild cold symptoms or a high temperature – please stay at home.
Thank you for observing these rules – stay safe and we hope to see you soon at one of our events!
Elbow bumps replace handshakes!
Handshakes are “on hold” for the time being! We know this is tough, as a handshake is the natural form of business greeting. We suggest you greet with an elbow bump. Alternatively, a nice “air kiss” is a friendly way to greet. A simple wave or a thumbs-up will also do nicely. So long as the greeting is without physical contact … feel free to use your own style.

You can use the exhibitor catalogue and content programme to plan which companies and products you would like to see, and which seminars to attend. We kindly advise you to plan ahead so you can arrive on time for any seminars, as places may be limited due to social distancing measures.
One-way only aisles
One-way-only aisles will help to manage traffic and minimise crowding. They will also make it easier for you to respect the social distancing rules and avoid crossing the paths of other visitors.
Directional walkways
On paths where there is enough room for people to walk in both directions, please keep to your side as indicated by the directional arrows.
Registration timeslot
