Exhibitor FAQs

What is the format of ALTM?
ALTM runs over 4 days. The Conference & Welcome Drinks Reception takes place on the afternoon of Monday 14 June 2010.

From Tuesday - Thursday the ALTM Business and Social networking programme of Pre-Scheduled Appointments, Online Diary meetings and official ALTM receptions take place.

What is then minimum stand size available to an exhibitor?
9m²

How do I order all essentials for my stand - i.e. electrics, catering, furniture etc?
The ALTM Exhibitor Manual will allow you to order all essential items for your stand. This will be available in late 2009.

How many appointments is an exhibitor entitled to?
Exhibitors can expect up to 60 Pre-Scheduled Appointments (PSA) across 3 days. This is dependent on exhibitors completing their registration and preference selections on time. The PSAs are supplemented by Online Diary meetings which rely on exhibitors contacting VIP Buyers directly to request appointments. All Online Diary meeting request must be approved by the VIP Buyer you have approached before they are confirmed.

If I am an Exhibiting Partner sharing a stand with a Main Standholder, am I entitled to appointments and catalogue entry?
Yes, your Main Standholder must register you as an Exhibiting Partner and allow for 6m² of space within their stand. You will then be entitled to your own set of appointments and a catalogue entry.

How does the ALTM appointment system work?
ALTM matches the VIP Buyers and luxury travel suppliers who have expressed an interest in meeting with one another. ALTM exhibitors will be given private access to the online profiles of the VIP Buyers; and all VIP Buyers will be given private access to the online profiles of ALTM's exhibitors.

You'll then all be invited to select a wish list of the 60 you'd most like to meet with. From this wish list of 60, a diary of Pre-Scheduled Appointments will be arranged for you by ALTM.

This means ALTM will match your preferences with VIP Buyer preferences via a computerised system. You will then receive a link to your Pre-Scheduled Appointment diary, detailing up to 41 appointments.

You can then supplement these meetings with up to 9 Online Diary appointments which rely on exhibitors and VIP Buyers contacting one another and accepting meeting requests. Once again, any Online Diary meeting requests you submit must be approved by the VIP Buyer you have approached before it is confirmed.

When is the deadline for choosing my appointment preferences (the wish list of 60)?
The deadline for selecting the VIP Buyers you wish to schedule appointments with will be confirmed in late 2009.

When is the deadline for using the Online Diary?
The date that the Online Diary will open and close will be confirmed in late 2009.

When can I see my Appointments Schedule?
You will be able to view your appointment schedule online prior to the event and it will also be dropped off on your stand. The exact date will be confirmed in late 2009.

What is different about ALTM's VIP Buyers compared to other exhibitions / events?
No time wasters gain entry to ALTM and only the most important personnel are invited to attend. ALTM selects and qualifies all VIP Buyers and they are taken through a very strict qualification process. ALTM only invites the top VIP Buyers from across the Asia Pacific region to the event.

Are any networking opportunities and functions available during ALTM?
ALTM is the perfect place to combine business with pleasure. You can view the full ALTM 2009 Programme online. Details about ALTM 2010 calendar of Welcome Drinks Receptions, Official Party and any other networking engagements will be announced in late 2009.

What is the ALTM Conference?
The ALTM Conference is an afternoon event that will take place on Monday 14 June 2010. The conference provides valuable insight and unrivalled networking with some of the industry's most authoritative and respected business leaders. Admission to the ALTM conference is free and open to all ALTM badge holders. The 2010 conference will start at 16.00 hours and close at 18.00. It is then followed by the ALTM Welcome Drinks Reception.

When will I receive my badge?
Exhibitor badges will not be sent out in advance of the event. Any individual can pick up their exhibitor badge from the onsite registration desks at ALTM. Upon pick up they will be asked to leave their signature to show they have picked up their badge.

If a Main Standholder wishes to pick up badges on behalf of all stand personnel they are entitled do so but it is up to the Main Standholder to make this known to the personnel that this has been done. It will also be the responsibility of the Main Standholder to bring badges out to individuals as they arrive at the venue. The registration/ALTM staff will not be responsible in anyway for getting exhibitor badges to exhibitors, nor will they be able to contact the Main Standholder on the stand personnel’s behalf.

What is the dress code for ALTM?
The dress code is business wear during the daytime.
