Sustainable alternatives

As we recommend to reduce the use of paper, you can also upload up to five documents, three videos and up to eight photos into your Marcom eSchedule PRO profile and make them available to agents prior to, during and for four weeks after the event. In addition, if you’d like to make an impression at your dedicated table here are some suggestions to help you stand out:

• Branded table cloth.
• Reusable table top roller banner.
• QR code to your website/brochures/offers.
• Sustainable giveaways for your potential partners.
• No need for business cards – delegates can scan your v-card on the reverse side of your badge.
• Laptops – power is provided at each table, take your partners through your presentations and videos.

Please note that only organisations with an exhibit table may bring a pull up banner. We are unable to facilitate any form of pull up banner in the meeting hall space. All branding must be kept to table top items only.

Please be aware that although Wi-Fi will be provided, we recommend downloading your event materials, presentations and videos directly to your device for your meetings. This helps reduce GHG emissions and ensures the network traffic is not overloaded.

Our advertising and sponsorship opportunities help build your brand and grow your business. Advertising at ICEF Brazil and other ICEF events provides significant international exposure for your organisation, increasing your brand visibility and networking potential.

See our website to view and reserve sponsorship items or contact your account manager to build a customised package.

Scheduling meetings during the event

To make the most of your participation, you can still schedule meetings with other participants once the event has started. Last minute meetings can be scheduled up to one hour before the requested meeting time.

We recommend that you leave Marcom eSchedule PRO open throughout the event to keep an eye on any new meeting invitations that may come through. Please regularly refresh your eSchedule PRO page to make sure that it’s always up to date with the latest requests.

Please note that you will not be provided with a printed paper copy of your schedule at the event.

To ensure that we are able to provide the best experience for all attendees, we would like to draw your attention to two sections in our event terms and conditions. Section 11 specifically prohibits participants from organising any side event (be it hospitality, seminar, or tour), which entices attendees to leave during the programme. Should you wish to organise an event outside of programme times, where attendance is linked to the ICEF event, then ICEF must be notified in advance and approval must be received in writing. Additionally, section 12 mandates that any event, seminar, party, reception or tour organised before or after an ICEF event, with the intention of attracting or inviting event attendees, must be applied for and authorised no less than three months in advance please.

Programme details can be found under the seminar tab on your schedule or on the event website

Programme details can be found under the seminar tab on your schedule.
