  • QWhat is the difference between a ‘Shell Scheme Booth’ and a ‘Space Only Booth’?

    Shell Scheme Booth
    The organizer provides a standard booth setup, which includes:
    - 2 or 3-sided partitions
    - Booth interior lighting, 1 power outlet
    - Company name signage
    - One set of an information desk and chair
    - Carpet flooring (Pytex)

    Space Only Booth
    Only the exhibition space (3m × 3m, 9m² per booth) is provided. Participating companies must hire a designated contractor from Coex to construct the booth.

  • QWhat is the difference between a ‘Shell Scheme Booth’ and a ‘Premium Booth’?

    The composition of both booth types remains the same; however, the booth stand type and overall booth design differ. For reference, please check the booth images in the ‘Participation Guide’ tab.

  • QHow is booth location determined after application?

    Coex Food Week Secretariat makes every effort to accommodate participants' booth location requests. However, final booth allocation is determined based on several factors, including:
    - Spatial harmony within the exhibition hall
    - Visitor flow efficiency
    - Overall exhibition impact
    Booth assignments are processed in order, considering factors such as the application date, booth size, and previous participation history.
    For efficient exhibition management, the organizer reserves the right to adjust previously assigned booth locations. In such cases, any changes will be made in close consultation with the participating company.

  • QWhat should participants prepare in addition to booth construction?

    The most essential preparation is staff training. Sales representatives or dealership personnel who are well-versed in the exhibited products should be responsible for providing product information. Staff should receive training on appropriate attire, professional conduct, language use, and consultation techniques to ensure smooth interactions with visitors.
    Additionally, exhibitors must prepare products for display, display stands, booth interiors, product catalogs, and business cards. If additional furniture, such as consultation tables or display racks, is required, rental services from furniture and equipment suppliers are available.
    Please note that any damage to pre-installed panels caused by nails, adhesives, or double-sided tape will be the responsibility of the booth construction company, which must cover restoration costs.

  • QFor ‘Space Only Booths,’ can only Coex-designated companies handle booth construction?

    Yes, that is correct. Exhibitors must select a construction company from the Designated Partner Companies list to ensure compliance with safety regulations within the exhibition hall.
    However, if it is absolutely necessary to use a construction company not on the designated list, the company must undergo a pre-inspection by Coex before proceeding. Please keep this in mind when making arrangements.

  • QI paid in KRW. When will the tax invoice for the participation fee be issued?

    Tax invoices are generally issued online after the conclusion of the exhibition, based on the official closing date. Invoices are processed in bulk following the event.
    If an exhibitor requires a tax invoice in advance for participation fee payment, they should contact the exhibition manager, and the invoice will be issued accordingly. Additionally, if there are any changes to the business registration certificate submitted during the application, exhibitors must inform the manager in advance.

  • QHow can I purchase parking tickets?

    The organizers do not provide parking tickets for participants. However, during the setup and teardown periods, exhibitors are entitled to up to three hours of free parking for cargo vehicles (over 2.5 tons).
    For passenger vehicles, parking fees must be paid separately. Please refer to Coex Parking Information for parking rates and details.
    Exhibiting companies at Coex may purchase daily parking tickets at a 50% discount when bought on-site. Additional details will be provided in the participant manual one month before the event.
