Happy Holidays from Reed Gift Fairs. In only a few weeks time we'll ring in the New Year and we want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your loyal support throughout the year. We're so proud of the high calibre of exhibitors that continue to showcase the best gift and homewares products in Australia. Please note that over the holiday our office will be closed from the 19th of December until the 3rd of January, so if we can assist you prior to this close down please let us know, otherwise we wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Photo ID Scanning
Beginning in 2012 Reed Gift Fairs will introduce a new security measure aimed at improving and maintaining a high quality of visitors to our events. We will be implementing photo scanning identity technology beginning with the Melbourne February fair. A condition of entry is that all registered exhibitors & visitors to the fair will have a photo taken upon entry. This new security measure is to protect the integrity of the Gift Fairs by ensuring that legitimate, registered visitors only can attend. In the case of refusal of this policy, Reed Exhibitions reserves the right to refuse entry or may request that alternative photo ID be shown. Please pass along this information to your staff so that everyone is prepared and ready for this new process. We appreciate your cooperation as we strive to ensure the best possible experience for our customers.
