Exhibitor Warning

Some of our exhibitors have been fraudulently targeted by a company called Expo Guide.

WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SIGN ANY FORMS FROM THEM.

TOC EVENTS WORLDWIDE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS FAIR GUIDE!

Expo Guide/FairGuide.com/Construct Data Verlag target companies through legitimate exhibition guides. Their current activities cover companies throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia.

Expo Guide claims to offer online listing services. They use a form which resembles an organiser's free catalogue listing service, inviting exhibitors to complete the form for an entry in an on-line directory. Above the form they print our exhibition name in big letters, because of which a lot of people think it is a company with whom we work together.

Unsuspecting exhibitors who sign and return the form are then contracted into a three-year, non-retractable agreement, which could cost you a significant amount of money, with no foreseeable benefits.

In the small lines below the form is mentioned that the costs are €971 per year, for the duration of three years. Unfortunately a lot of people do not see this and sign the contract.

*******************************************************************************
These companies have no connection with us or any of our events

We strongly advise our exhibitors, and the entire exhibition community, to be most vigilant against this and similar organisations.

There are many so-called guides that mail deceptive contracts and then harass those who sign them in error for money.

Additional information on the Expo Guide, FairGuide and other Construct Data Verlag publications is available at:

We have tried to take legal actions against the company, but this isn’t possible. Since the price is mentioned below the form and since they do not say we work together with them but only publish our name, we cannot do anything. That is why we warn you about this company.

Therefore we are asking you to be vigilant and if you have any concerns about forms you are being asked to complete please contact us directly:
