General Information
General Information on Participation via IRO
Every year IRO co-ordinates several Dutch group participations at international oil and gas exhibitions throughout the world. The selection of exhibitions is made by IRO's Committee on Commercial and Financial Affairs under the criteria whether it is an oil & gas show and whether the region on which the exhibition focuses is interesting enough for Dutch companies. An important criteria is also the interest shown by companies during meetings, visits, the annual exhibition survey and so on. In this way, participation in well known and established, as well as in promising exhibitions is possible.

IRO has a strong history in organising participations in international exhibitions. Any discount that IRO as national pavilion organiser receives, is settled with the prices charged to participants. Participation in the Dutch group is open to IRO members as well as non-members. Prices differ for each exhibition, varying with the square metre prices charged by the exhibition organisers and the costs for stand construction. IRO members get a discount compared to non-members.

There are several ways to participate in the Dutch pavilion:
  • Space and standard stand design (minimum size 9 square metres)
    Included in the price are the number of square metres, stand construction (with a Holland look), lounge facilities and the comfort of contracting out the bureaucracy. IRO members get a discount price compared to non-members.

  • Raw space in the Dutch pavilion (minimum size 20 square metres)
    Included in the price are the number of square metres and the comfort of contracting out the bureaucracy. Lounge facilities are optional, IRO members get a discount price here compared to non-members.

  • Within the IRO booth (open to IRO members only)
    There are several ways of participating within the IRO booth. The common three are:
  • Brochures (two different types per company)
  • Brochures and panel (90 cm by 90 cm)
  • Brochures, panel and personnel
