C. ELIGIBILITY
Any company interested in participating in SIMA 2027 may complete a PRELIMINARY SPACE RESERVATION, regardless of whether it has participated in previous editions.
D. RESERVATION FEE
To complete a PRELIMINARY SPACE RESERVATION, companies must pay 10% of the amount corresponding to the requested square metres, calculated at the standard rate of €392/m², plus the applicable VAT.
The corresponding discounts will be applied when the final space booking is formally confirmed.

To participate in this phase, the company must be up to date with all payments due to PLANNER EXHIBITIONS.

F. BOOTH SPACE SELECTION
The procedure for selecting stand space on the exhibition floor plan shall be governed by the SPACE RESERVATION TERMS CONDITIONS and the SPACE CONTRACTING TERMS CONDITIONS, which will be published from September 2026 onwards
G. CHANGES TO THE NUMBER OF SQUARE METRES
If the number of square metres finally contracted exceeds the number indicated during the PRELIMINARY SPACE RESERVATION period, the additional 5% discount shall apply exclusively to the square metres included in the PRELIMINARY SPACE RESERVATION. Any additional square metres shall be invoiced at the standard rate.
If the number of square metres finally contracted is lower than the number indicated during the PRELIMINARY SPACE RESERVATION period, the additional 5% discount shall be calculated based on the number of square metres ultimately contracted.
H. CANCELLATIONS
If a company completes a PRELIMINARY SPACE RESERVATION and subsequently decides not to proceed with the final booking, the amount paid shall be non-refundable. However, it may be credited towards the booking of exhibition space at SIMA 2028.
