The One Of A Kind Show is staffed 24-hours a day in the exhibit hall from set-up through tear-down. However, in addition to this protection, we strongly suggest that you take the following precautions:

• Wear your badge during set-up and tear-down to help identify anyone who does not belong in the hall.
• Do not leave your keys or valuables (such as purses, cash boxes, or stock) in your vehicle at any time.
• During show hours, keep your personal items, such as purses and briefcases, locked up and out of sight from the public. They should not be left behind drapes or underneath tables as this is the first place that is targeted. The safest option is to keep your cash and credit card receipts in a money belt or pouch that you wear.
• Do not leave any cash or credit card slips in your booth overnight. Take them with you.
• We strongly recommend that you close off the front of your booth each night with cloth, mesh, netting, etc. that will discourage anyone from entering your booth when you are not there.
• Walk to and from the hall with someone, especially if carrying large sums of money. Please refer to the paragraph below for more details regarding Security Escort.
• To avoid fraudulent charges:
  • Make daily bank deposits
  • Physically secure terminals to prevent theft
  • Stay with your terminal while a transaction is in process
  • Ensure credit card name and type match the transaction
  • Ensure receipt reads “Sale”
  • Change your password from the default one provided by the terminal company
• Report suspicious behaviour to the Show Office or staff immediately!
• Do not leave your booth unattended, not even for a second during show hours. Be sure to be at your booth before show opening and at show closing. Do not leave immediately following close--wait until the public clears the floor
• Insure yourself for the duration of the show to protect yourself from things like theft, damage, bodily injury, and other hazards
• Keep fire doors closed at all times. Never prop open a fire door
• Authorize each credit card purchase while the customer is in your booth to avoid dealing with declined authorizations

Additional security measures are implemented within the Product Storage Area including a security camera installed nearby. Each exhibiting company/exhibitor that is allotted a product storage space must designate only TWO additional staff (making a total of 3) members who will be permitted access to the product storage area.

Security Escort

Upon request, Exhibition Place Security Services will provide a security escort to anyone who does not feel comfortable walking to their mode of transportation. To request this service, call Exhibition Place Security Services at 416-263-3333 and advise the operator of your request for a security escort, as well as your name, description and location and wait at your location for Security Staff to arrive.

What to do in the following situations:

Theft or damage occurred within your booth overnight or outside of Show hours:

• If you discover that product within your booth was stolen or damaged overnight or outside of Show hours, please notify the Show Office or inform the One Of A Kind Floor Staff who will be wearing STAFF shirts. They will send a Show Security guard to your booth to take a detailed incident report for future reference. Depending on the value of the theft or damage you may also want to call the non-emergency Police to file a Police report (416-808-2222). There are security cameras in the exhibit hall, however, only the Police are allowed to access the footage which they can do as part of their investigation if you file a report with them.

Theft or damage occurs within your booth (or someone else’s) during show hours:

• If you did NOT witness the theft or damage: follow the instructions listed above.
• If you DID witness theft from a booth: you can either call 911 immediately (followed by notifying the Show Office team) or immediately notify the Show Office, a One Of A Kind Floor Staff or the Show Security directly. Show Security will take a detailed report from you and/or other witnesses including description of the person(s) involved as well as a description and value of the items taken or damaged. Show Security will notify Exhibition Place Security and together they will search for the suspect within the building. If found, they can detain the suspect, who you have positively identified, until police arrive. Note, if you aren’t able to positively identify the suspect, Show Security will still be able to help search for the suspect and even speak to the suspect, however, they will not be able to detain them.

You have found a lost child or a parent informs you of their missing child:

• If you have a child in your booth who has become separated from their parents, take their full name and either call the Show Office (416-263-3202) who will then make an overhead announcement for the parents or notify the One Of A Kind Show Floor Staff at one of the locations indicated on the attached floor plan and they will contact Show Office via two-way radio.
• If a parent informs you of their missing child, try to take down a description of what the child is wearing, hair & eye colour, height, age and name. Either call Show Office (416-263-3202) or notify the One Of A Kind Floor Staff who are trained in how to respond to this type of situation.

An exhibitor or show visitor is ill or needs medical treatment:

• There will be a dedicated first aid attendant available at all times during official show hours
• If you encounter a sick or injured person, make them as comfortable as possible without moving him or her. Stay with the person and notify Show Office (416-263-3202) or a One Of A Kind Floor Staff who will summon the attendant via two-way radio. After giving the location and details, the first aid attendant and the Show Office will have a plan of action for where the Ambulance will be received, if needed.

You have found a wallet/purse in the washroom or a credit card has been left in your booth, etc.:

• If you find a lost object, please bring it to the Customer Service Centre or the Show Office. Please note overhead announcements will not be made for lost and found items.

You have discovered a fire:

• Leave the fire area and sound building alarm (fire pull stations are located at all exit doors). Notify the fire department by calling 911. Use stairs (not elevators) to exit the building.

A building evacuation has been ordered:

• Enercare Centre is equipped with a two (2) stage alarm. During the 1st stage of an alarm, exhibitors must stop all sales and listen to the announcements through the public address (P.A.) system. Upon hearing the 2nd stage alarm (rapid tone), everyone will be advised via overhead P.A. system to evacuate the building. Proceed to the nearest Show floor exit immediately – do not remain with your product! Note, elevators cannot be used. Exhibitors should assemble with Show Management outside of the Automotive Centre (corner of Princes' Blvd. and Newfoundland Road) to await further instructions. During an evacuation, the Coat Check will be closed and will only resume when the All Clear announcement has been made. Once it is deemed safe by fire officials to return to the building the following re-admit order will take place:
  Show Security → Show Management & Show Staff → Exhibitors → Visitors

With One Of A Kind fast approaching and many of our partners/customers making final payments to secure their places, we wanted to share a reminder about our official processes and steps you can take to stay cyber secure when making payments. Cybercrime is on the increase and many criminals try to trick businesses into making payments to them, rather than to the intended recipient, using fraudulent messages. If you have any suspicions that an email doesn’t seem right, let us know at admin@oneofakindshow.com and we will further investigate.

• Pay attention to the sender and their email address. Attackers can falsify the sender information in email messages or change small details so that at first glance, it looks like a valid username and domain name, but is not. At One Of A Kind, you will only receive emails regarding your payment from creditcontrol@cc.informa.com or arinformaexhibitions@informa.com.
• Carefully review the content of the email. If you get an email stating that you can pay your booth fees by downloading an attachment or if someone is asking you to send money via e-transfers to suspicious email address, delete the email and report this information to us immediately. One Of A Kind will never ask you to download or run programs, or pay via e-transfer to any email address.
• Always be careful before revealing any personal or financial information via email, website, text messages, social media or by phone. If you have any questions regarding the message you received, contact us and we can verify the authenticity.

Hi One Of A Kind Exhibitor,

It has been brought to our attention that fraudulent invoices are being sent to One Of A Kind vendors in hopes that they will be paid without the receipting noting that they are part of a phishing scam.

Below is how the fraudulent invoice and email looks like. We DO NOT have any association with this organization.

PLEASE DO NOT ENGAGE with the sender using any contact information or instructions contained in these invoices or emails.

One Of A Kind will NEVER sell attendee lists. We will never ask you to provide personal information through email or text.

Additionally, the domains we use to send emails regarding payment is always from @informa.com (eg: arinformaexhibitions@informa.com, InformaCanada.Billing@Informa.com) or @cc.informa.com (emails from Informa Credit Control)

To avoid this scam and other phishing scams, remember the following safety tips and guidelines:

· Slow down– stop and check it out. Take time to pause and consider whether a particular request is legitimate. Are there errors in grammar or spelling? A sense or urgency or fear? Does the sent email match the display name?

· Do not open the email or attachments, don’t click on links and don’t forward on.

· Trust your instinct. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

· Question– it’s better to be safe than sorry. If something doesn’t seem right, check with a Colleague.

· On the go– many phishing attacks occur when you’re out and about so take extra care when on a mobile device.

Remember, if you have any questions or concerns, simply email admin@oneofakindshow.com and we will be happy to assist you.

Regards,
One Of A Kind Show Team
