Never
change a winning team! This is reason enough for Wolfram Ortner to organise
the “World-Spirits 2008” and the “World-Spirits Award” once more as a
separate event during the GAST trade fair in Klagenfurt. From
9th to 12th March restaurateurs, merchants and connoisseurs of fine spirits
will be expecting the best distilleries and distillates from the world of
spirits at the biggest Hotel and Catering Fair in the Alpen-Adria Region.
“Simply
the best in Spirits!”
Wolfram
Ortner had numerous reasons to move his “World Spirits Festival” to the
Carinthian state capital: First of all, “Kärntner Messen” is a strong
partner with an extensive infrastructure and a perfect marketing system.
Secondly, the central position in Europe makes it easily accessible by road or
plane on AUA, Ryanair
and HLX. These synergies will benefit not just the organisers but
also the exhibitors and visiting trade professionals.
The
epitome of unparalleled pleasure: “World-Spirits”, coffee and wine under
one roof
For
the first time, GAST visitors have the opportunity to experience the products
of three different segments of the beverage industry within one single
exhibition, which is located in hall 7 and is furthermore rounded off
by an attractive programme of supporting events.
Competition is the key to success
The
international tasting session for the “World Spirits Award” 2008" will be
held in the preliminary stages of the event with a panel of perfectly trained
judges. Distilleries from all over the world are classified and compete for
medals and the coveted awards “Spirits of the Year” and “Distillery of
the Year”. The highlight for all participants in the award competition is
the presentation of the fine spirits in the context of the festival.
Meeting high standards
The
“World Spirits Festival” will not only meet the high standards of visitors
from the gourmet and beverage industries, but also those of interested members
of the general public and the international press. The core of the exhibition
is made up of distillates and “Spirits of the Year”, the award ceremony
for the spirits and the classifying of the distilleries and, last but not
least, the informative and enjoyable supporting programme. Over 20,000
visitors are expected at this four-day festival at the GAST!
Experiencing
and understanding spirits – a creative way to improve sales
A
new additional feature will be again the so-called “Spirit-Thek” – a
gigantic “perfume store” where visitors can learn more about fine spirits
and test their quality in a hands-on environment. “Experiencing and
understanding spirits – a creative way to improve sales” is the motto. A
great number of spirits from all over the world can be “sniffed” and pure
“distillates” can be compared directly with “spirits”.
The harmony of coffee, rum and cigar distillates
New trends in the world of consumable pleasures will also be covered. The best varieties of coffee, enriched with coffee distillates, along with seductive pralines and gourmet chocolates will be available for tasting. A special highlight for aficionados will be – besides the “classics” such as rum or whisky – the best cigar distillates of the “World Spirits Award 2008”.
The new natural aroma
for cuisine: Parfum
de Vie 71
Chefs use high quality distillates to flavour their dishes or as flavour
enhancers. The distillate is set to 71 % vol. and offered together with a
vaporiser and the same distillate with "standard" strength. Parfum de Vie
opens up a whole new way of using fine spirits: in the kitchen or at the
table, by the service personnel or the guest himself.

As
an organiser and marketing partner “World Spirits” offers opportunities to
spirits manufacturers as well as producers of related gourmet commodities (coffee,
cigars, chocolate enriched with spirits, pralines and truffles and producers of distilleries and distilling equipment etc.) not only
to present their products to the international press but also to develop
business contacts. After all, we are in an attractive, quality-orientated
market-place here, where business contacts from the widest variety of fields are
to be found under the same roof, so to speak – the “World Spirits
Festival:” – buyers from the hotel and catering trade at the point of sale,
as well as lovers of fine spirits, gourmands and connoisseurs of the good life.
The
stars of the festival should be the products – quite puristic, but with the
highest pretensions. No catwalk of vanities, no competition between expensively
laid-out stands but a dignified table-based presentation in gracious
surroundings – and above all sufficient time to communicate with the visitors,
so as to convince them of the quality of the products. The focus of the “World
Spirits Festival” in 2008 is on top-class fruit brandies (100% distillate, no
added sugar, alcohol or flavouring agents).
Buying
is a matter of trust: „World Spirits“ offers visitors the unique opportunity
to be won over by the wide variety of tastes and the quality of the world of
spirits and their environment, to get to know the people who produce them and
their philosophy – from small manufacturers or farming businesses to
enterprises operating on a global scale.
...
and let us not lose sight of the additional benefits for exhibitors: with this
concept the organiser can offer a flexible and inexpensive form of exhibition,
as the linking of a place at the Festival with automatic participation in the
“World Spirits Awards”, does not involve any additional costs but is based
on reasons of marketing techniques.

Purpose
of the exhibition: The
festival is an exhibition to offer information, advice and products for
sale and is intended to provide the visitor with details as regards the products
on show at the fair. The exhibitors’ presentation should conform to this
purpose.
Registration and table reservations: For the exhibitors, ordering a table is binding and irrevocable. For the organisation, registration becomes legally binding on the rendering of the account and the receipt of the registration form serves as acknowledgement of the exhibiting conditions.
Amendments,
subsidiary agreements: All addenda, deletions, provisos to the registration
will not be recognised. Amendments to the registration and subsidiary agreements
must be in legally binding written form.
Refusal
of the registration: The
organiser reserves the right to refuse registrations without providing a reason.
Even after a place has been allocated, the organiser is entitled to cancel the
registration of an exhibitor if the invoice has not been paid in full, if
liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings are threatened or have been opened against
the exhibitor or demands for payment are unsettled. In such cases, the organiser
will only accept a cash payment or presentation of the paying-in slip confirmed
by the financial institution. A further reason for refusal is if the goods to be
presented do not fall in line with the theme of the event or do not correspond
to the categories listed on the registration form.
General
regulations: Every
form of advertising is forbidden as well as making use of the area outside the
exhibiting area or table, in particular the distribution of catalogues,
price-lists, advertising material or acoustic or visual advertising. The
organiser assumes no liability for objects left in the exhibiting area after the
tear-down period. The exhibitor undertakes to exclusively exhibit goods and to
offer the same free of charge to the visitors for tasting which correspond to
the general statutory regulations and are provided with appropriate labelling
stating the prices.
Exhibiting
places and occupation of the stand: The
allocation of the exhibiting place or the selection of the venue is left to the
discretion of the organiser. The latter shall also have the right, if necessary,
to provide the exhibitor with an alternative exhibiting place according to the
confirmation, if so required for purposes of the event.
The
exhibitor undertakes to keep the exhibiting place occupied for the duration of
the entire festival, and to take responsibility for its tidy appearance and
cleaning. The setting-up of stands, partitions etc. as well as the installing of
electric cables etc. is forbidden. In addition, it is not permitted to set up
the table or to clear it during the festival opening times. Sub-letting of the
exhibiting place by the exhibitor is prohibited.
Alterations to venue and dates: If, through causes beyond the organiser’s control (force majeure), strikes or political events, the event cannot take place, the organiser is entitled to retain 30% of the sum invoiced as compensation insofar as staging the event would prove to be unreasonable. In this event, the exhibitor has no right to compensation.

this also applies for a cancellation of the registration up to 8 weeks before
the start of the event. In this way, the cancellation fee is defined as
flat-rate compensation.
Cleaning:
The
exhibitor undertakes to take responsibility for the cleaning and cleanliness of
the table and stand area, the organiser for the areas between.
Infringement
of the exhibiting conditions: Breaches
or non-observance of the contract or exhibiting conditions as well as failure to
comply with official regulations will lead to the table or exhibiting area being
immediately cleared – without any legal action – and will take place at the
expense of and with risk to the exhibitor, who undertakes to comply with the
instructions of the organiser.
Insurance
coverage: The
organiser accepts no liability for damage to or loss of objects exhibited or
objects of any type in the exhibiting areas. The exhibitor is liable for any

any event, the organiser is indemnified and held harmless during the set-up and
tear-down periods as well as the duration of the exhibition.
