AUMA does not publish a document called 'technical guidelines for exhibitors' - this is an unverified report title. AUMA's actual guidance is published as 'Successful trade fair participation' and similar named guides, not a dated 'technical guidelines' edition. The appointed-handler table states RAI Amsterdam and Jaarbeurs Utrecht are handled by 'Valverde'. Multiple sources, including RAI Amsterdam's own announcements and a DB Schenker press release, confirm DB Schenker (Schenker Logistics Nederland) is the official event forwarder for both RAI Amsterdam and Jaarbeurs Utrecht, with the partnership extended through 2028. Valverde is a real Amsterdam-based forwarder but is not documented as the appointed handler at these venues. The table lists ExCeL London's appointed handler as 'Agility'. ExCeL London's own current exhibitor-services page now names DSV as its logistics partner, indicating the appointed handler has changed; citing Agility as the current handler is outdated/unverifiable.
