   IDCC 1486 is not an events-industry collective agreement. IDCC 1486 is the French collective agreement for engineering, technical consulting, and IT-services firms (Syntec/BETIC sector), unrelated to the events/exhibition industry. Citing it as the French events-industry agreement is a factual error. ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) has not been held at RAI Amsterdam since February 2020, its final edition there after a 15-year run. Since 2022, ISE has been held at Fira de Barcelona. Citing RAI Amsterdam as the venue for continuous/24-hour ISE build-up is outdated for a 2026-dated article. AUMA does not publish a document titled 'technical guidelines for exhibitors' - this is an unverified citation title.
