The view is expressed from time to time that it is in breach of the Code to have a promotional stand in the same room as the meeting.
This is not so.
It may be that local organisers do not want promotional stands in the same room, in which case sponsoring companies would have to respect their wishes, but there is nothing in the Code to prohibit such a practice.
