If you have booked space only, we require the following information from your stand contractor:

Please ensure your stand builder is aware of the dimensions and location of your stand. The build height is 2.8m.
Deadline: Monday 22 April
Risk Assessment
All exhibitors need to supply us with a risk assessment for their stand activities. This may be covered by your stand contractor (see above) but smaller stands and shell scheme stand exhibitors who do not have a third party supplying this on their behalf will need to provide a risk assessment directly.
Download a basic template here. Please add rows to ensure you cover everything.
Deadline: Monday 22 April
Public Liability Insurance cover
• All Exhibitors are required to supply us with proof of public liability insurance cover
• Access to the exhibition hall will not be permitted unless this is received
• Any contractor you use will also be required to provide this.
Please note: Whilst we take every precaution to protect your property during the event, we are not responsible for any loss or damage and we recommend that you be fully insured. In particular, you should protect yourself against costs incurred due to abandonment, cancellation or curtailment of the event due to reasons beyond our control.
Deadline: Monday 22 April
Contractor Access
• If you have contractors to build / de-rig your stand, they will need passes to get into the Cromdale Hall
