Space Only Stands

A Space Only booking provides your allocated floor space within the exhibition hall. The stand structure, flooring and other fittings are not included in the space booking. Please see Space Only rules and regulations: here.

Important: Check your signed contract to confirm the size of your allocated space. You are responsible for appointing a stand contractor to design and build your stand.

What you need to arrange

  • Appoint a suitable stand contractor to design and build your stand.
  • Share the exhibitor manual with your contractor so they can review the build-up, breakdown and venue regulations.
  • Arrange any required services, such as electricity, lighting and flooring, using the relevant order forms.
  • Submit your stand plans, risk assessments and required Health & Safety documentation for review through the Exhibitor Tasks section.
Approval is required before you can exhibit. Space Only exhibitors must submit the required documentation for review and approval. This must be submitted via the 'Contractor Notification- COMPULSORY SPACE ONLY TASK' in the Exhibitor Tasks section. Please also check the Space Only Regulations page for the full list of rules.
