Space Only Exhibitor Responsibilities

Exhibitors are responsible for their own stand design and construction. No standfitting or carpet will be provided by Reed Exhibitions on space exhibitors. It is your responsibility to examine the area and site allotted to you in order to avoid costly adjustments to stand structures. Where possible the organisers will provide on request detailed stand plots indicating the position of service ducts and pillars. Minor obstructions or height restrictions cannot always be indicated on the plans of the Exhibition. Standfitting regulations contained within this section must be observed by you when planning your stand design and layout. 

In order to achieve a smooth run up to the Exhibition, all exhibitors should provide us with details of their selected contractors. This will enable us to supply them with any additional information they may require.

If you have an appointed contractor, please email [email protected] with their contact details.

We will be pleased to offer advice and guidance where required.
