Emergency procedures
Evacuation or partial evacuation is on the advice of the Venue. Should an emergency occur that necessitates an evacuation, an announcement will be made over the PA system. Exit the building immediately via the nearest exit point and make your way on foot to your closest Assembly Point (The square in front of the building). Please refrain from using mobile phones at this time.
Whilst at the Assembly Point you will be kept informed of developments. When the emergency has ceased you will either be invited to return to the exhibition to resume normal business or advised to return the next day – in which case you will not be permitted to return to the exhibition to collect vehicles, bags, briefcases etc.
Please bring your QR code to collect your badge at the venue.
For security reasons, every member of your stand staff must present an Exhibitor badge in order to gain admission to the hall.
This provides access to the show during build-up and dismantle times as well as the open period. It is requested that exhibitors have access to their badges at all times during the event. Exhibitor Personnel Badges can be ordered online through the Exhibitor Portal.
Please refer to the email sent to you by Veronica Broholm on 24 April for more information about how to register.

Tuesday 20 may 2025 - Clear isles for cleaning
To help ensure that the aisle carpet can be laid on time and the cleaning team has a sufficient amount of time to ensure that the show is cleaned and ready for the show opening it is compulsory that all empty boxes, storage crates, ladders, unused stand fitting materials, pallets, etc. are removed from the aisle by 13:00 on that day. Any items left in the aisles after this time will be removed by DB Schenker and a 100% surcharge will apply for the removal and storage of these items. Everyone working on site must be made aware of this procedure.
