This event will include approx 15 individual events co-located, each with its own presentation room but all coming together in one central area (Hall 8) to provide a networking and showcasing opportunity. Hall 8 is a blank canvas so we require suppliers to fit out the space as detailed below. We expect 1,000-1,500 delegates. They will come to Hall 8 on arrival for registration and refreshments. They can look around the exhibition before hearing a welcome address on the main stage. Delegates will go to their allocated conference room and return to the Hall at lunchtime. Afternoon will be dedicated to networking, exhibition and pitches to investors on the main stage. Access to the Hall is available from 12.01am 29 March until 11.59pm 30 March. We would like exhibitors to set up afternoon/ early evening on 29 March. Delegates will arrive from 9am on 30 March and vacate by 5pm when break down can begin. 1. Registration Registration kiosks for 6-10 members of staff. Kiosks to accommodate badge printing equipment (to be supplied by Innovate UK KTN) - printers and i-Pads. Shelving underneath for storage of badge stock and router for the equipment. 2. Cloakroom Discreet cloakroom required near to the registration area. 3. Catering Trestle tables for the catering stations will be provided by the onsite catering team. Plans should include space for multiple catering stations around the Hall. 4.

This area will be used for both pre-booked 1:1 meetings, as well as informal meetings. To meet accessibility requirements, this space(s) should include some seating. 5.

This area should be positioned with easy access to the vehicle access entrances to Hall 8. Each exhibition zone needs to be easily identified whether this be through different coloured carpet, floor stickers, colour coded stands, physical or digital signage etc. 6.
