Your stand comes as space only. This means by default we supply no furniture, fittings, power, banners or carpet as standard. There are no walls around your stand at all, unless your stand is adjacent to an exterior wall of the hall.
However walls, carpet, furniture, power, banners and other services are all available to be added as required by all exhibitors. See other FAQ's or the exhibitor guide for details.

During Exhibitor setup you will use your special setup access pass, which you will print off from your exhibitor portal. Ensure everyone attending during setup has a copy. This allows you access during the setup period during which you should collect your exhibitor passes from UKGE Exhibition Services Stand in Hall 3.
You are at liberty to bring any furniture and equipment you like providing they are structurally sound and legally compliant items.
Any items must stand within your exhibition space and may not stray into the aisles or other stands.

We often get asked about laying out stands - particularly by first time exhibitors.
Often they are a bit at sea or confused by the fact stands are described in square metres and furniture is in feet (ft or ') and inches (in or " ).
Furniture sizes.
Standard tables sizes in imperial and metric
Imperial Size & Metric Size
- 3ft rounds 0.91m
- 4ft rounds 1.22m
- 4ft x 2ft 1.22m x 0.61m
- 5ft x 2ft 1.52m x 0.61m
- 6ft x 2ft 6" 1.83m x 0.75m
- Typical chair 0.5m x 0.5m
These are the standard sizes we can supply.
How do I get in to my stand?
Regardless of the size of your stand you can only gain entrance to it from open sides.
A row stand only has one opening - from the front.
A corner stand will be open on two sides.
An endcap will be open on three sides.
An island will be open on all four sides.
Do not assume that you can get into your stand via another exhibitor's stand.
So for an example if you put a 6ft table width ways across a 2m wide stand you have to squeeze in through a 17cm gap or climb under the table!
Get out the Graph Paper.
The best way to map out your stand is to get out a sheet of graph paper and plan it out.
Make 1 square 1mx1m and start drawing in furniture.
