We are working closely with the venue and local authorities and we are following the official guidelines. Temperature screening is currently not mandated by the venue / local health authorities. We will keep you updated closer to the event.

We are working closely with the venue and local authorities and we are following the official guidelines. Face coverings are mandatory in the UK, however at this moment it is not clear if that is required in October.  

Vaccination does not confirm protection against transmission of infection.

Crowd Density Modelling calculations have been done to determine how many attendees can be in the halls at one single point in time. The number of attendees that can enter the venue depends on the size of the event and the space available. QEII Centre has a large enough space to accommodate our estimated number of attendees.

As part of our transition towards more digitalisation and in a Covid impacted environment, we are transitioning to a contactless registration with online badges. All attendees will be required to pre-register online and will receive a PDF badge to be printed before arrival . No in person registration onsite will be possible.

Exhibits may be moved into the hall beginning at 12:00 p.m. on Friday 29th October.

Exhibits must be set up at least half an hour prior to the opening of the Exhibit Hall at 09:00 a.m. on Saturday 30th October.

The exhibit hall closes at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday 30th October in which dismantling may begin. We are also arranging for an additional dismantle day; this will be confirmed shortly.

The exhibitor manual is scheduled to be live early July.

Capture each potential lead with a simple scan of an attendees badge without worrying about losing business cards or important information discussed. Lead Retrieval is a compact, portable, battery powered unit or a downloadable app that allows you to set up 16 custom qualifiers and download data in excel format for follow up after the show.

Ensure that you have generated leads before the show even starts; research shows that a lot of visitors decide which stands to visit well in advance of arriving at the show. We’ve done the hard work for you and put together a range of marketing materials to ensure that your stand is on everyone’s ‘must-see’ list (and they won’t cost you a thing).

You must send in 2 logos: one jpeg and one eps which will be used across our promotions. 

Show logos can be sent to you by our Operations Team. 

All exhibitors are given a 100 word listing in the Show Guide. The operation team will request this listing in the run-up to the event.

The media list will be compiled and sent out by Laura Bazile. For more information please contact her on laura@ukblackbusinessshow.co.uk 

Press packs should include a relevant press release, background on your company and good, appropriate, captioned photography. It is important to bear in mind that journalists will be interested in news stories, so brochures and other sales materials alone are not suitable. Ideally all the information should be contained in a clearly labelled folder, CD or USB.

Bring 10 press packs to reception on the afternoon of build-up or before the show opens on the first day.
