Please note: There is no official build up on the morning of the event.  Whilst the venue will be open from 07.30 for exhibitors to drop any last minute items to their stand, they will need to carry these items from the main car park, which is a short walk away from the building. We are unfortunately unable to make any exceptions to this rule and ask that all exhibitors are ready and in position no later than 08.00 so that the event team can do their final stand checks.  

 

NEW! £100 fine to be enforced. Breakdown must not commence until 16:30 on 11th November, after the exhibition has closed. 
For safety reasons, breakdown is strictly prohibited before 16:30 on Wednesday, 11th November, once the exhibition has officially closed. As outlined in the event terms and conditions, early breakdowns are not permitted and may invalidate your insurance. A £100 administration fee will apply to any exhibitor who breaks down early, with 100% of the fee donated to the Kent Community Foundation’s Education & Skills Fund, supporting disadvantaged young people across Kent.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, professional event. Please note that you’ll be asked to acknowledge this policy when collecting your catering voucher onsite.

Please be aware that vehicles cannot be brought to the side of the building until the hall is clear of delegates at approx 16.30. All exhibitors are required to sign the Health & Safety declaration, which states that exhibitors will not break down before 15:00hrs. 
All shell scheme exhibits must be collected by 17.00 on 11th November.

Please dispose of any rubbish - do not leave it on your stand.  Bins will be provided during the breakdown.
