We require all individuals coming onsite during the build or breakdown to register their details and complete the site induction before they will be allowed into the exhibition halls.

Once registered you will receive a confirmation email - please bring this onsite (either digitally or printed) and present this at the site entrance in exchange for a contractor wristband.

To avoid delays we strongly recommend you complete your registration in advance.

Access will be refused to anyone who has not completed the site induction, or who is not wearing a hi-vis jacket/vest and appropriate (closed toe, thick soled) shoes.

The data collected from contractor registration is shared with relevant parties involved in the organisation of the event. For more information please view our Privacy Policy.
