Q. Where can I register as a visitor?
Online by clicking the ‘Register Now’ button on the left hand side of the home page.
Q. When will I receive my name badge?
You will receive your name badge and visitor pack approximately 2 weeks before the show. It will contain all you need to gain entrance to Event UK and plan your visit.
Q. What happens if I don’t receive my name badge before the show?
In the rare circumstance that you don’t receive your name badge and welcome pack from us, don’t worry! Simply print off your confirmation email and bring it with you to the show where we will simply print you another badge. If you forget to print the email, just give your name at the registration desk and we will manually search for your details to print another badge.
Q. What happens if I want to bring a colleague who hasn’t registered?
People who don’t register in advance and don’t have a ticket will be required to pay a £25 entrance fee. To invite a friend or colleague you can forward them the registration link. Or if you speak to our registration hotline they will give you a password, which, if you quote it at the registration desk, you will gain free entry!
Alternatively, bring an email, brochure or other piece of Event UK marketing material with you to the exhibition.
Q. How can I plan my visit at Event UK?

When we send you your badge, we will also send you an event preview that will give you details of the new features at the show as well as an exhibitor list and floorplan, enabling you to pinpoint who you want to see and where they are. At the show, there will also be 'you are here boards' which you can use to locate the exhibitors of your choice.
