Visitor information
Following the success of the new layout at last year’s event, we will again be integrating our conference stage into the exhibition area, creating a focal point for delegates and the press. This will allow delegates to circulate around the exhibition stands while never being far from the conference sessions. Can you afford to miss the opportunity to network with some of the UK's leading business people?

There is a lift from the car park to ground floor level.
