Maximum exposure for exhibitors
            With the growing popularity of the conference and an increased trade area, this year
            will see our biggest and best conference yet. With that we have secured an area
            specifically designed for our exhibitors, which allows them more freedom and space                          Floor plan
            than ever before.

            The Trade Hall will be exclusively located in the same space where catering will be
            served. This means exhibitors are free to move around, talk and meet with each
            other away from the conference activities if exhibitors choose not to attend any of
            the work streams or plenary sessions.
                                                                                                                            Double stands
            We have, once again, dedicated time in our heavily booked programme for delegates
            to come to the Trade Hall to enable both delegates and exhibitors time to meet, talk                             6, 14, 27, 35
            and discover each other. Delegates will have an opportunity to visit the exhibition
            stands throughout the whole conference, with the Trade Hall accessible to everyone
            attending the conference.

            The success of our previous conferences and, more specifically, the exhibition area
            will see these limited spaces being sold out well in advance of the conference and we
            strongly urge you to register your interest immediately.
