IBC2019 Meeting Space
IBC meeting rooms provide the perfect opportunity away from the busy show floor for you to host clients, conduct more formal
presentations or hold a cocktail hour in an exclusive setting. There are three different types of meeting space available, with options
to suit all requirements and budget: Meeting Suites, Balcony Suites and RAI Meeting Rooms. Meeting space is available for exhibitors
with a main exhibition stand or those who reach a minimum spend (£20,000) through meeting space and promotional activity.

Meeting Suites                                        Balcony Suites                                   RAI Meeting Rooms

Applying for Exhibition Space

Unlike some other trade shows, IBC organises exhibition space on an allocation basis rather than
selling space off a pre-determined floorplan. This allocation process takes into consideration
exhibitors requirements and requests, show history points, longevity of exhibiting combined with
the size of stand booked and the re-booking volume. Together with these factors, the demand for
space and the hall layout can sometimes restrict us to being able to fulfill every requirement.

The IBC team collect applications between August and 1 November 2018. Once this deadline has passed we work on constructing
the floorplan based upon exhibitor requests.

The main allocation of space will be released in February 2019 when we inform exhibitors of their stand and they then have the option
to accept, decline or move (when possible), by completing the acceptance of space form. Official IBC2019 floorplans are then placed
online along with the available space in approximately March 2019.

For more information on this whole process, please read our Guide to Applying for Space at show.ibc.org/applyforspace
