Build Up and Breakdown Timetable

Please note that each stand has its own unique access timetable. It is your and the Exhibitors responsibility to ensure the stand can be constructed and dismantled within the time allocated.

You can find out your stands timetable by: 

  • Asking your client to grant you access to the Exhibitor Technical Manual. 
  • Contacting our dedicated Customer Success team. 
  • Using the access and load-out floorplans below.

Access and Load Out Floorplan

Please note that we will once again be operating a staggered build schedule, as implemented last year. The floorplan below outlines your allocated access timetable.

Please ensure you review the floorplan carefully and familiarise yourself with your designated access times. Adherence to your allocated timetable is mandatory and forms part of our rules and regulations for the event.

Instructions on how to use below: 

  • Scroll down to view the Access & Load out floorplan. 
  • You can search for your stand. 
  • Using the change view arrow (located on the right hand side of the middle of the floorplan) to change between the access and load out floorplan. 
  • Hover on the left hand side on the colour next to your exhibitor name to view your access and load out date and time.
