Planning Advice for Shell Scheme Exhibitors
Download the Shell Scheme Do’s & Don’t’s here
Access times: The hall is open to shell exhibitors from midday on Friday. If you require additional time please contact andreahurst@fluid-events.co.uk
Stand out: Consider how your stand is going to look compared to other shell scheme stands. Striking, clear graphics provide instant information about your products and good lighting brightens your stand - both help to give your stand "stand out" qualities.
Half meter dimensions – e.g. 3.5m x 4m stands: If your stand includes a half meter dimension, please contact Creative Event Spaces to find out where the 0.5m panel will be positioned if it will affect your wall graphics.
Stand staffing: Your stand should be manned at all times during the open period and you are advised not to leave personal or valuable items unattended at any point during open, build-up or breakdown.
Stand cleaning: Your stand will be vacuumed early on each event day before you arrive. Specialist cleaning can be arranged directly with the NEC on 0844 3388 338.
Gangways: All your exhibits must be contained within your own stand space – it is not permitted to carryout business or place items in the surrounding gangways.
Construction within your stand space: You are permitted to construct additional stand elements within your stand space provided the regulations for space only exhibitors are adhered to in terms of layout, permitted materials etc. You are also required to email andreahurst@fluid-events.co.uk with full information as to what you are building.
Display materials: All display materials on your stand must be fireproof.
Nightsheets: Nightsheets can be ordered from Creative Event Spaces. If you are providing your own, they must be of inherently non-flammable material or of material satisfactorily treated to render it non-flammable. While the show is open, nightsheets shall be firmly secured and rolled-up in positions, and not cause obstructions.
