Yes, all exhibitors and contractors bringing vehicles to NEC that wish to unload/ load onsite during build-up and breakdown must book a time slot via Voyage Control which will be live from 4th March 2025 . Once you have booked a time slot, you will receive a confirmation email with a Vehicle Pass to show to the traffic marshals upon arrival (digitally on your personal device or printed).

No, please make sure you bring any equipment to site that you might require to help transport your displays/ goods to your stand. Alternatively, you can request a quote from our Official Lifting & Handling Contractor for assistance.

This is entirely up to you, depending on how bright you want your stand to be and whether you want to spotlight specific products or displays. As guidance, our electrical contractor recommends a minimum of 2x spotlights for stands up to 18sqm.

This depends on what equipment or devices that you need power for. Please make sure to check the wattage required to run each item.

Listed below are examples of "typical" loadings for items plugged into socket outlets:

500-watt sockets: PC computers, TV’s, video’s, spotlights to 500W, refrigerators
1000-watt sockets: domestic filter coffee machines, lighting up to 1000W
2000-watt sockets: kettles**, machinery up to 2000W
3000-watt sockets: hired coffee machines, machinery 2000W to 3000W

Note ** - these appliances are of varying power requirements dependent upon type or manufacturer. It is therefore essential that the reference tag or plate that is fitted to each appliance under law be read, the loading in watts or kW (kilo Watts = Watts x 1000) will be stated, and the appropriate size socket ordered.

Exhibitors are required to complete a detailed Risk Assessment. A copy must also be available on the stand for presentation should it be requested by either the venue, the HSE or the Local Authority. If it is considered that unsafe practices are being undertaken, they have the authority to close down the stand. The Exhibitor Risk Assessment only covers activities for which the exhibitor is directly responsible, it does not cover organiser, venue or contractor activities. Click here for a RA template

Using the Risk Assessment template linked here, read the examples and consider what risks/ hazards may present themselves on your stand in line with your stand activities and complete these on the form, followed by what control measures you will put in place to reduce the risk. If you require assistance, please contact ops.fit@montgomerygroup.com
