Q. When will I receive my visitor badge?

We recommend that all visitors request to receive an e-ticket – which is good for the environment! This simply means that you will receive a unique reference number and will be able to print your badge out at the terminals at the NEC on the day of your visit. If, however, you would still like to receive a badge in the mail – you can request this when you register and this will be mailed to you approximately three weeks before the show.

When you arrive onsite, the badge query desk can amend any details and print off a revised version of your badge.

Just go to the registration desk at the entrance and give the staff your name. They will locate your details on our database and issue you with a new badge.

Your colleagues can register online. They will then receive show updates and be notified when registration is open.
