Safe & Secure - Delegate Guidelines

Your health, safety and comfort has been, and continues to be, our number one priority. As our industry moves forward, we are dedicated to delivering events and facilitating trade with health and safety at the top of the agenda.   In light of this, we have developed Safe & Secure standards. We've worked closely with industry associations in order to establish the guidance that supports regulation and guidance from government.  This has allowed us to confidently launch our comprehensive Safe & Secure guidelines to deliver industry-leading health and safety standards that puts the minds of our community at ease. Please also look out for our Safe & Secure stamp. Wherever you see this logo digitally or onsite it confirms that we have ensured the highest health and safety standards across the event.
