Shell Scheme, Pavilions & Package Stands
Please refer to your Contract to Exhibit for your stand details including dimensions and number of corners. If you are unsure of what stand you have booked or would like to upgrade your stand, please contact the Sales Team.
Shell Scheme Health & Safety
As an exhibitor, you have a legal duty of care for the safety of anyone on your stand who may be affected by your actions or omissions. Every exhibitor is responsible for making sensible adjustments to their space and onsite activities to ensure we maintain a safe environment across the show for everyone who is onsite during build up, show open and breakdown.
As a Shell Scheme or Pavilion Exhibitor you are required to produce the following documents.
- Safety Questionnaire for both Shell and Pavilion stands including where necessary all Fire Certificates
- A detailed risk assessment for show open, identifying any risks with working onsite. This does not need to be submitted but must be available if requested.
- A risk assessment for build and breakdown (only required from shell scheme stands who are building within their stand. If you are not planning any build these documents will be done on your behalf by the official stand contractor).

Space Only Stands
If you have booked a 'Space Only' stand this means you will be allocated an empty space on the show floor and you are responsible for providing everything else.
Please refer to your Contract to Exhibit for your stand details including dimensions and number of corners. If you are unsure of what stand you have booked or would like to upgrade your stand please contact the Sales Team.
An alternative to your current space only would be to upgrade to a SmartSpace Stand - which will be less costly than creating your own stand from scratch and also far less hassle, as the SmartSpace team will manage the whole build process for you.

Space Only Exhibitor Responsibilities
Exhibitors are responsible for their own stand design and construction. No standfitting or carpet is provided by RX on space only sites. It is your responsibility to examine the area and site allotted to you in order to avoid costly adjustments to stand structures. Where possible the organisers will provide, on request, detailed stand plots indicating the position of service ducts and pillars. Minor obstructions or height restrictions cannot always be indicated on the plans of the Exhibition.
Standfitting regulations contained within this section must be observed by you when planning your stand design and layout. In order to achieve a smooth run up to the Exhibition, all exhibitors should provide us with details of their selected contractors. This will enable us to supply them with any additional information they may require.
If you have an appointed contractor, please email [email protected] with their contact details.
We will be pleased to offer advice and guidance where required.
Stand Build Submissions
As a space only stand you are required to submit certain documents in advance of build which are required no later than:
11 October 2024
To avoid unnecessary issues, delays, and additional costs we have created a guide to help explain what documents we need to receive as part of your stand plan submission. Please ensure you read through this:
Stand design submissions must include plans, elevations showing heights, visuals, risk assessment, method statement, and construction and Safety Questionnaire with accompany Fire Certificates where necessary.
How To Submit Stand Plans
Ops Squad Stand Plan Team will be looking after the space only stand plan sign off process in its entirety for the event, including managing all queries you may have about your stand designs.
In order to issue permission to build, we require the documents as detailed in the list below from you or your contractor to be submitted through the FFAIR portal.
- Fully dimensional stand plans with elevations
- Risk assessment for the build and breakdown periods
- Method statement including work phases and times
- Public liability insurance
- Safety Questionnaire
As a space only exhibitor, you will be sent a link to sign up to the portal. You can add your contractor’s details to the portal and they will also be able to upload the necessary documents.
If you have not received the sign up link to the portal, please contact Ops Squad at the details below, and they will be able to assist you. The sign up link comes from [email protected]. You may search from emails from this sender.
Once they have all of this information they will review and come back to you with any questions and then issue you with a Permission to Build Certificate.
You will not be able to commence build without a Permission to Build Certificate. Please do not hesitate to contact them with any queries as they will make the process as easy as possible for you.
