Any measures that are put in place at the event will be to ensure the safety and comfort of all those on-site. We are continuously updating our guidelines based on the government recommendations and working alongside the Coventry Building Society Arena with their venue protect strategy to make this happen. We look forward to welcoming you back to Coventry for a safe and enjoyable event!

Although it is not mandatory to implement COVID-19 status checks at trade-show events, we believe by doing so we add an additional layer of reassurance for all attendees.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms then please do not enter into this event and follow the current government guidance.
