Diaries will go live at the beginning of January and will have pre-populated 20-minute appointment times over the 2 days. All meeting appointments are made directly by the buyer with the exhibitor. Buyers can book one of your timeslots on the event app and website, and you will receive an email notifying when they do. You must then accept the appointment within your diary for it to be confirmed. Your appointments will also appear in your ‘My Meetings’ on your event app.

Booking appointments is completely Buyer led, and you will not be able to request meetings with buyers on the system. However, we recommend that you reach out to Buyer contacts personally and use social media with #mbexpo24 to encourage them to register for the event and come and see you. You will also be able to view registered buyers on the app and contact them directly using the chat function. We would recommend you use this feature wisely and avoid over-use.

Outside of the pre-booked appointments slots will close, the floor will open to free networking – where are welcome to attend content sessions or make informal appointments with buyers. The event app will allow you to scan barcodes of all the contacts you make for your records using a ‘digital business card’ lead capture feature.

Block times in your diary for lunch and any other time you would like to close your stand.

These will be provided from 08:30 on Monday 27^th January from the micebook reception desk. Please ensure you collect this before EXPO opens at 09:00 to Buyers. You will be responsible for this during the two days, and we ask that you hand it back to the desk before you leave on the 28^th to be recycled.

The  in-person meetings will take place at Convene between 27th – 28th January. If you are unable to attend the meetings and would like to allocate a replacement, please inform the micebook team at your earliest convenience.

• Flammable liquids or gases
• Exposed flames or naked lights

In cases not covered or only partially covered within this document, micebook’s decision shall be final.

We at micebook have noticed the change in how Buyers are interacting and the conversations they want to have…time to innovate your language – bear in mind Buyers are keen to learn, but unless they request very specific detail, then appeal to their emotional side with examples of how they will feel in your property/destination – gone are the days of quoting sqm sizes of bedrooms. If you need any clarity on this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Olivia.

Lost property will be handed to the micebook reception desk, located on level 3. It is essential you report any loss sustained from your stand to the micebook team at the reception desk.

We are imposing a strict no sales environment within the micebook WRX co-working Zone on level 3 during the hours of 09:30-17:45 across both days of the event. This will allow Buyers to take time out to focus on their work away from any distractions.

It is a legal requirement that, within reason, all disabled people must be given the same opportunities as able-bodied people. This includes the ability to attend exhibitions and look at exhibits, to gain access to information and products promoted.

A briefing from Convene will commence at 08:40 on Monday 27^th January, next to the Reception Desk – please ensure you are present for this and make allowances for travel at this time of the morning. In the event of an emergency please follow the procedure detailed. Following this, there will be a micebook welcome before doors open to Buyers.

If you feel unwell at any point during the event, please contact a member of the micebook events team and let them know. Medical assistance will be provided if required. 

While every reasonable precaution is taken during the event to ensure the premises are adequately patrolled, micebook expressly disclaims the responsibility for any loss or damage to property of the exhibitor from any cause.

Smoking is not permitted inside the building or during the exhibition set-up or break down. This includes the use of e-cigarettes.
