  1. Register in advance so you get fast-track entry to the exhibition. You will receive your badge in the post two weeks before the show opens.
  2. Take a look at the exhibitor list to find out which companies you want to meet. With over 300 suppliers, it's important to find the right one for you.
  3. Browse the product catalogue so you can see what products and innovations will be at the show.
  4. Check out the full seminar programme. Brands speaking include: Innocent Drinks, The Body Shop, Quorn Foods plus many more.
  5. Plan you travel. The NEC is well connected via trains, planes and cars. Ensure you have a hassle free journey and check which is the best route for you.

"The Learnshops have been really insightful, and I've got a lot out of the sessions I've attended. There were some refreshing approaches that will be really useful for me."
Steve Pearse, Category Manager, Britvic

We look forward to welcoming you to the NEC in a few weeks!
