Contractor Badges - Build and Breakdown

Before arriving onsite please ensure that you and your team have received, read and understood the site rules - a copy can be downloaded here.

At EGX we now need all contractors who are coming onsite for build or breakdown to register their details and complete the site induction before they will be allowed into the exhibition halls. You will receive an email confirmation once you have completed the process which you will need to use as access into the halls for build and breakdown each day. 

Every contractor coming onsite for build or breakdown will need to register themselves and complete the site induction which can be done in advance on a mobile phone to generate their confirmation. This will be live approximately 3 weeks before the start of build. Information on how to register will be added to this section of the manual, as well as emailed to contractors. Please make sure you share this information with all contractors coming onsite for build and break down. 

Contractor Registration is now live and every contractor coming onsite for build or breakdown should follow the below instructions to register themselves and complete the site induction before arriving onsite. Please share this information with all contractors coming onsite for the build and break down. 

Before coming onsite:

1. Scan the QR code below with your mobile phone, or alternatively use this link.

Fill in the registration form and review the site rules.

3.       Press ‘Submit’ to generate your e-badge which is valid for build and breakdown.

4.       Save the e-badge to your phone to take it onsite with you.

Onsite:

When you arrive onsite show your e-badge to security who will check your photo and then let you into the exhibition halls. This will be done every day you enter the exhibition halls so make sure you have your e-badge easily accessible.

To avoid delays, we strongly recommend you complete your registration in advance.

The data collected from contractor registration is shared with relevant parties involved in the organisation of EGX London. For more information, please view our Privacy Policy.

If you have any issues registering in advance, please contact the Operations Team.

 

Maintenance Passes

This year we are unable to issue maintenance passes to contractors for the show open period. If you require access to a stand during show open your badge must be included in the exhibitor badge allocation and included in the stand capacity/density calculations.

If you require contractor access to your stand after show close, please email [email protected]

Sustainability

EGX is committed to promoting sustainability in exhibitions and we continually work with venues, suppliers and contractors to reduce the impact our activities have on the environment.

RX has signed up to the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge with the aim of achieving zero emissions by 2040. To help us reach our goal we have produced a sustainability charter, guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals which will direct our considerations as to the ways in which our events are organised.

With the charter in mind we have created an Exhibitor Sustainability Checklist which you can utilise in the planning of your participation at EGX 2023.

We are also pleased to announce the below sustainable initiatives that you can participate in at the event:

  • Prominent recycling bins across show floor
