ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY EVENTS

Corinium are working hard to ensure that our events are as environmentally friendly as possible. We are aiming to reduce overall waste onsite at events over the coming years and will be working closely with the venues to do our part for the environment and we ask that our sponsors do the same. 
Please consider your stand set up and items and merchandise onsite at event and where possible opt for the more environmentally friendly option i.e., re-use banners/signage, opt for non-plastic giveaways etc.

 

SECURITY

The venue will maintain 24-hour security throughout the duration of the event. While every reasonable precaution is taken, Corinium and the venue accept no responsibility for any loss or damage that may occur to exhibitors property. We highly advise that exhibitors do not leave valuables unattended at any point during the event and that they take anything of value with them when they leave their stand for the night.
