Can I bring children?

Children are permitted in the hall during show open hours but must be accompanied by an adult.

Can I register upon arrival to the show?

Of course! Our registration desk is set up outside of the main entrance to the hall, and we will have a team on-site to assist should you have any questions. We recommend registering ahead of time, however, as you will gain access to exclusive information and show previews.

Once you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email. With that confirmation email, you will be able to download a digital barcode that can be scanned at the show, or you can add your registration to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

Is my registration for the show date-specific?

Not at all! You can enter the show at any time on any date, and as many times as you'd like.

What if I have forgotten my entry badge when I arrive to the show?

Please let one of our on-site staff know, and they can find your registration in our system and print off your badge.

Do you provide visitor invitation letters for visa applications?

It is against our company policy to issue visa request letters for visitors to our trade shows. Once you have registered via the website, you will receive a confirmation email which may be sufficient for visa applications.

We have a full section of information on travelling to the event here.

Is there free Wi-Fi at the venue?

Yes -- the Wi-Fi is called "SEC Public Wi-Fi" and is not password protected. We do not recommend using this to view sensitive information, as it is a public Wi-Fi network.

Can I get refreshments?

Is there a cloakroom?

Yes. The cloakroom is available in the concourse, across from Hall 4.

Yes. Please see the SEC's website for a full rundown of their accessible amenities.
