Passes at the ready
Avoid the queues by pre-registering in advance of your visit. This ensures fast-track entry for you and your colleagues and means you can get straight to business as soon as you arrive. Simply present your confirmation email to a member of the registration team and they will print your pass and provide you with a lanyard, so you can grab a show guide and explore the exhibition.
