Important Information about the Friday Opening and New Format.
Please note that Friday, 8th November 2024, will follow a new format with show hours from 15:45 to 19:45.

To ensure everything is set up smoothly and on time, we kindly ask all exhibiting schools to arrive at the venue from 14:00. This will give you a 1 hour and 45 minute window to finalise your stand before the show opens to visitors.

Please do not arrive before 14:00, as access to the venue will not be permitted earlier.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a successful start to the show.
