Admissions Policy

• The National Education Show is a free to attend education exhibition (seminars are not included) and open to anyone within the education sector. You may be required to show proof of your trade activities and/or ID at the entrance to the show.
• All attendees, be they visitors, exhibitors, press or speakers to the National Education Show events must hold a valid badge and be registered for the current show at the event.
• Badge holders must not allow their badges to be worn by anyone else. Any failure is likely to lead to the badge holder and the person wearing the badge being removed from the event and possibly being barred from attending future National Education Show Ltd events.
• Anyone obtaining a show attendee badge by theft, deception or other illegal means may be asked to leave the event and may be barred from attending future National Education Show Ltd events.
• No one under the age of 16 should register for the National Education Show events.

       Canvassing

• Anyone attending National Education Show events must not take part in any canvassing, leafleting, demonstrations, objectionable behaviour or any activity which may disrupt the business activities at the event, and may be asked to leave the event and may be barred from attending future National Education Show Ltd events.
• Many exhibitors give out samples of products for potential buyers to try. These are intended for genuine buyers or users. Anyone found to be taking excessive samples from stands without engaging with the exhibitor or without the exhibitor’s express permission, may be asked to leave the event.
• The Organisers reserve the right to exclude or remove anyone from the event and venue who does not comply with this policy or who they reasonably consider are likely to break these rules or who are prohibited from attending under any applicable laws or regulations.
• Non-exhibiting companies attending National Education Show events are requested not to solicit for business on the show floor or from exhibitors within the show venue including car park. If found doing so will be asked to leave the event and may be barred from attending future National Education Show Ltd events.

       Non-Exhibitor Promotion and Branded Clothing

• Attendees who have not booked and paid for an exhibition stand must not undertake promotional or commercial activity at the event or present themselves in a way that could reasonably give the impression that they are an exhibitor, sponsor or other official commercial participant.
• This includes wearing prominently branded or promotional clothing, uniforms or other items displaying a company or commercial brand where, in the Organisers’ reasonable opinion, this is being used to promote that business, solicit business, or create the impression of an exhibitor presence at the event.
• For the avoidance of doubt, ordinary incidental branding on clothing or personal items is not prohibited. This restriction is intended to prevent non-exhibiting businesses from using branded clothing or other promotional methods to obtain commercial exposure within the event without having booked the appropriate exhibition or sponsorship package.
• Non-exhibitors must not distribute promotional materials, display promotional signage, approach attendees or exhibitors for commercial purposes, conduct sales activity, arrange meetings for the purpose of soliciting business on the show floor, or otherwise promote their products or services without the prior written permission of the Organisers.
• Where the Organisers reasonably determine that a company or its representative(s) have undertaken unauthorised promotional or commercial activity which amounts to, or is intended to create, an exhibitor presence at the event, the company will be charged the full prevailing price of a Table Top Exhibition package for that event. By registering for and/or attending the event, attendees attending on behalf of a company or organisation acknowledge and accept this condition.
• Payment of the Table Top Exhibition charge does not retrospectively confer exhibitor status, provide any entitlement to exhibition benefits, or give the company permission to continue the unauthorised promotional activity.
• The Organisers additionally reserve the right to require any attendee who breaches these provisions to cease the promotional activity, cover or remove prominently branded promotional clothing or materials where reasonably practicable, or leave the event. Serious or repeated breaches may result in the individual and/or organisation being refused admission to future National Education Show events.
