Sustainability is increasingly important to event attendees. Exhibiting at an Informa Connect event allows you to highlight your company’s sustainability credentials and align with an event that champions sustainability.

To ensure that your company and exhibiting stand are aligned with Informa’s sustainability goals, please review the Exhibitor Sustainability Checklist and consider the steps as you plan your event.

If you have a space only stand, you must ensure that your stand is compliant with Informa’s Better Stands programme as detailed in the Exhibitor Service Manual and reaches at least a Bronze Level.
