Step 2: Decide which seminars to attend
Search through the keynotes, spotlights and seminars and decide what you would like to attend. You can pre-book all keynotes and two spotlights or seminars each day. Make sure you pre-book your place to seminars, as many sessions fill up quickly.

Step 3: Decide who to see in the exhibition hall

Visit the exhibitor list page to find out who will be at the festival. You can also search by product and category. Also view the floor plan and make a note of the stand numbers and exhibitors you would like to see.

At the festival

Step 1: Grab your free show bag with the Show Guide
Make sure you collect your free show bag, which contains your Show Guide, at the exhibition doors. Take a moment to read the guide and familiarise yourself with the different elements of the festival.

Step 2: Visit the Seminar Ticket Desk in Hall 4
Three weeks prior to the festival, you would have received your visitor badges and seminar tickets in the post. For seminar sessions with remaining seats available, visit the team at the Seminar Ticket Desk in Hall 4 to collect tickets. The exception to this rule are the keynotes. If you haven’t pre-booked a seat to the keynote addresses, you do not need to line up for a ticket at the seminar ticket desk to attend them. Simply show your visitor badge at the doors of the Clyde Auditorium for entry.

Step 3: Explore the exhibition floor
Allow plenty of time to explore the exhibition floor. There is bound to be something there for you. Spend some time in the new Early Years Zone, Health and Wellbeing Zone and the Learning in Practice area. Check out the timetable at the Topic Surgeries and the Educational Showcase too.

Step 4: Attend your seminars
If you have registered for seminars, you will have received your seminar tickets in the post with your badges. If not, visit the Seminar Ticket Desk in Hall 4 for tickets for any spare seats available. Redeem these at the door to attend your seminars. Make sure you write down all the good ideas you’ve come across in your seminars.

Step 5: Network, share and network some more
There are plenty of catering spots throughout the SECC and lounges on the exhibition floor to chat with peers and re-energise. Topic Surgeries are also a great way to meet like-minded colleagues and engage in discussions with the festival’s presenters.
