We are implementing COVID-19 status checks.

All attendees (visitors, exhibitors, speakers, contractors, venue staff and event team) to The Engineering Design Show, will need proof of COVID-19 status for entry to the event.

This will need to be one of the following:

1. Proof of completion of a full course of vaccination two weeks prior to arrival.
2. Proof of a negative lateral flow test result taken within 48hrs of arrival.*
3. Proof of natural immunity as shown by a positive PCR test result for COVID-19, lasting for 180 days from the date of the positive test and following completion of the self-isolation period.

* If your proof is a negative lateral flow test and you are onsite for multiple days this will need to be retaken and reported again every 72hrs. We recommend if this applies to you that you bring additional tests with you when you travel.

Although it is not mandatory to implement COVID-19 status checks at trade-show events, we believe by doing so we add an additional layer of reassurance for all attendees.

1. In accordance, with NHS and Government guidelines, there will be small number of exemptions for individuals who have a medical reason which means they cannot vaccinate or test. For those participants who are exempt, this should be self-declared but evidence of this will not be required and access to the show will be granted.
   
   
2. Individuals under 18 will not be required to demonstrate their COVID-19 status. However, we recommend that these participants still take a lateral flow test within 48hrs of arrival.

SOCIAL DISTANCING

We have introduced 3m aisles where possible across the entire event to encourage social distancing.

Please remember to respect the space of others  and if possible avoid handshaking or hugs, consider an elbow bump instead.

CLEANING & PERSONAL HYGIENE

Please carry your own hand sanitiser and apply when you enter and leave exhibitor stands, features and theatres.

Please use hand the sanitisers provided throughout the venue. 

We have asked exhibitors to ensure a deeper clean before, during and after the show opens each day.

Along with the Coventry Arena, we are conducting a thorough, enhanced cleaning regime of all public areas and features prior to show opening and during show open periods.

TRACK AND TRACE

When you register for the event, please provide accurate information.
