The exhibition hall will be cleaned prior to the show opening each day. This will include all public aisles and common areas and, where possible, stands will have light vacuuming. Closed storage rooms will not be cleaned unless someone is on the stand. Additional cleaning work can be ordered through the P&J Live on-line shop. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to keep their stands tidy, and for ensuring that waste is deposited in accordance with the rules on waste disposal. For health and safety reasons it is important that all exhibitors and contractors keep walkways clear of rubbish. Any items left in the aisles are subject to being cleared away, regardless of whether or not they are waste.  

Cloakrooms

Cloakroom facilities will be available at Floating Offshore Wind free of charge. 

Co-Exhibitors

Organisers of large pavilions can register co-exhibitors directly with the event organisers. Only by doing this can you ensure that your co-exhibiting company will benefit from a separate entry in the Floating Offshore Wind online exhibitor list, and in the event app.
