About Exhibiting
The ethos behind the big show is about it being affordable and accessible to enable every woman in business to exhibit.
We've kept the stand costs to a minimum, they start at only £25 (sold out. Tables available from £40) but it's also about not having to spend loads of money on display banners, cards, leaflets and all of the paraphernalia often seen at business expos.
Just turning up and joining in is all that's needed.
There are no hidden charges for internet or electricity, although electric points are restricted.
- Early Bird prices apply to a limited number of stands and are on a first-come basis. After your booking details have been sent to you, payment must be made within 7 days to secure the place.
- Scroll down to see which exhibition space you're interested in. You're not confirming an exhibition space in at this stage, so that can all be changed later.
- Click through on the 'Get Started' and there is a short form for you to fill in.
- We can then have a chat and get the right booking details sent to you. Your booking and payment will be confirmed by email and we will then start the onboarding process for your profile and promotion (depending on which package you've chosen).
- The payment for the table doesn't include any refreshments, although we may add this as an optional extra closer to the event date.

4. If you arrive with goods and services other than those which you booked for then you may not be allowed to sell, display or promote them on the day.
5. We reserve the right not to refund your stand space if you cancel before the event or fail to turn up on the day.

10. You may bring children, however, we need to maintain a safe environment and ensure all attendees can enjoy the activities on offer. Some of the activities require a quiet environment (eg massage) and even well-behaved children can get bored and cause a disruption. Therefore we must reserve the right if this happens to ask that the children be taken outside. There will not be any activities or facilities to keep children amused.
11. Wifi will be available however, as with all such facilities, things do go wrong on the day. If your activity depends on being able to access wifi, we recommend you bring along your own back-up in case of failure on the day. There are a number of payment terminal providers that can work from your phone network if wifi is not available.
12. Every effort will be made to give you a table which matches the size and shape you were expecting or requested, however, we reserve the right to change that at the last minute if that proves necessary.
