Keep an eye on things
We’re pleased to say that crime levels at the NEC are very low, and we have extensive security measurements in place. But as in every busy environment, it’s important that you also take some simple measures to look after your property.
- DO NOT leave your stand unattended during the show
- Monitor the visitors to your stand
- Report all crime and concerns, no matter how small
- Think carefully about how and where you are storing any cash
Intellectual property and copyright
If you don’t want stock or stand photos taken, display a sign saying so. If your product design is valuable, protect it against any copying or theft by being on the lookout for people taking photos, etc. and reporting any concerns immediately to security.
If you have any further questions regarding health and safety at the venue, please contact the operations team.
