Space Only Stand Plan Inspection Fee will now be paid directly to Abraxys, our Health & Safety Partner upon stand plan submission.  The SPI fee can be paid by either the exhibitor or stand contractor submitting the plans.

Previously the Raw Space Only fee ($350) was added to the booth space fee and included in the exhibition sales contract. This has been removed from 2026 contracts and is now managed by Abraxys directly. Please see below for the fees and kindly note that this is separate to the additional fees that apply for complex stands (refer to complex stands section of the manual).

The SPI fee also includes the cost of your Better Stands Assessment and is a compulsory independent Health and Safety review applicable to all Space / Raw Space Only exhibitors.     This fee can be paid at the time of your plan submission, or ahead of your plan submission, so you can take advantage of the Pre-deadline rate.   Fees are payable via the Abraxys online secure retail site.

• Space Only Stand Stand Plan Inspection fee, including Better Stands Assessment  - Pre deadline : £275 + VAT
• Space Only Stand Stand Plan Inspection fee, including Better Stands Assessment  - Post deadline : £390 + VAT

Raw space booths include only the space on the show floor. The exhibitor is responsible for the design, construction and furnishing of the stand. You will be expected to produce a professionally built custom stand with a high level of finish and safety compliance and one that is in line with the high-quality, professional nature of the event. Please note space only stands do not receive carpet, walls, or electrics.

All Island and/or raw-space booths must submit their plans online here no later than 3rd September if they are complex and no later than 10th September if they are non-complex

Additional services including Internet, floral, etc. can be ordered via the RAI webshop. 

Complex Structures

A complex structure is defined as any form of construction which would normally be designed by an engineer and has, through a risk assessment, been found to provide a significant risk.

Please make sure your stand is in compliance with all of the display and health and safety guidelines. The maximum allowable height for island booths is 4 meters (13 feet). A variance to 6 meters (20 feet) may be issued with permission from show management. The maximum height for linear (inline) stands is 2.5 meters (8 feet).

All stands that are 4 meters or greater, and/or deemed complex for any reason will need to be approved by a structural engineer appointed by Show Management. The exhibitor will be billed directly by the structural engineer.

Fees for Complex Structures

• All complex structures are subject to an additional fee that will be billed directly from our Health & Safety Partner Abraxys 
• There is a £450 + vat (if VAT relevant) or equivalent Euro rate for all complex stands.  This is only payable if stand plans have been deemed complex by Abraxys.
