Welcome to your exhibitor manual for RCN Congress. This year we have tried to make our exhibitor manual and resources easier and more accessible to all.

In this repository, you’ll find a range of documents and resources that should contain everything you will need to manage your exhibition presence at RCN Congress 2025. We will update with additional resources as the event approaches and send you emails to remind you of key milestones on the ‘to do’ list ahead of the event.

We recommend booking your accommodation as early as possible; with many delegates attending Congress rooms close to the event are limited. The venue has provided a map of all local hotels which is available via their website.

For information on arrival and loading bay access please find a pdf here.

For information on car parking in the local area the ACC has developed a pdf you can access here.

Shell scheme is the name given to pre-erected rows of stands (which include carpet, a light and electrical socket); where you simply turn up and dress the stand. Stands at RCN Congress are all shell scheme as standard.

All shell scheme packages include:

• a fully carpeted high-quality Octanorm shell scheme stand with a nameboard
• an electrical package (500-watt socket and two 100-watt spot lights)*
• a fifty-word company entry on the RCN Congress website
• your company name and stand number listed in the RCN Congress guide
• tea and coffee for stand personnel

The shell scheme is 2.5m in height and each panel is just under 1m. You may attach items to the shell scheme via temporary fixings such as Blu-Tack and Sellotape.

Please be aware that the shell scheme is supplied with no furniture. You are free to provide any furniture you require, alternatively you can order furniture from our supplier: Dzine Furniture

There are also a number of stand extras available from FullCircle our stand contractors.

For shell scheme accessories, electrical orders and nameboards please email exhibit@fullcircleeventsltd.co.uk

The venue offers complimentary Wi-Fi across all areas of the venue allowing delegates and visitors to browse the internet, check e-mails and use social media with an available internet bandwidth of up to 1Gb across the venue. Please note that as standard speeds are up to 5Mbps. Complimentary Wi-Fi can be identified on your device as ‘FREE WI-FI’

If you require an increase to wireless speeds or a wired connection this is available to order direct from the venue on their dedicated RCN Congress order page. Please note that this requires creating an account with the ACC Liverpool to order.

It has been brought to our attention in the past few years that a company has been sending emails suggesting they are selling RCN Congress delegate details. Please note that this is a scam. The RCN does not sell delegate data to third parties. If you receive any communication regarding RCN Congress that is of concern please contact us at congressexhibition@rcn.org.uk.

Should you need any further information that is not covered above, please contact the RCN Corporate Relations Team on 020 7647 3959 or CongressExhibition@rcn.org.uk.
