• Current Government advice states that events of this size do not require Vaccine Passports so we will not be asking for these on arrival. We are closely monitoring further announcements and will contact you directly should anything change.

Mask wearing and distancing

• There will be no social distancing or one way systems after registration as the venue is large and there is plenty of space. We will create wider spaced seating areas in the session rooms, where space allows.
• All NHF event staff and venue staff will wear face coverings at all times.

Additional safety measures

• Enhanced cleaning will take place at the venue, particularly in high traffic areas.
• Sanitation stations will be available throughout the venue.
• We have minimised the use of printed materials and recommend not to exchange business cards during the event. The event app allows you to exchange details through QR code scanning.
