Why should you exhibit?

All refreshments and food will be served in the exhibition, with a morning break, lunch andafternoon break provisioned for each day. The ACA AGM has been removed from the event to allow extra exhibition time. The provision of an early evening drinks reception within the exhibition hall after sessions onthe 16th May. We would encourage all exhibitors to attend that. Further details to follow.

ACA Conference is a well established 2-day event, which is taking place as a purely in-personevent this year in Bristol. As it has been 3 years since the last physical ACA Conference we areexpecting strong interest from both delegates and exhibitors, and early sign up is recommended.

Much consideration goes into encouraging delegates to move easily and freely around all areas ofthe exhibition to gain access to all stands. Catering will be placed strategically to draw delegates toall areas of the exhibition hall and seating areas are designed to allow delegates somewhere toenjoy their refreshments but not to linger. Thus every effort is made to facilitate the successfulflow of delegates around the exhibition.

The event is expected to attract approximately 160 delegates (see delegate profile below) and theprogramme is being designed to maximise exhibition viewing time including:

The programme also allows for a number of symposium slots and has been designed to appealacross the multi disciplinary audience.
