Located in Hall 3 the exhibition will comprise of a mixture of space and shell scheme stands. The layout of the exhibition hall has been designed to maximise flow around the hall, the inclusion of the Pharma Presentation zone, coffee and lunch points make the exhibition hall a focal point for delegates, giving you the chance to forge strong personal links with new and existing clients in a professional yet relaxed, atmosphere. We will be continuing our Hot Topic Zones that were well received in 2015 and we will also be hoping to relay the main Plenary sessions into the Exhibition Hall.
