How to travel sustainably to SEEC
The Organisers and Sponsors would like to encourage all participants in the event to walk, cycle and use public transport where possible, as part of a healthy lifestyle.
By reducing travel by car this also helps to reduce congestion and pressure on car parking and benefits the environment by cutting down on noise and air pollution, including reducing carbon dioxide emissions which contributes to global warming.

However, to ensure everyone is aware of the running order of the programme on the day and the location of the exhibitors you will be given a one page leaflet.
You will also be issued with a raffle ticket during the afternoon break as some of our sponsors and exhibitors have kindly donated some prizes towards a draw at the close of the event. Prizes donated so far include a 32" Digital Flat LCD TV, LED Lamps and an ipod Touch to name a few.
The Registration Desk is located in the Main Reception Area. There are cloackrooms available throughout the day in Executive Boxes 12, 13 and 14.
*All prizes must be picked up on the day so please ensure you are there to do so should you win!
