Please refer to your Exhibition Agreement, for your stand details, dimensions and number of corners.

If you have booked a 'Space Only' stand this means you will be allocated an empty space on the show floor and you are responsible for providing everything else.

Please refer to your Exhibition Agreement for your stand details including dimensions and number of corners. If you are unsure of what stand you have booked or would like to upgrade your stand please contact the Sales Team.

PLEASE NOTE: If your contract says Space Only, we understand you have tendered a stand contractor to design and build a stand. View the Exhibition Timetable for information on the days and times the stand must be built and dismantled within.

We understand that you may be building your own stand, or that you may have tendered a stand contractor to design and build a stand for you. The information in this manual is incredibly important, so please pass this on to contractors who are working with you. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Exhibitors are responsible for their own stand design and construction. No stand fitting or carpet is provided by MCM for Space Only stands.

It is your responsibility to examine the area and site allocated to you, in order to avoid costly adjustments to stand structures. Where possible the organiser’s will provide on request detailed stand plots indicating the position of service ducts. Minor obstructions or height restrictions cannot always be indicated on the plans of the Exhibition.

Stand build regulations contained within this section must be observed by you when planning your stand design and layout. In order to achieve a smooth run up to the Exhibition, all exhibitors should provide us with details of their selected contractors. This will enable us to supply them additional information they may require.

We will be pleased to offer advice and guidance where required.

Space Only stands are required to submit certain documents in advance of build which is required no later than 18 April 2025.

Our stand plan checking process has changed and we are now partnering with Ops Squad Stand Plan Team to complete our stand plan checks for MCM Comic Con London.

Ops Squad Stand Plan Team will be looking after the space only stand plan sign off process in its entirety for the event, including managing all queries you may have about your stand designs. In order to sign off your stand design we require the following information from you or your contractor to be submitted at [email protected];

• Fully dimensional stand plans with elevations
• Rigging requirements – where relevant
• Structural calculations – if required, see Complex Structures
• Use of lifting equipment/need for complex lifts
• Risk assessment for the build and breakdown periods
• Method statement including work phases and times
• Public liability insurance
• Construction & Dismantle Phase Plan

Once they have all of this information they will review and come back to you with any questions and then issue you with a Permission to Build Certificate.

You will not be able to commence build without a Permission to Build Certificate. Please do not hesitate to contact them with any queries as they will make the process as easy as possible for you.
