The lead scanner works through the Affilifest app. We’ll send you a step-by-step guide ahead of the event so you can get set up in advance. You’ll be able to add your team to your exhibitor profile, so everyone can make the most of the lead scanning feature on the day.

Unless you’re using one of our recommended suppliers and have arranged delivery directly with them, all items must be brought with you when you set up your stand/space. (Check the exhibitor manual for details).

Affilifest and Freight Island cannot accept deliveries on your behalf and cannot take responsibility for any items delivered to the venue.

Unfortunately there is no storage space available at the venue. All items must be on stands/sponsor areas.
