Those who attended in 2023 included: The venue at UKREiiF is large – with over 10,000 delegates expected for our 2024 event it’s good to try and understand the event layout ahead of attending, in addition to the wider city. Below is a bit of an overview into what to expect and where to find the key areas at the event… THE SITE The event isn’t at a specific conference centre and therefore the event has a number of entry points, all of which are fenced and gated with security to check details to enter. Those entry points (subject to change) are below and more details will be shared before the event takes place. Further to this below we highlight some of the key areas across the site to help you understand where core areas such as our stages, pavilions and exhibition halls can be found. GROWTH AREAS We are seeing exponential growth of UKREiiF and therefore we’re growing the site further to accommodation this – highlighted below with all areas in green. This includes a large increase on Pavilions in comparison to 2023 and the incorporation of The Boulevard which has spaces such as restaurants, cafes and bars now being incorporated into the restricted zones. We will share further information in due course on the site once more specific details are confirmed. One element that was thriving last year was the fringe activity which takes place both within the walls of UKREiiF which attendees must have a valid UKREiiF pass to attend and also across the wider city.
