OUR COVID 19 SECURE MEASURES

Farnborough International Exhibition and
Conference Centre is a safe environment; it is
certainly not short of space and the staff are
trained and committed to ensuring guests
and suppliers feel confident and looked
after when they on site.
We work to guidelines under the industry’s
‘All Secure Standard’ and government
advice.
Following the Government’s latest
guidance announced on 14 June, ITT Hub can go ahead under Stage 3 rules, with a restriction on numbers:
1,000 people indoors and up to 4,000 people outdoors.

                We have made the following adjustments:
                • Wider aisles
                • 1m + spacing within the conference room and seated features areas
                • Separation between the entrance and exit out of Hall 1
                • Increased circulation space
                • Additional signage to increase awareness of government advice
                • Larger Catering Areas with one-way systems, managed
                  seating areas, extra space between tables and a cashless
                  (cards only) payment service.
                • Larger outdoor exhibition area
                • Multiple automatic touch-free hand sanitiser stations
                • An enhanced cleaning regime with daily deep cleans and
                  effective waste management.
                • Our catering will be operating effective distancing measures
                • Demonstration vehicles subject to cleaning process after each use
                •   This show guide uses Cellomed, an innovative anti-bacterial coating

                                        Face coverings must be worn indoors, unless exempt. Our modern
                                        Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system draws
                                        fresh air in from outside the building, avoiding air recirculation.

The future is here
We are incredibly proud to open the doors to
Innovation and Technology in Transport (ITT Hub).
When we prepared our business plan in 2018, we
decided to create a brand that would ‘do what
it says on the tin’. Three years later we’re excited
to welcome 150 companies taking part and 35
leading industry speakers at our Future Logistics
Conference.
As a launch event we’ve tried to be different, to
give visitors something unique. We encourage
feedback and I would love to hear about your
experience. Please drop me a line (mark.griffin@

making ITT Hub the event to be at each year.
Taking the plunge to launch any new business or
brand in any market is never easy. ITT Hub has
been no different.

Over two miles of roadway are available for supervised
demonstration drives in our Ride & Drive area, giving you
the opportunity to try vehicles in one of the most exciting
and interactive parts of the exhibition.
The ‘Ride & Drive’ demonstration Hub offers two areas:
one for trucks and one for buses, coaches and vans.
Our partner Schmitz Cargobull is supporting the truck
demonstration hub.
Leading brands, including ADL, BYD, Caetano, DAF
Trucks, Dawsongroup, Fiat, Ford, Harris Maxus, Iveco,
Mercedes-Benz, Pelican Yutong, Renault Trucks, Switch
Mobility and Wrightbus will be showcasing their latest
vehicles from which a selection will be available.
If you wish to drive a vehicle, you must have your licence
checked and undertake an alcohol breath test. Once
approved you will be supplied with a ‘stamp of approval’
– a sort of ‘passport’ – for the entire day.
To have your licence checked, please visit the West
Entrance of the Exhibition Hall (opposite the entrance
to the outdoor exhibition area). The desk is next to the
Registration Area where our partner, the Licence Bureau,
will undertake the checks.
Drug and alcohol safety experts AlcoDigital are working
in partnership with ITT Hub and will be providing drug
and alcohol testing services for the ‘Ride & Drive’ test
facility.
You will need to show a valid UK driving licence for the
class of vehicle and driver qualification card.
We regret that without this, you will be unable to
participate in the Ride & Drive. Also, we are unable to
process non-UK licences during the event – unless you
have ordered a pre-arranged check.
Once you have your Wristband, to arrange a test drive,
please visit the relevant exhibitor’s stand at the event to
book a drive, where you present your Wristband.
