Badges and passes
Badges must be worn at all times to access the exhibition halls during show days, and onsite badge printing will be available from 10:00 on Monday, 15th June 2026.
Exhibitors will receive an allocation of exhibitor passes based on their stand size or sponsorship package, with any additional passes needing to be purchased. For security and health and safety reasons, exhibitor badges may only be used by staff working on your stand and must not be shared with anyone else including visitors to your stand.
Only attendees who require access to the show floor during the show days need to register for a badge; during build up and breakdown, contractors and stand builders will be issued coloured wristbands by security personnel once their stand details are confirmed, and therefore contractors/stand builders do not need to register for a badge.
Lead retrieval
Visit Connect is the official lead retrieval tool for Breakbulk Europe 2026. It allows exhibitors to scan and capture visitor details directly from their smart device, enabling quick and efficient follow‑up after the event.
Lead Capture Licences are available for either single‑device use or unlimited devices for the duration of the event. You can purchase the Lead Capture Licence option that suits your stand by clicking here.
