Catering

All catering will be free of charge throughout the event. 

Please note: Sponsor places are allocated according to your contract package, additional staff passes are charged at £115 + VAT per person to cover the catering costs. 


Congestion Charge &
Low Emission Zone

Please note that the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms is within the Congestion Charge Zone. Anyone (except those discounted or exempt) driving through or parking a vehicle on public roads within a congestion charging zone has to pay a daily charge of £15.00. Payment of this charge allows you to enter, drive around and leave the charging zone as many times as you wish that day.

The congestion charge is operational from 07:00 - 18:30 Monday to Friday. For further information please click here.

How to Pay:

ONLINE: please follow the links at www.cclondon.com
BY PHONE: please call 0845 900 1234
RETAIL OUTLETS: pay in cash at newsagents, convenience stores and petrol stations where you see the congestion charging sign or the Pay Point logo.
SELF SERVICE MACHINES: Look out for the self service machines in major public car parks within the charging zone.

There is a higher charge to pay for vehicles travelling within the M25 that do not comply with the emission standards. You will need to pay a daily charge if you drive within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in a vehicle that does not meet the ULEZ emission standards and is not exempt from the scheme or registered for a 100% discount.

For more information on the ULEZ/LEZ please click here.

PLEASE NOTE: If items are left at the venue after the show and breakdown has finished and they are not correctly labelled for collection, the venue will not keep these items. They will store labelled items for up to one week before they are disposed of. It is not the responsibility of the venue to arrange collections, contact couriers or check left items.

Haulage / Equipment Transport - If you require help with the haulage/shipment of your equipment for Procurement Strategies & Innovation please contact Bree Pace.

International Deliveries - It is essential that any items sent to the UK from overseas are clearly marked. It is of paramount importance that description forms are completed fully for customs. Please ensure that you allow plenty of time for your international items to arrive. Items can be held in customs for up to 7 days. If you do not have a UK address that items can be shipped to in advance please contact Bree Pace to discuss your requirements.

 

 Security

Whilst every reasonable precaution is taken to ensure the safety and security of personnel and equipment, the Organisers cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for any loss or damage or any consequential losses which may befall your personnel or property.

We would strongly recommend that valuables, particularly those of a portable nature such as laptops, tablets etc, are not left unattended on your stand or in the conference room at any time but especially during the breakdown period.  If you think you may need storage for a particular period of time please contact the registration on site and we will try our best to accommodate your needs.

A primary objective of ours is to deny access to the professional thief.  In order to do this we operate a no badge, no entry rule. This rule applies not only to delegates but to sponsors, speakers, staff and contractors as well.
If there is an incident on your stand resulting in loss of property, please make sure you report it to Revolution Events whilst onsite, unfortunately failure to do so could result in your insurance claim being made void.

 

Sponsor Badges

As sponsors of Procurement Strategies & Innovation (PSI) you are entitled to a number of badges, which will be detailed in your event contract.

Register for your badges / passes

Badges can be collected from registration from 07:00am on Tuesday 3rd March 2026.

As sponsors of Procurement Strategies & Innovation (PSI) you are entitled to invite VIP guests, e.g.  important customers, clients to the event. Please ensure those invited meet the PSI delegate criteria.
 
NOTE: As a sponsor at Procurement Strategies & Innovation (PSI), we request that, should you or a colleague find your contact details on a delegate list, that you are courteous and introduce yourself as a competitor, rather than asking questions or requesting further information should you be contacted post-event.

Professionally recorded seminar session with synced slides displayed alongside the video:
- PSI will provide your details to the video company, as the final file belongs to you.
  They will request:
         - The latest version of the slides used during the live presentation.
         - Any supporting videos that accompanied the presentation.
         - An up-to-date high-resolution company logo for the video’s opening and closing. If you have animated intros/outros or specific fonts, please supply those as well.
 
- The video team will produce the file and send you a private Google Drive link to download your 1920x1080 HD MP4 video.
- You’ll have the opportunity to request one round of revisions (e.g., adjusting slide timing, correcting titles, etc.).
- Once finalised, they’ll provide a revised version of your video for use. If no changes are needed, the initial version will serve as the final one. Please inform either the video team or Emily Taylor if the video is approved as-is.
 
All videos can be included on the Procurement Strategies & Innovation (PSI) YouTube channel which will be promoted on the event website. If you are interested in the above or have any additional video needs please contact Emily Taylor.
