Although the RAI and IBC aim to provide a stable bandwidth and connection, the Wi-Fi networks may be affected by your stand/equipment being used, others stands/equipment around your location or any unauthorised Wi-Fi networks being used in your hall. Therefore, we would always recommend ordering a wired connection, from the RAI Webshop, for any critical systems and/or activities you are planning on your stand.

Any Future Tech Shell or Pod stands planning physical construction within their stand by themselves or a third party appointed contractor (other than the official shell scheme supplier - RAI Exhibitor Services), will need to send their stand design plans and any relevant documentation for approval to Abraxys (IBC’s appointed Stand Plan Inspection Agency). Abraxys will review the plans and documents that are submitted and once completed, will issue a 'Permission to Build’ certificate.
The deadline to submit your stand plan for approval is 20 June 2025 - take a look at our stand plan submission process guide here: Stand Plan Submission Process. Please refer to the Stand Rules and Regulations for your stand type for specific details related to stand build.
