All stands between Halls 2 and 3 are situated under a tent (roof, no walls), which means they are subject to slightly different restrictions than those inside the halls. The maximum build height varies depending on the stand's location (more information below) — some areas have a height limit of 2.5m, while others allow up to 3.5m. As a result, rigging and double-decker structures are not permitted in this area. If you are unsure about the height restriction for your stand, please contact the events team at charlotta.fargardo@sbcgaming.com.
SBC Summit will be open to general attendees from Tuesday 16th until Thursday 18th September 2025.

Uneven Flooring
Due to the irregularity of the flooring, caused by cobbled flooring throughout this outdoor area, it is strongly advised that exhibitors use a platform or raised floor for their stands (with a flexible wood base). Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring that their stand is securely constructed and does not pose a trip hazard or risk of instability.

Tent
An open sided tent will cover the space between Halls 2 and 3, with dimensions of 25m x 90m (height varies depending on location). Please note that the sides of the tent are approximately 2.5m high due to the supporting struts.
The back walls of your stand, if located under the tent's struts, are subject to a height restriction of 2.5m. Beyond the struts, the height allowance increases. The maximum permitted height for stands is 3.5m, provided there is a 0.5m clearance between the top of the stand structure and the roof of the tent.
