Entry to Southern Electronics and Southern Manufacturing is free, with easy road access via junctions 11 or 13 of the M25, free parking and frequent courtesy coach transfers from Staines railway station.
Visitor preregistration for the event and seminars, along with information on the "Meet the buyer" scheme (from November), is available online.
