We don’t make exhibitions ourselves – our role is to work with and support the people and organisations that do make them.
We are funded by Arts Council England as an Investment Principles Support Organisation (IPSO), which means we are part of a group of organisations who help National Portfolio Organisations, other organisations and individuals across the cultural sector, to embed ACE’s Investment Principles in their work and use our expertise and experience to support others to adopt them.
Our registered office is Unit A 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk IP28 7DE, but we don’t have a physical office or head office. The Exhibitions Group consulting team is a fully remote, part time team based all over the UK.Â
We have a range of resources that are accessible to non-members, and our events and training is generally open to non-members as well as members.
Everyone involved in exhibitions can join our member community.
Members benefit from reduced rates, early bird booking for Exhibitions Connect, and an enhanced portfolio of specialist resources.
We urge everyone who considers our work relevant to them to consider becoming a member. In the case of most membership types, by attending just 2-3 training events you’ve covered the cost of your annual membership in savings.
Go to Become a Member and you can join online.Â
You will only receive a membership number, which you can use online when booking training etc to take advantage of member discounts.
