Update 12 December 2008:
The exhibitor handbook for this event has been distributed to all confirmed participants.

Although the deadline for applications has now passed, expressions of interest to participate in this event are still welcome.

Please note that the dates of this event have been changed from 14 to 15 February 2009, to make it easier for people travelling from the February 2009 Education UK Exhibition in Nigeria.


Key details

Date Location Participation fee for Partnership members Participation fee for all other institutions Maximum number of participants
15 to 16 February 2009 Kampala, Uganda GBP 600 GBP 1,200 20

The participation fee includes:

  • venue hire
  • fascia board, table, four chairs, sockets
  • PR campaign: advertising on web, television, radio, street banners, flyers
  • market briefing, institutional / school / agent visits, stand assistants, refreshments, dinner on last day
  • local transport from hotel to exhibition venue.

Stand sharing is available at a premium of 20 per cent on the cost of participation.

Please note that the participation fee does not include international or domestic travel, accommodation, subsistence or freight, except where stated.

We dramatically reduced the exhibition costs for the February 2008 Education UK Fair in comparison to the 2007 Exhibition. The costs for this year's exhibition have increased due to increased table and chair hire costs and because we have had to pay for venue hire.

The participation fees stated above incorporate a 'credit crunch' contingency and are the maximum that participants will be charged. If this additional contingency is not called upon, participants will be invoiced for less than the maximum fee.
