New for 2026: The FUTURES trail

The FUTURES trail offers a bespoke experience for students, learners and apprentices, guiding them around the show to meet leading brands and discover real career opportunities.

Participants will receive a FUTURES Card, which can be stamped at participating exhibitor stands across the event. Completing the trail automatically enters them into a prize draw, with one lucky winner receiving a career-starter prize bundle to help them take their next step into the industry.
