Meet the Artists

We have invited artists with works displayed in the art show to be at the art show in Hall 5 to talk to people about their work between 15:00 and 17:00 on Friday.

We cannot guarantee who will be there at any given time.

Food Trucks

More Food & Drink

We recommend the Deli & Bakery on the concourse. Open 09:00 to 17:00.

If you’re going further afield, Piccolo Mondo (at 344 Argyle St, towards the city centre) did a superb Italian meal and an amazing seafood grill.

Take the escalator from the SEC concourse and avoid the bag check to get into the Armadillo.

Be Aware!

The SEC is required by law to be very strict about room capacity and crowds that may impair everyone’s ability to exit in case of an emergency.

Meeting rooms and the exhibition halls will have SEC stewards at the entrances.  They will be in a uniform, with a white shirt and blue and red striped tie, with or without a blue jacket or cardigan.

Be Aware (2)

Please keep in mind the following:

•Standing in the back of a meeting room is not allowed unless a steward has given permission.

•If an event is labelled as being for those 18 or over, the steward may request proof of age if there is any question.  Even if accompanied by a parent, those under 18 will not be admitted.

•Do not linger in the doorway to see if a panel is interesting.  Please move into the room and find a seat.  The steward at the door will remind you to please take a seat. 

•If the steward says the room is full, please find another event to attend.

•If a steward asks you to move along, please do so promptly, as you may be creating a choke point in the traffic flow.

Be Aware (short version)

Don’t overcrowd the rooms.

Please cooperate with the SEC stewards if they ask you to move.

Be sensible.

Get there early as you can!
