Hello there, it's Frank Doyle from Hilltop Coffee Roasters.

We're exhibiting at the Food and Drink Expo next week,

but I've somehow misplaced the exhibitor agenda.

When can we set up our stand, and how do we get our equipment in?

No problem at all. Stand set-up runs from two until eight on Monday.

All deliveries come through the loading bay on Windmill Street, right next to Hall B.

Brilliant. And buyers can just drop by our stand for meetings, can't they?

I'm afraid there's been a slight change this year.

All buyer meetings now have to be booked in advance through the exhibitor portal.

They'll take place in the Meeting Lounge on the first floor, rather than at the stands.

Bear in mind that bookings close this Friday at five.

Right, I'll sort that out today. Could you run me through Tuesday's programme?

Certainly. Tuesday's the opening day, so it's fairly packed.

Doors open to trade visitors at nine sharp.

At ten, Sarah Lin from Fenwick Stores gives the opening keynote,

and she'll be talking about how shopping habits are changing.

Then at two, there's a panel discussion on sustainable packaging.

And the day rounds off with a networking reception on the roof terrace at six thirty!

You'll be pleased to hear it's free for exhibitors.

Splendid. That's exactly what I needed, thanks!

Practice set two.

Rachel, it's Richard Hughes. I've just landed from Singapore.

Before tomorrow, I'd like to double-check the launch plan for the Pulse Two watch.

Where exactly is it being held, and when does the main presentation begin?

Welcome back, Richard! The launch is at the Glasshouse, just behind King's Cross Station.

There's a press preview at nine thirty, and the main presentation kicks off at eleven.

Our CEO, Daniel Reeves, will be giving it, followed by a live demonstration.

Excellent. And the watch goes on sale in shops the same day, doesn't it?

Not quite, I'm afraid. That part of the plan has been adjusted.

Online sales open at six that evening,

but it won't reach the shops until Saturday, two days later.

That way, pre-order customers receive their watches first.

That makes sense. Could you walk me through the rest of the day?

Of course. At twelve thirty, you're having lunch with our retail partners,

in the private dining room upstairs.

From two o'clock, tech journalists can try the watch in hands-on sessions.

At four, you and Daniel are both giving interviews to the business press.

And at six, online sales go live, so we'll celebrate with the whole team!

Perfect. You've thought of everything, Rachel. Thank you!
