Yes, you will receive a QR code for each day of the event.
Guests can add their QR codes to their Apple/Google wallets on their smartphones for ease of use.
What if I have not received my QR codes via email?
- Please check your inbox for the sender 22 Bishopsgate (notify@22Bishopsgate.com) and the subject title “Your Appointment at 22 Bishopsgate”
- Please check your spam folders also.
- If you still cannot locate your emails, there may be a firewall issue at play. In this case, you can simply give your full name and show a photographic ID to the security team where the security team will then grant access.
If I am not registered for the event and want to turn up on the day, what happens?
22 Bishopsgate’s security team on the ground floor will assist by contacting Informa Tech. Informa Tech will require the full name of the person and the company name to check if they are registered/can be allowed access to the event. If approved, the venue will add the guest to the building access system. Once added, the security team will need to refresh their system whereby they will then see the guest’s name and the security team will grant access to the guest. The guest may be asked to show photographic ID.
