For iGB L!VE 2026, we have a staggered Build access plan. This means that each exhibitor is assigned a different date and time that their stand can start to be built. The details of this, can be found via the exhibitor manual. If you havent confirmed your stand yet please contact our team at iGBlive.support@worldgamingbusiness.com we will be able to give you an indication of how much time you may have available to build
Below is the Show Open timings and Breakdown Timings
Whilst late working is discouraged; in the event you do need additional time due to unforeseen circumstances, you must seek approval from the organiser and additional charges will be incurred. This must be booked and paid for via the Organiser Office onsite by 14:00 each day. Please note Exhibitor Services (e.g., rigging and electrics) will not be available after 20:00. Booking Late Working prior to the show days will not be possible.
Traffic Slots Notice: The hours published are an indication of when you will be allowed to start building from. It DOES NOT mean that traffic slots to bring your trucks in will be available to you for this time, this will strictly be on a first come first basis.

Early access and late working
The hours published in the exhibtor manual is the maximum time available to construct your stand. We do not promote long working days - it is your responsibility to ensure your project is suitably staffed and safe working practices are followed
There is NO option to access the venue earlier. Late working past 20:00hrs is strongly discouraged and incurs additional charges. All requests need to come to our Organisers office (between entrance S3 and S4) on the day of build by 12pm GMT.
Please note exhibitor services (e.g. rigging and electrics) will not be available during these hours
Payment will be taken onsite.
For more information or if you would like to request late working, please email the Customer Success team.
Security Advice
Immediately after the show is the most common time for loss and theft to occur. We highly recommend that valuables, particularly of a portable nature are not left unattended at any time on your stand at any point during the show e.g. laptops, mobile phones, handbags.
Please ensure that you have not left anything inside/ on the rental furniture. Contractors collect hired items very quickly at the end of the exhibition.
