2. Single Spot - 550 AED
This spot is suitable for vendors who require space for two rails alongside a table. Vendor must provide their own rails, table and chair provided by UMC. You are also permitted to expand your setup to include a maximum of three rails if you do not require a table.

Please note that ALL VENDORS must ensure that their display is kept tidy and free of clutter or packaging.

Please ensure you bring a tablecloth to cover your table and ensure a professional appearance.
What is provided by UMC at each venue?
At most venues a table for you to display your items will be provided and one chair per booking.
Rails are not provided by UMC for any vendors at any events, rails or any additional display items must be provided by the vendor themselves.
Occasionally we cannot provide tables/chairs for vendors. If this is the case it will be clearly mentioned on the booking page and vendors will be informed in advance if they need to bring their own table / chair should that be the case.
Please check each listing when booking for specific details as equipment provided by us will be mentioned.
