Things you need to know if you are attending the BIG Apprentice Meet Up 2

04/07/2023

We can’t wait to see you on Friday 7th July! Below is some important information about the event for you to know before you get here. 

Please ensure you arrive with your ticket and QR code either printed or on your phone to be scanned upon arrival.  Anyone who arrives without a ticket won’t be permitted to enter, unless you have been added to our waiting list – in which case we will have your name on a list at reception. 

The entrance point for this event is 71 Basinghall Street and the event will begin in the Livery Hall, Guildhall (guildhall-map)  Doors open at 1pm and the event will start promptly at 2pm.  Please arrive in good time as you may not be permitted entry once the development session is underway. 

  • Please give yourself enough time to find us and pass through security.  Also, do ensure you do not have any of the ‘typical’ prohibited items on your person or in your bags (think about it like you’re going through the airport, or to a sporting/music event). 
  • Please bring your own notepads, if you wish to take notes during the 2-4pm development session.  This session will be followed by a networking session from 4pm to 7pm, in the Crypts.   
  • Please bring a form of ID with you.  If you are intending on consuming alcohol during the networking reception, we’ll just need to check you’re old enough to do so! 
  • Filming and photography will be taking place.   If you wish to not be captured in any video or photography please let a member of the Events Team know. 
  • We are so excited to see you on Friday, and we hope you have an amazing afternoon with us. If you would like to sign up to the Association of Apprentices to see who else is coming on Friday please visit www.associationofapprentices.org.uk 
  • Please do let us know if you are now unable to attend, as this will provide an opportunity for those on the waiting list to attend in your place. 


Don’t forget to share your photos on social media using the #TheBIGApprenticeMeetUp2 

And lastly, enjoy yourself!
