Delivering Secure Event Accreditation at Olympia London Following Its £1.3 Billion Reopening

West London’s exhibition scene has just entered a new era — and Contact Media was proud to be one of the first event services providers to deliver onsite registration and accreditation at Olympia London following its landmark reopening.

A Landmark Moment for UK Exhibition Venues

After six years and a £1.3 billion redevelopment, Olympia London has reopened as one of the most significant exhibition and events destinations in the country. The historic West London venue — a fixture of the UK events calendar for over a century — has been transformed into a state-of-the-art exhibition, conference, and entertainment complex, repositioning it among the UK’s leading venues for large-scale events.

For event organisers, the reopening represents more than a facelift. It signals a new benchmark for what a UK exhibition venue can offer: modern infrastructure, expanded capacity, and a level of ambition few venues in the country can match. It’s the kind of transformation that only happens once in a generation — and one that’s already generating significant interest from corporate, exhibition, and conference organisers looking to secure the venue for future events.

An Early Trusted Supplier at a Landmark Venue

Being selected to deliver onsite event registration services at Olympia London so soon after its reopening is a significant milestone for Contact Media. High-profile venue launches come with heightened expectations — new spaces, new systems, and no room for operational missteps. Being trusted to manage attendee registration and accreditation at this stage reflects the confidence organisers and venue operators place in our ability to deliver reliably, even in a brand-new environment.

It also reinforces a track record we’re proud of: being one of the go-to event registration companies for high-profile, high-security, and high-visibility events across the UK — from political conferences to major exhibitions at the country’s most significant venues.

The Event

Contact Media was appointed to manage onsite registration and accreditation for an exhibition held at Olympia London shortly after its reopening. Our team worked closely with the organiser to ensure every attendee was checked in efficiently and securely, giving both exhibitors and visitors a smooth, professional first experience of the newly transformed venue.

Rather than overshadow the venue itself, our focus was on making sure the registration process ran quietly and efficiently in the background — exactly as it should.

The Services Behind a Seamless Check-In

Delivering registration at a newly reopened flagship venue meant getting the fundamentals right from the very first attendee through the door. Our services on the day included:

Onsite badge printing Fast, professional badge production at the point of check-in, with no pre-printed stock and no delays — badges were ready the moment each attendee was verified.

Event registration services A streamlined registration process designed to handle attendee flow efficiently, minimising wait times while maintaining full accuracy of attendee data.

Secure accreditation with photo ID verification Every attendee was checked against valid photo identification before being issued a credential, ensuring a secure, verified accreditation process appropriate for a high-profile venue launch.

Together, these services reflect the core of what we do: combining onsite badge printing, event registration, and secure accreditation into a single, reliable service for organisers who can’t afford disruption on the day.

Why This Matters for Event Organisers

For exhibition organisers, conference producers, and corporate event teams planning events at premium UK venues, this delivery demonstrates a few things worth knowing:

• We’re trusted at the UK’s most significant venues — including newly launched, highprofile spaces like Olympia London
• We deliver secure, verified accreditation — not just registration, but genuine identity verification and access control
• We scale to high-profile, high-visibility events — where a smooth check-in experience directly reflects on the organiser’s brand
• We combine speed with security — onsite badge printing and efficient registration, without cutting corners on ID verification

As more events return to Olympia London throughout its ongoing reopening phases, we’re looking forward to continuing to support organisers who choose the venue for their next exhibition, conference, or corporate event.
