Service providers charge policy change 2025

FAQ's


General Questions

I’ve attended Source Fashion before for free. Why do I have to pay now?

We’ve updated our visitor registration policy to ensure the show remains focused on our core sourcing and buying community. While buying and sourcing professionals and students can still attend for free, service providers now have an attendance fee of £495.

Who qualifies as a service provider?

Service providers include businesses or individuals offering B2B service such as consultancy, logistics, technology solutions, and other non-product-based services to the fashion industry. Essentially people who are not coming to the show to directly buy and source products from our exhibitors.

I’m not sure if I’m a service provider. How do I find out?

If your business provides services rather than physical fashion products, it’s likely fall under the service provider category. If you’re unsure, we recommend speaking with a team member for clarification or emailing info@source-fashion.com

Fee & Payment Questions

Why is the service provider fee £495?

This fee helps maintain the integrity of our event as a sourcing-focused trade show and ensures that our exhibitors and buyers connect with relevant industry professionals.

Can I pay on-site?

Yes, you can register and pay the service provider fee at the venue. However, we recommend registering in advance to streamline entry.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds once registration is complete.

Are there any discounts or exceptions to the service provider fee?

At this time, all service providers must pay the full £495 fee to attend.

Fashion Industry & Student Entry Questions

I work in fashion but I’m not a buyer. Do I need to pay?

No, as long as your role is within the fashion industry (e.g., designer, brand, retailer, educator, or student), your entry remains free.

I’m a fashion student. Do I need to register in advance?

Yes, all attendees must register, but students can attend free of charge with valid educational ID.

I own a small fashion brand and do some consulting work. Do I need to pay?

If your primary business is fashion-based (such as running a brand or designing products) and you are coming to buy or source items, your entry is free. However, if your primary role is consulting or providing services to other businesses, the service provider fee applies.

On-Site Support Questions

Where can I get more information about the policy?

You can visit our website source-fashion.com or speak with a team member at the registration desk.

I have a meeting scheduled with an exhibitor. Do I still need to pay?

Yes, unless you qualify for free entry as a fashion industry professional. Service providers must pay the registration fee regardless of meeting schedules.
