Why have we been charged 20% VAT (when event is in London and client is in EU)?
We can confirm that we have correctly charged UK VAT because the place of supply of our service is where the land is located which is the UK. This is because HM Revenue & Customs, the UK Tax Authorities, treat the supply of a stand at an exhibition where the space is allocated in advance as a supply in relation to immovable property.
The place of supply is therefore determined by Article 47 of Directive 2006/112/EC. This is an exception to the general rule in Article 44 of Directive 2006/112/EC which states that the place of supply of a service to a business customer is where the customer is established.
Please note that the treatment in the UK is unaffected by the changes on 1 January 2011 to Article 53 of Directive 2006/112/EC as the UK Tax Authorities do not consider that stand rental falls within Article 53.
VAT is also charged on the Documentation Portal for all UK customers and those EU customers not supplying a registration number for their own country.
We have attached a link to the HMRC website which confirms this treatment; the relevant section is entitled Owners, Promoters and Sponsors: VATPOSS08700
SAE MEdia GroupLimited - VAT No - GB 976295171
Why have we been charged VAT on our booking?
The VAT Directive 2006/112/EC determines the application of VAT around the EU and has specific rules for the place of supply of services. The General Rule is that services are supplied where the customer is established but there are exceptions to the General Rule for a number of services including admission to an event. This is detailed in Article 53 of the Directive. For more information please click here.
VAT on Streaming
VAT charged will depend on where the event is viewed. SAE Media Group will assume this is the same address as provided unless otherwise informed.
- UK viewers - UK VAT at the Current Rate
- EU Viewers - NO VAT provided The customer VAT number is provided
- NON-EU - NO VAT as the place of supply will be outside the EU
Why do I need to provide a VAT number?
A VAT number needs to be supplied from all EU customers

We will provide you with a Guest Pass/Credit note letter that will state the original payment amount to be allocated to the new event, once you have confirmed to us your choice. (Please do not process a new order online or with our sales team, but contact the accounts team directly at accounts@saemediagroup.com attaching a copy of the letter) Should the new conference be at a higher cost, a balancing invoice will be sent to you. |

Speaker Related Questions
What format should my presentations be in?

When do you need my presentation by?
Please send your presentation to your nominated events executive 2 weeks prior to the conference
Will my presentation be recorded?
Unless informed beforehand your presentation will not be recorded.
Can I bring an assistant to the event?
Please get in touch with your nominated events executive who will be able to help you with this.
What if I can no longer present at the event?
If you are unable to attend the event on the given date and time, however would still like to present, SAE Media Group offer a few different methods of accomplishing this goal.
- Remote Presentations
- We currently use CISCO WebEx to conduct remote presentations, where the audience will be able to hear you and see your slides, you will be in control of this
- The stream is live both ways, and as such you will still be able to interact with your audience and answer any questions.
- Webinars
- If you wish to conduct a post or pre conference webinar to interested parties, this too can be facilitated. We encourage our speakers to do interactive content as this expands the learning engagement facilitated at conferences, and takes away some of the boundaries of time and location.
- Pre-recorded Presentations
- In the event that you are unable to speak for your whole session on the day we are able to pre-record your speaking slot and play it to the audience on the day, in past scenarios such as this, the speaker has been able to attend remotely to answer any questions, the audience will not really feel the difference as questions are usually raised only at the end of a speaking slot.
- Featuring your presentation as special content on our document portal
- We can still make content available on the document portal as special bonus materials if you are unable to speak on the day, this content can take the form of presentations, or other documents / audio / video that you would wish to share with the attendees of the conference.
Please contact it@saemediagroup.com for further information on how and what you will need in order for you to take advantage of the above opportunities. In all remote presentation / webinar scenarios you will need to have access to a stable internet connection, a stable computer, and preferably a headset.
Due to bandwidth at venues we do not encourage the use of webcams to stream a live video feed of yourself to the audience, as priority is given to the clarity of the audio. In the event that you only have access to a telephone and not a PC head set, do not worry, although it is preferred to use VoIP, we are able to patch in telephone lines too.
What do I need to do as chairperson?
You have a vital role in making the conference a success. You will need to ensure the conference runs to time. Introduce each speaker before their presentation and mediate the question and answer sessions after their presentation.

We outline the benefits of attending and summarise who has attended previously on the relevant conference event page. This will provide you with a good insight into our attendee profile. SAE Media Group events are attended by director and senior management in business and government.
How many attendees will I be presenting to?
SAE Media Group conferences vary in size from 50-400 attendees. Please contact the nominated event executive who will be able to provide you with more details closer to the event. Workshops and masterclasses have between 5-30 attendees.
Spaces are limited on these events as they are more intimate and involve training.
I would like to speak at a conference or run a workshop/masterclass, who do I contact?
Please email: production@saemediagroup.com
Why can’t I access the delegate list? Why don’t you distribute copies?
We do not provide attendee lists before the date of the conference. All delegate lists are displayed at each event on a notice board.
Do I get preferential rates at the hotel?
SAE Media Group can book your accommodation for you. SAE Media Group will ensure that you get the right accommodation at the right price whatever your budget. SAE Media Group rates are guaranteed to be lower than those published on the hotel website or any other online booking website. Remember London hotels book up very fast so please do not delay completing the booking form. Booking early ensures that you get your first choice hotel.
Will access to the rest of the conference be free?
As a valued speaker you get free attendance to the conference. In some cases we can also allow you to attend the workshop free of charge.

Document Portal-related questions
What conference materials will be made available on the day?
On the day of the conference, you will receive a documentation pack with the updated agenda, venue information and the speaker biographies, as well as sheets for your notes. Speaker presentations are available on the documentation portal.
The presentations will be viewable on the portal on the second day of the conference after lunch. To access the documentation portal you will be emailed a password and a link to the website.
In very rare cases, speakers will not allow us to put their presentations on the portal or will give permission for their presentations to be distributed in hardcopy at the conference.
What is the documentation portal?
The documentation portal is a website that contains the speaker’s slides and presentations for each conference.
When will the presentations be ready to download?
You will receive an email on the second day of the conference which will include a URL, username and password that will direct you to the SAE Media Group documentation portal.
The portal contains all the presentations and profiles provided to us by the speakers. This is available to you for 60 days after the conference has taken place.
I attended an event and / or purchased online document portal access but do not have my online document portal login details. How do I get these?
If you attend an event, the login details will be emailed to you on the afternoon of the last day. If you have purchased online document portal access, the details will be sent to you shortly after the order has been fully processed
If you have not received these details please contact itsupport@saemediagroup.com with your support reference number.
I have accessed the document portal and can access most of the presentations but some are not available. Why is this?
All of the presentations and speaker biographies that are available for access are on the website shortly after the last day of the event. There can be times when speakers request that their presentations and / or biographies are not made available. Unfortunately, we cannot distribute these against their wishes.
How long can I access the document portal?
If you attend an event, you will have 60-days free access to the documentation. Documentation can be downloaded from the website. After this period, you would need to purchase the documentation.
