The theatre will be situated on the show floor and will provide visitors with useful pieces of information to help create an easier working life for a demanding role. Topics covered over the three days include:
- Tuesday 9th May - Managing the Workplace.

Norwich Union Risk Services - Information Theatre:
The Norwich Union Risk Services sponsored Information Theatre aims to provide inspiration, education and innovation.
