Exhibitors and retailers will be out in force at this year's Conservative party spring conference in Brighton.
20 companies, charities and retailers will be represented at the Hilton Metropole.
Among them are bookmakers Ladbrokes, sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust, the Austin Reed group and booksellers Blackwell.
Retailers such as A Suit That Fits and Marks & Spencer proved a big hit with delegates at last autumn's Tory conference, where there was a retail mall for the first time.
There will be 16 fringe meetings at this year's spring conference, from February 27 and 28.
The Bow Group is holding a fringe on whether a hung parliament will bring triumph or disaster; Save The Children will be asking what next for Afghanistan; MEND Central will hold a meeting about child obesity; ConHome will be hosting an election countdown party and the Tory Reform Group will be discussing the constitution.
On Friday night there will be a quiz on the pier, hosted by actor Christopher Biggins and party chairman Eric Pickles.
Pickles will also be the host for the annual spring forum dinner on Saturday evening.
The highlight of the conference will be a speech by Tory leader David Cameron on Sunday afternoon.
It will be his final face-to-face address to party faithful before the general election, which must be held by June 5.
The Labour party is not holding a spring conference, while the Lib Dems will be in Birmingham next month.
