Events to restart

UK Events to restart in the UK from 1st October 2020

 

We received the positive news on Friday 17th July 2020 the Events industry has been waiting for.

Government has given a proposed restart date of 1st October 2020 (subject to successful pilots & continued progress) for live in-person UK events to go ahead. Conferences, tradeshows, exhibitions, roundtables and other events can restart, following new guidelines and safe practices.

So many people have worked incredibly hard to get the ‘go ahead’ date for events to restart. The collaboration across organisers, suppliers, associations, media and many more has been wonderful. So much sharing, liking, posting and highlighting across social media platforms. In an incredibly difficult period the events industry has collectively shown how collaboration, positivity, resilience and determination (backed up with hard facts and a tonne of hard work!) can make things happen!

I hope the industry continues to work together and support one another moving forward, it has been great to see so many event related businesses & people come together.

So to all the people who have worked incredibly hard to highlight the importance of events to the economy to our Government – well done and thank you!
