Safety & Health Expo
Safety & Health Expo rescheduled to 12–14 July 2021 at ExCeL London
Informa Markets, in consultation with its exhibitors and event partners, has made the difficult decision to reschedule Safety & Health Expo and its co-located shows.
This postponement and rescheduling covers the following events:
- Safety & Health Expo;
- Workplace Wellbeing Show;
- Facilities Show;
- FIREX International;
- Intelligent Building Europe;
- IFSEC International;
- Counter Terror Expo, Forensics Europe Expo and World Counter Terror Congress (Organised by Clarion Events).
Originally set to take place from 8–10 September 2020, the events are now scheduled for 12–14 July 2021 at ExCeL London.
Chris Edwards, Group Director for Safety & Health Expo and Workplace Wellbeing Show said: “We know how important our events are as a forum where our communities come together to learn, network and meet suppliers. We have a proud track record of hosting the largest gatherings of any event in our industry in the UK, and often beyond, and no one is more disappointed in this decision than us, but after much deliberation we are sure that this is absolutely the right thing to do in the circumstances.
“Our focus over the last three months has been on ensuring that we can provide a safe and secure environment for our visitors, exhibitors and staff and whilst we felt confident of achieving this we also have a duty to our customers to provide an event that matches the standards they expect of us. Additionally, as you know these events have strong international participation and this would be severely compromised given the current restrictions.
“After carefully considering the options and following discussions with exhibitors and event partners it became clear that postponement is the most sensible option.
“We welcomed many thousands of industry colleagues during our Digital Week in May and we continue to develop our online platforms to offer additional ways of connecting with the wider industry. We will continue to work with our customers to help them connect with audiences online using both our existing platforms and several new initiatives due to launch later this year.”
Chris Edwards added: “As each of our communities look to rebuild and recover in 2021 our team will also be working hard to ensure we return next year with an event that brings people back together for the reunion everyone will be crying out for. Details on how our events will continue to evolve and develop for next year will be forthcoming over the summer.”
