Advanced Engineering Show postponed until next year

Advanced Engineering Show postponed until next year

Advanced Engineering 2019

Advanced Engineering 2020, which was due to take place from 4-5 November at the NEC, Birmingham, has been postponed until 3-4 November 2021.

This decision from Easyfairs has been made following consultation with the engineering and manufacturing industry and due to the ongoing unforeseeable and unprecedented global scope of the Coronavirus pandemic.

The UK government has said live events like conferences and exhibitions will not to run from 1st October. Birmingham, where the event was due to take place, is also under local lockdown.

Prime minister Boris Johnson said today: “We have to acknowledge that the spread of the virus is now affecting our ability to reopen business conferences, exhibitions and large sporting events so we will not be able to do this from 1st October.”

Easyfairs says it decided to postpone the event until November 2021 in order to deliver an environment in which the community can confidently focus on business, networking and engagement.

Providing a way for its community to stay in touch through these increasingly digital times, Advanced Engineering has also launched a series of free-to-attend webinars entitled ‘AE Talks’.

These dedicated online panel and keynote presentations tackle thought-provoking and relevant topics to help the engineering and manufacturing community continue to grow and develop new innovation.

Alison Willis, divisional director of Advanced Engineering, explained: “2020 has been a very unusual year: the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the nature of events for this year. Despite being given the green light by the UK Government to run business events from 1 October back in July, with this decision now suspended and considering the global situation, the social distancing restrictions and the requirements of our exhibitors, we have made the extremely difficult decision to have to postpone this year’s edition to 2021.”

“During this difficult and unprecedented time, I have been overwhelmed by the support that we have received from the industry for the event and its critical role in bringing the industry together again. We know that Advanced Engineering 2021 will play a vital role in reigniting new business connections across all manufacturing sectors by providing the UK’s supply chain community its first opportunity to meet face to face after this challenging period, aiding this pivotal industry in its undoubted contribution to the recovery of the UK economy as a whole. I would like to thank everyone for their resolute support and understanding and express our ongoing commitment to the many essential businesses in this sector.”
