As live events slowly return in the UK, it is exciting to think that the industry will once again be able to meet in person in the coming months.
Our top priority is the safety of exhibitors, visitors and the operations team and measures are being put in place to achieve this. The revised show hall will have additional safety measures, such as 3m aisles throughout, a one-way system, separate entrances & exits, temperature tests, sanitation stations and more. The Ricoh will also have staged numerous events before we attend, therefore they will have expertise and experience to provide a safe environment for all.
To provide added confidence, we have decided that Merchandise World will change dates from January 2021, and will now take place on the 3rd and 4th March 2021. This extra time will allow confidence to grow and to observe the experience of other European trade events taking place in the months before.
Coronavirus Refund Guarantee
Also, to help our exhibitors to plan without risk, we have extended the following Coronavirus Refund Guarantee:
- 1. Any exhibitor who decides to cancel their booking for Merchandise World in March 2021 for any reason, before the end of December 2020 can receive a ‘no quibble full refund’.
- 2. Also, if the show is unable to go ahead, full refunds will naturally apply, even if we reschedule for a later date in 2021 – but our expectation and plan is for March to go ahead as the industry’s major UK event!
