The Facilities Event and all co-located exhibitions, which were due to take place in September, have been rescheduled for 27th – 28th April 2021. 

The following shows have been postponed: 

• The Emergency Services Show
• The Health & Safety Event
• The Security Event 
• The Fire Safety Event
• The Facilities Event

A statement issued by Nineteen Group, the company organising the exhibitions, said: “Our venue NEC, require authorisation from Government to open for shows, which at the time of writing this letter, they unfortunately still do not have. 

“This lack of Government authorisation, and guidance, means we cannot commit to September as we are prevented from having sufficient time to ratify exactly what, and how, we can work with the venue and partners to finalise what a Covid-secure event looks like.

“Ultimately, safety must come above all else. Given this continued uncertainty, we are left with no option other than to postpone allowing us to safely deliver our events.

“We are confident that this postponement is in the best interests of all and will give us the best opportunity to deliver top-quality content, a quality audience, and the best ROI for you.”

All exhibitor bookings will be rolled over to April.
