The London Vet Show postponed to 2021
)
(LONDON, 8th September 2020) CloserStill Media, organisers of the largest international veterinary event portfolio, have today announced the postponement of the London Vet Show due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. The event will now run 11-12 November 2021 at the ExCeL Center, London.
The London Vet Show is Europe’s largest, dedicated two-day veterinary conference and exhibition. The decision to postpone was made following several discussions with industry stakeholders, including partners, and considering the significant impact of both international and domestic travel.
“COVID-19 has brought enormous pressures and uncertainty to the veterinary sector - both personally and professionally.” Said Rob Chapman, MD of CloserStill’s veterinary portfolio, “Although the UK Government gave the green light for exhibitions and meetings to start again in October, after examining at the overall market and consultation with our partners, we feel the decision to postpone is in the best interest of the veterinary community.
“Although this news may be disappointing to those looking forward to the London Vet Show, unfortunately the coronavirus situation is continually developing. We want to be as clear and upfront as possible with our community and customers, and after careful consideration, our decision to reschedule was out of caution. As event organisers, the health and safety of our exhibitors, delegates, speakers, staff and supporters, is our number one priority.” Said Chapman.
The London Vet Show team want to thank their delegates, exhibitors, speakers and partners for their ongoing support during this time. Chapman went on, “Obviously the postponement decision hasn’t been easy but we firmly believe it’s the right thing to do. We are so fortunate to have support of great partners like the Royal Veterinary College and the British Veterinary Association, along with the exhibitors, speakers and delegates we’ve spoken to so far; everyone has been really understanding. We can’t wait to see you all again virtually soon, and in person in 2021”
