Despite the UK Government’s decision to retain the temporary Nightingale Hospitals in case of a spike in the pandemic, the ExCeL centre in London, home to the EAG expo in January, is going ahead with its plans to restart events.
They include planning for the EAG with the manager of the show, Karen Cooke of Swan Events.
In a statement released by ExCeL, the venue’s management, said that events and conferences can restart from October 1.
Jeremy Rees, CEO at ExCeL, said: “Having played a full role in supporting the NHS, providing all of our facilities for the Nightingale Hospital, we are now looking forward to playing an equally active role in the nation’s economic recovery. The vast majority of the venue (90 per cent) has been restored to its original state, with the remaining space secured as equipment storage for NHS Nightingale. This ongoing support will not impact the normal operation of our venue and we look forward to hosting safe, secure, and successful business events and conferences from October 1 onwards.”
