The Safe Return of the Business Events Sector in Wales 25 May 2021
Leading event industry professionals have called for a roadmap towards the safe return of the business events sector in Wales after a Pilot Event held at the Celtic Manor Resort exposed the unviability of present restrictions.
Under the guidance of Welsh Government, the
Pilot Event at Celtic Manor on 20
th May tested the risk mitigation measures proposed for the industry with a range of stringent health and safety measures in place.
Attendees were asked to carry out a COVID-19 lateral flow test on arrival, having already secured a negative PCR test in the days prior, three separate colour groups were assigned to manage delegate flow, and mask wearing was required when not seated for sessions.
I have been privileged to have been able to attend three events over the last month: two official Government pilots and one personal.
As you may recall, last month I attended the Good Business Festival at ACC Liverpool, Westminster’s only pilot business event (for England). I joined 500 delegates for a real-life event without masks or social distancing. The only stipulation was a PCR test before and after the event.
Indeed, there have been nine pilots and it has been reported that only 15 of 58,000 eventgoers have tested positive (some before, therefore didn’t go, and some after). That’s 0.03% percent.
