Alivex, a one-day exhibition which uses hotel rooms as exhibition stands, has been postponed. The unique event was scheduled for 26 January 2021 but has to be pushed back on account of the national lockdown.
However, organisers at Mash Media are keen to stress that the event will demonstrate the same agility as the events industry and will run as soon as it is legally allowed with short notice turnaround, as little as two weeks.
London will need to enter Tier 2 to make the not-for-profit event permissible, which allows for up to 1,000 people to gather at business events in a Covid-secure environment.
As we finally reach the Christmas and New Year break, the One Industry One Voice Taskforce thought that it would be good to share a message with the UK events industry about what we’ve been focussing on over the last few months. Covid-19 has had a catastrophic impact on our industry so we know that the need for continued solidarity, collaboration and mutual support over the next few months will be critical.
Taking a step back to reflect on what we collectively have managed to achieve to date will benefit from re-stating the core objectives for One Industry One Voice, the coalition of events industry campaigns, associations and businesses that have come together to ensure strong alignment and more effective communication in fighting for awareness and financial support for the whole industry. Those objectives include:

Ruth Carter: Thinking and planning - how organisers are approaching 2021
Ruth Carter, the new guest editor of EW s sister publication Exhibition News, talks to 10 renowned exhibition organisers on their thought processes and plans for 2021.
When I started on my guest editor role at
EN, the advice given to me by Martin Fullard, Mash Media’s editorial director, was to write about what I thought the exhibition industry wanted to know and for this precise moment in time, that is easy (that, and don t use exclamation marks!). I want to know what is in the heads of the ‘great and the good’ in our industry when it comes to lessons learned from 2020 and plans for 2021 to see if I can use that advice in my own business. Innovation is good, but plagiarism is quicker.
