On September 23, 2020, due to the second wave of the epidemic, the 2020 Advanced Engineering Exhibition (Advanced Engineering) originally scheduled to be held at the NEC in Birmingham, UK from November 4 to 5 this year has been postponed to November 2021 3- 4th.
This decision of Easyfairs is a judgment made after consultation with the engineering and manufacturing industries. It was a decision made by the unpredictable and unpredictable effects of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on a global scale.
The British government stated that from October 1st, on-site events such as conferences and exhibitions will not be allowed. The exhibition was supposed to be held in Birmingham, but it was also postponed due to local blockade.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "We must admit that the spread of the virus is affecting us to reopen business meetings, exhibitions and major sports events, so we will not be able to host any group events from October 1st."
Easyfairs stated that it has decided to postpone the event until November 2021 in order to provide an environment where the community can confidently focus on business, networking and participation.
The Advanced Engineering Exhibition provides a way for the community to stay connected in the ever-increasing digital age, and has launched a series of free online seminars called "AE Talks".
These dedicated online panel discussions and keynote speeches address thought-provoking questions and related topics to help the engineering and manufacturing world continue to develop and develop new innovations.
Alison Willis, Department Director of the Advanced Engineering Exhibition, explained: “2020 is a very unusual year: the new crown pneumonia epidemic has changed the nature of this year’s events. Although the British government has approved commercial events from October 1 to July, This decision has now been suspended, taking into account the global situation, social distancing restrictions and exhibitors’ requirements, but we have made the extremely difficult decision to postpone this year’s edition to 2021."

We know that Advanced Engineering Expo 2021 will re-challenge all manufacturing Play a vital role in the new business contacts in the field, which will provide the UK’s supply chain community with the first opportunity for face-to-face communication after this difficult period, thus helping this key industry to make a difference for the manufacturing industry.
