Following the postponement of ProLight & Sound in Frankfurt and Cabsat in Dubai, and the cancellation of DVB World in Berlin and the remaining Entech Roadshow dates in Melbourne and Brisbane, London’s Media Production & Technology Show is the latest casualty of concerns over the proliferation of Covid-19.
In a statement, the show organiser stated: ‘We have been carefully monitoring the Covid-19 situation in the UK and abroad, with the situation growing increasingly concerning, it is with a heavy heart, we have decided to postpone the event on the 13-14 May 2020 at London Olympia.
‘The health and wellbeing of our exhibitors, visitors and staff is our utmost priority and we feel this is the best course of action for all. This has not been an easy decision, as following the hard work from the team and all of the industry support we have received, this was going to be our biggest show yet. But now more than ever it is important that we support each other and navigate our way through these difficult times.
‘We are still deciding on the best way forward in terms of the event postponement, and we ask for your patience as we do so. The team are committed to weighing up all alternatives and we will come back to you as soon as we can on that.
‘Our disappointment in not delivering our May event will only spur us on further to make sure our next steps help drive your business forward and strengthen your relationship with us.’
