We start 2022 full of optimism, let’s put corona virus behind us and move forward without fear. Vaccinated, proof of vaccination, rapid lateral flow test, PCR testing, self isolation, good hygiene, etc, will continue to be with us for the foreseeable future. Ultimately herd immunity may well become normalized too.

Whilst politically many issues need to be addressed, (there always will be), isn’t it time to pull together and make a speedy recovery? For sure life post pandemic will never be the same again but surely now it’s time to face challenges head-on. Let’s be honest, for some it’s time to come clean, knuckle down and get on with the job or let someone else take up the reins. Creating the environment for better and healthier lifestyles for all is a priority. Party politics should be a thing of the past, otherwise there is no future.

When it comes to trade events keep an eye out for changes to show dates, we’ll do all we can to keep you informed. Likewise don’t be surprised to see a rise in the number of hyper events (Live & Digital), as both exhibition organiser and exhibitors make every effort to conclude business and bring stability back to fractured markets.

Working together should be our goal in 2022, let’s join forces and make it a year to remember!
