Your health and safety is our number one priority

We’re hugely excited about London Tech Week 2021, 20th - 24th September where will host a mix of virtual and face-to-face events. 

In-person events during London Tech Week

For our events that take physically, more than ever, the safety of our attendees is of paramount importance.  Attendees will be strongly advised to wear face masks throughout the event (when not eating or drinking) unless exempt for medical reasons.

Further Measures

Our parent company, Informa, has collaborated with government and local authorities, association and event partners, venues and contractors to develop industry-wide All Secure event guidelines, that raise the bar on safe, hygienic, productive and high-quality event experiences.

London Tech Week will operate according to these guidelines, as well as any and all safety measures recommended by the government, including:

  • Deep cleaning before, during, and after the event – working with venue partners to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness.
  • The absolute highest standard of food safety, minimising self-service buffets in favour of pre-packaged food options or serviced buffets. If any queuing is anticipated, physical distancing will be required.
  • Should it be necessary, we will work with local authorities to trace and contact participants at the event, subject to local privacy regulations.
  • Recommendation that delegates and participants avoid physical contact. The exchange of printed materials, such as business cards and sales brochures, is discouraged, with digital alternatives recommended.
  • Density of attendees at any one time during the live event will be in line with local authority regulations and venue guidance. This will be managed through control measures such as pre-show communications, a one-way system around show floors, expanded entry times and on-site physical distance ambassadors.
