There have been many impacts arising from the onset of the Coronavirus, including the inability to hold physical events. Norfolk Chambers, like many others, had to immediately cancel our physical events and, wherever we could, we moved to virtual events.
With the lock down now starting to ease, we turned our attention to our flagship event, The B2B Exhibition, which was due to take place on 15 October 2020. Due to the continued uncertainty around Covid-19, we have had to make the difficult decision to postpone this year’s B2B.
As Norfolk’s leading business to business showcase, we want to enable as many businesses and attendees as possible to take part, but the safety of exhibitors and visitors is our number one priority, we have therefore rescheduled The B2B Exhibition for Thursday 18 March 2021.
Julie Schofield, Head of Business Partnerships of UEA who are long-term supporters of B2B said: “We are pleased that Norfolk Chambers of Commerce have made the decision to move their B2B exhibition to March 2021. As long-term supporters of the event, we believe this is the right decision in the current uncertain climate. B2B is a crucial event in the regional business calendar, and we look forward to being able to meet face to face and network safely.”
Tracey Taylor, General Manager of First Copy Corporation Ltd and FCC Innovation who has booked their B2B exhibition stand earlier this year said: “We were happy to hear that Norfolk Chambers of Commerce has made a proactive decision to move their outstanding show to a new date next year. Here at First Copy / FCC Innovation we take the safety of our staff and customers very seriously and while we love getting out to ‘real life’ events to meet others in the B2B community we know the show will be even better in the spring. In the meantime, we’re busy doing more virtually, from events to meetings, training and installations – business continues but in ways that keep everybody as safe as possible. Here’s to getting back on the road in 2021!”
The exhibition will be once again be held at the Royal Norfolk Showground. Anyone that had already confirmed their exhibition stand or sponsorship has automatically been transferred to the new date. We have also extended our early bird rates until Friday 27 November, so those who want to book a stand won’t miss out on some great exhibition rates. If you are interested in exhibiting or sponsoring this event, then please contact Kalene Herrington, Events Coordinator on 01603 729712 or email [email protected]
