Following last week’s confirmation that a UK General Election will take place on 4th July 2024, The Business of Events and The Meetings Show has elected to postpone the London Policy Forum until the Autumn. It had been due to take place on the 19th June 2024.
Martin Fullard, director of The Business of Events issued the following statement: “With the UK General Election catching most commentators by surprise, we have elected to postpone the London Policy Forum.
“The Business of Events exists to facilitate dialogue between industry stakeholders and policymakers, and since Parliament is dissolved, there are restrictions on what government officials can and cannot do.”
“With a new Parliament being due to sit on 17th July, this means we will be able to enjoy a more stable autumn period and look forward to working with The Meetings Show in bringing together industry stakeholders and what will be a new-look political landscape. We look forward to announcing new details surrounding the London Policy Forum in due course.”
Jack Marczewski, Portfolio Event Director at Northstar Travel Group, said: “The Meetings Show remains committed to supporting The Business of Events with its ongoing work to raise the importance and profile of business meetings and events as an economic, policy, and community driver. We look forward to helping to facilitate its London Policy Forum when it takes place in the autumn”.
