Q Q
Are there any talks or seminars taking place this year? A No, it was felt that with the uncertainty over COVID that it would not be sensible to organise close contact talks or seminars this year. Though undoubtedly, they will be a part of the show again in future years.
Could you explain the new booking system and why it has been introduced?
A When planning for the show it was felt that the most important thing to consider was the wellbeing and safety of the visitors.
Appointment systems have been successfully used in many schoolwear retail businesses since the outbreak of COVID and so we have introduced a similar system for the show. It means that visitors can book time in advance with the sales person or supplier that they want to see and know that they will be free and fully focused on them for the duration of the appointment. Once you have registered for the show and your registration has been approved, you will receive access to the show’s new appointment system.
