PATS Telford (UK) cancelled
The pet industry’s leading trade show, PATS Telford (UK), has been cancelled after a Government announcement on the reopening of conferences and events.
The show was due to be held on September 27-28 at the Telford International Centre but the Prime Minister announced on Friday that business events and conferences could not reopen until at least October 1.
“Obviously this means that PATS Telford can no longer go ahead,” said Gordon Thomas, director of Impact Exhibitions and Events.
“We had already decided, due to ongoing uncertainty over when venues would be allowed to reopen, that we would have to cancel.
“The longer the uncertainty went on, the less time we had to promote PATS Telford 2020 and deliver the audience and content that exhibitors and visitors expect from us. Additionally, the welfare and safety of our exhibitors, visitors and our team are significant considerations.”
PATS will now return next year, with PATS Sandown taking place on February 14-15 and PATS Telford on September 26-27, 2021.
