International Confex may have been delayed due to new government regulations, but there is still an appetite for the live event format and discovering what the ‘new-normal’ will be for the events industry.

We spoke to two members of the International Confex advisory board to discover how the event will shape up come 1 September 2021. The two members are: Miriam Sigler, director, Ways and Means Events; and Emma Barr, events and training advisor, The Royal College of Midwives (RCM).

Back to reality

As the events industry returns to a live in-person format, the sector looks to International Confex, which is bringing events professionals together on 1-2 September at ExCeL London.

In the lead up to the show I spoke to Jessica Ansell, marketing director, Informa; and Heather Lishman, association director, ABPCO. The pair discussed the move back to an in-person event and what the key themes would be at this year’s show.
