UK manufacturing and sourcing trade show Make it British
Live has been postponed to an unconfirmed future date, due
to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Live show was due to take place on March 17 and 18 at the
Business Design Centre in London, showcasing the best of British manufacturers
and producers of textiles, clothing and homeware, covering
the entire supply chain, from sewing factories to fabric mills, printers, and
machinery suppliers, as well as support and advice from those that manufacture
locally.
Organisers will now hope to stage a virtual expo towards the
end of May, which will include everything that the live event planned they said, including the conference, networking and workshops.
Show founder Kate Hills said during the virtual event each
exhibitor will have their own virtual booth with the use of a webcam that can be
attached to any computer. They will be bringing the fair to
visitors, allowing them to "visit” the show, meet the exhibitors, attend the
talks and network with other visitors.
“This virtual expo model, and the software platform that we
have chosen for it, has already proven to be successful for other large events
and we are confident that it will give visitors the platform that UK manufacturers
and British-made brands rightly deserve.”
All visitor tickets will automatically be transferred to the
virtual expo in May as well as being redeemable against tickets for a
re-scheduled live show.
