The show organisers say their number one duty to the industry is to deliver a substantial and engaged audience. To ensure this, the event must first be demonstrably safe and secure, which means that the UK and worldwide vaccine programmes must be given enough time to have their maximum effect.

TCT 3Sixty is committed to safeguarding everyone’s health and wellbeing, as well as ensuring any investment in the show delivers a significant positive return. A September dateline offers a better route to achieving and exceeding these aims for everyone.

The organisers also anticipate that the locks on international travel will be lifted in time for the new dates enabling TCT 3Sixty’s important overseas exhibitors to take their place on the show floor and ensuring that the event remains a true reflection of the global nature of the industry.

The decision to reschedule the event has been made with support and input from stakeholders across the industry, including exhibitors, partners and relevant authorities.

TCT 3Sixty will be held at the NEC, Birmingham, and at the same time as Interplas as originally planned. It will also now run alongside Med-Tech Innovation Expo.
