In the really fast moving crisis that is COVID-19, we thought that it would be good to provide a short update to all our partners. We know that all of you are working really hard to support your members in these unprecedented times. Hopefully the latest blog that we posted yesterday captures the range of work being undertaken by partners and in turn how BVEP is assimilating the information and requests coming from the event industry and putting them directly to officials in key departments.

On 10th March 2020, Simon Hughes gave an interview for the BBC One Business Briefing about how the industry is responding to the challenges of COVID-19.
