THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON
EXHIBITIONS AND
CONFERENCES
Covid-19 has had a profound impact on the way we
do business and interact personally. Numerous
exhibitions and conferences throughout 2020 were
cancelled or postponed as result of countries around
the world going in to ‘lock down’.
The paramount consideration of Medilink UK in
relation to our overseas events programme has
always been the safety and security of our clients and
employees. In that regard Medilink has pushed and
supported the cancellation and postponement of a
large number of events around the world.
After careful and extensive consideration, the
decision was made to support the Medica 2020 and
Arab Health 2021 exhibitions. These projects have
been exceptionally popular in terms of bookings
throughout the year as companies look forward to a
return to some form of ‘business as usual’.
Medilink will continue to constantly evaluate these
events but for now we look forward to welcoming back
both old and new clients to the two most prominent
life sciences exhibitions in the world.
MEDILINK APPOINTED DIT
NORTHERN POWERHOUSE
STRATEGIC SECTOR LEAD
Medilink North of England’s
International Director, Tom
Elliott, has been appointed to
the role of DIT Healthcare and
Life Sciences Specialist for the
Northern Powerhouse, working
with and on behalf of Healthcare,
Life Science, Biotechnology and
Pharmaceutical businesses.
The role will help shape the development and provide
delivery for a strategic sector plan, engaging key
companies across the North of England, developing
commercial relationships for the region with overseas
agencies, governments and wider stakeholders.
The role will link into existing DIT networks, sector
and regional specialists to provide a greater link
across the Northern region, after life sciences being
identified as one of the key sectors in which the
Northern Powerhouse excels, and is part of the UK
Government’s ‘levelling up’ agenda.
Tom said, “This new role for Medilink will mean that
we can support the sector even further alongside
DIT across the Northern Powerhouse, something
which will be important in recovering and driving the
economy, post Covid-19 and beyond.”
