Good day all,
Due to the heightened risk of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and all the threats that this poses, we feel that it is sadly in the best interest of our community, sponsors, exhibitors, supporters, speakers, visitors and our team to postponed the SHOWCASE Expo and Entertainment 2020 until the threat of the virus subsides.
We have spent much of the past few days talking to our community and sponsors, and hearing about concerns worldwide. Alongside our hundreds of visitors across the UK and beyond, we were thrilled this year to also be welcoming special guest artists (ADEKUNLE GOLD) from Nigerian and (NIKI TALL) Germany. The bitter-sweet nature of this also brought with it concerns of involuntary spread, worries about quarantine and flight cancellations.
Initially the polarity of responses was very tricky to handle as we did not want to upset or let anyone down. However, over the last couple of days, recent developments have meant that it is now clear the majority of our community want the SHOWCASE Expo and Entertainment, but this pandemic will constitute a potential health risk for the expo’s attendees (exhibitors, visitors, associates) and their families.
Taking all these into serious consideration and with a deep sense of responsibility, Dazzlin Pr, the SHOWCASE’s organising company, has decided to change its plan and postpone the SHOWCASE Expo and Entertainment until further notice as there is a strong possibility that further restrictions may be imposed and for how long.
We are grateful for your understanding and we would like to assure you that we will continue working hard on ensuring all necessary conditions for a successful exhibition.
Please continue to take any measures that you can to keep yourself and your family safe.
Best regards,
DAZZLIN PR team
