As the future of event space and trade shows in a post-COVID-19 world remains uncertain, Informa, the multinational publishing, business intelligence and exhibitions group based in Britain, is making safety a top priority.
Running events “with confidence” is its approach, which led to Informa AllSecure, an industry standard for its businesses that includes 10 key biosafety commitments for its events, that range from enhanced cleaning processes, non-contact registration, the potential use of face masks, and, of course, social distancing.
For its business in the U.S., its largest market, Informa’s summer events were rescheduled, canceled or switched to fully virtual. But luckily for Informa, its subscription business is an anchor that continued “to perform resiliently against a tough market backdrop,” according to Stephen A. Carter, group chief executive officer of Informa PLC.
For its events businesses, “in the absence of physical exhibitions, events and conferences, we are working closely with customers to provide alternative digital services, with a focus on long-term relationships ahead of short-term revenue.”
Carter said despite “continued near-term unpredictability, our strengthened balance sheet, continuing cost controls and strong liquidity is enabling us to focus on the other side of COVID-19. This includes how to get the most out of “Return and Recovery” in 2021 and identifying and evaluating future strategic opportunities.”
