Tracy Halliwell, director of conventions and major events, London Convention Bureau, said: “At the London Convention Bureau we have been inspired by the resilience, generosity and creativity of London’s events industry in their efforts to support the wider community at this difficult time. London has long been a truly dynamic city for meetings and events, and we are confident that this will continue as we move towards a path for recovery.”
Lorraine Thorne, head of commercial events, Somerset House, added: “Our virtual site visit tours provide access to our extensive venue spaces and we are pleased to be involved with PlanetIMEX to connect with event planners and showcase what Somerset House can offer for future events. We are also working hard to provide a new and extensive online cultural programme for our audiences.”
