APPG Evidence Session on London Events Sector
APPG for the Events Industry – Evidence Session on London Events Sector
Following the postponement of the last scheduled APPG Evidence Session, I am pleased to advise you that the new date is now confirmed as Monday 10th September, 15:15 – 17:00. The session is being hosted by James Heappey MP, Chair of the APPG.
The session hopes to hear evidence from Michael Ellis, the Tourism Minister, Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, Jeremy Rees, the Acting Chief Executive of ExCel London and others who might help us in our inquiry.
The evidence session will focus on three key areas:
• The provision of venue infrastructure across the capital including the potential loss of the QEII Conference Centre as a consequence of the decant from the Palace of Westminster.
• The uncertainties and opportunities Brexit have given the industry and how to move forward.
• London’s role in delivering high profile events as part of the UK’s export strategy and how we might greater harness the capital’s soft power in securing international events.
There are again a very limited number of places available, and therefore if you are able to attend, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will confirm all necessary details to you.
