Meanwhile, SPATEX Organiser Michele Bridle has reported that there is no need to worry if you have not yet viewed any or all of the 22 seminars organised by ISPE for this year’s SPATEX Virtual edition.

These seminars received an audience of 2,435 people over the three ‘live’ days of the online exhibition and, as with the exhibition booths, they can still be accessed in the Seminar Arena via the lobby area of the online platform, pictured, until the March 6 deadline. The beauty of this virtual format is the fact that you can take a break from tuition and then return to the seminars at any time day or night before the time runs out to gain the specialist product and training advice.

“The high amount of content that visitors downloaded, and the huge amount of interest shown in the seminar programme, are testimony to the value of the show,” declared Michele Bridle; “ It’s an added bonus that all this information is still accessible until March 6.

“Whilst we are proud to have created a high-quality virtual platform for our industry to connect at this time, there is no substitute for face-to-face business, so we are looking forward to the return of a live event at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry from February 1 to February3, 2022.”
