Press release -
Develop:Brighton 2021 Moves to October
Tuesday 2 February: Tandem Events has taken the decision to postpone Develop:Brighton 2021 from July until October due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Develop:Brighton will now take place 26 - 28 October with the Develop:Star Awards taking place on 27 October. Both events will take place at the Brighton Hilton Metropole as usual.
The conference and awards will follow the existing format - there will be a call for papers for all prospective speakers announced soon and entry submissions for the Develop:Star Awards will open in the Spring.
“We’re obviously disappointed to be making this decision but it wasn’t a difficult one given the continued uncertainty we’re all facing due to the pandemic. The health and wellbeing of everyone attending is paramount and by moving the event to October, it gives as many people as possible the chance to be vaccinated and will make the event a safer place for us all.” said Tandem Events managing director Andy Lane.
