  PLANS FOR UK GAMES EXPO 2021
  The planned dates for UK Games Expo 2021 is 2nd to 4th June. These plans are for a physical show at the
  NEC and an exhibitor pack will be available from November 2020. Exhibitor enquiries can be directed to
  Richard Denning (see above). In the light of the current Covid Pandemic we reserve the right to modify or
  cancel the physical show. If this occurs an online alternative may be considered. A final decision on UK
  Games Expo 2021 is expected early in 2021.
