Visitor Venue Protect
Welcome back to the NEC! We’ve missed you and can’t wait to safely reconnect you with the events and experiences you love.
As the UK’s largest venue, we have all the space you need to meet up and enjoy your favourite events with total confidence in social distancing, venue sanitisation and test and trace.
In preparation for your return, we’ve reviewed and readjusted aspects of the event experience, developing our new Venue Protect 4-Step approach to lead the way in safety for meetings and events. Each step and new measure implemented has been thoroughly researched and tested - with your safety, well-being and experience in mind.
So now it’s time to reconnect with the people, events and experiences you enjoy so much – safely and with confidence, at the NEC.
