UNITED KINGDOM - The W Exhibition & Elements organizers have announced new dates for the event, which will return to the National Exhibition Center (NEC), Birmingham from 6 - 9 February 2022.

The postponement of the UK’s flagship event for the furniture manufacturing and joinery industries follows a period of unprecedented uncertainty due to the ongoing global impact of COVID-19.

Organizers have taken proactive steps to move The W Exhibition from September 2021 to February 2022, creating a safer timeline for the industry to work towards.

The W Exhibition Managing Director, Nickie West said: “We have been in constant contact with the NEC throughout the pandemic to ensure that we deliver a safe and successful event when The W Exhibition returns. It’s our priority to deliver the best possible ROI for our exhibitors, and the best experience for our visitors.

When LIGNA announced that it would be postponing its May event to September, and in fact directly clashing with The W Exhibition, we immediately entered a consultation process with each of our stakeholders to develop a new timeline that would preserve the success of the show both now and in the future. The new Winter 2022 timeline will allow us to do this.”
