New venue for BCF Conference and Awards 2021

New venue for BCF Conference and Awards 2021 Sponsored by:

Lead sponsor

Due to the high demand of our BCF Annual Conference and Awards dinner and accommodation packages, we have had to source an alternative venue that allows us the flexibility to ensure all members and award entry finalists can attend. We are pleased to say we have secured The International Suite at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel as our new venue.

We will follow the Government’s latest guidelines at the time to ensure the event is as safe as possible for all attendees. Members will be asked to give a written declaration confirming people in their booking have received both doses of the vaccine at least 3 weeks before the event, or for attendees to have had a negative lateral flow test within 48 hours of the event.

Conference and Awards dinner package tickets (package 3) are still available. Tickets for the Awards dinner only (package 4) will be sold exclusively to companies that have been shortlisted for an award. To book, please visit: www.coatings.org.uk/ conference2021 Keynote speakers:
