Reed Exhibitions has announced that International Jewellery London, scheduled to take place at Alexandra Palace, London, from 13 to 15 September 2020 will be cancelled due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Following UK government guidelines and comprehensive discussions with its customers, public health authorities and partner organisations, Reed Exhibitions is prioritising the health and safety of its exhibitors, visitors, partners and staff. 

In a statement, Reed Exhibitions said: "After careful consideration, we feel it is in everyone’s best interests not to go ahead with this year’s event and wanted to give everyone involved as much notice as possible. IJL has 65 years of heritage that we look to protect and maintain during this unprecedented time.

"For now, and as we recognise the challenging time our industry has to face, both personally and professionally, we will continue to collaborate with exhibitors and visitors to support the global jewellery industry during this difficult period. We are working out these details now and will inform our community at the relevant and appropriate time."
