Brandora Editorial Staff - October 2021
BLE announces new international testing partnership and reiterates health and safety measures including new mask requirement
Brand Licensing Europe has partnered with ExpressTest by Cignpost to facilitate all testing requirements for international attendees. This partnership is just one part of an extremely comprehensive health and safety plan in place for the event.
Testing Available for International Travellers
Anyone needing to take a Day 2 test to enter England will be able to purchase a ‘click and collect’ testing kit to be picked up at ExCeL. The tests can be self-administered in any location with results uploaded online.
Those requiring a ‘Fit to Fly’ test for re-entry into their country of origin will also be able to benefit from an onsite service with tests carried out by Cignpost staff in secure private meeting rooms at the venue.
The test booking service will open during the first week of November.
Health and Safety Measures Update
In addition to requiring proof of vaccination, negative test or natural immunity to enter ExCeL, the wearing of a face mask is now required for all attendees.
Medical exemptions will apply, as well as allowing for the removal of masks when eating and drinking. The BLE team is also asking attendees to be respectful of each other during business meetings and wear a mask if their meeting partner requests it.
