New Dates Announced

We know that these are worrying times for everyone and we hope that you and those around you are all keeping well and staying safe. As you will be aware in line with the guidelines issued by the Government in March we made the decision to postpone our inaugural event, Fulmination 2020. Whilst this was hugely disappointing to our members, events team, and the industry as a whole it was necessary as part of the wider measures to limit the spread of COVID-19.

During the last few weeks, IExpE have been in negotiation with our event venue, De Vere Wokefield, and we are pleased to announce that new dates have now been secured for Fulmination 2021 which will take place from Tuesday 20th April – Thursday 22nd April 2021.
