NDT 2021 Conference and MT 2021 Exhibition rescheduled

"Given the current circumstances, we feel that the ongoing travel restrictions, particularly those in force overseas, will prevent us from ensuring the international support these events have always enjoyed," stated the Institute.

"In addition, as we emerge from lockdown, many organisations will be busy rebuilding their businesses and in consequence this will have an effect on visitor numbers. There is also some uncertainty as to when social distancing and face covering measures will be relaxed.

"In light of the above, BINDT has decided to postpone the NDT 2021 conference and MT 2021 exhibition, which were due to take place from Tuesday 7 to Thursday 9 September 2021."

The 59th Annual Conference of the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing will now take place from Tuesday 6 to Thursday 8 September 2022 at The International Centre, Telford, UK. The Materials Testing Exhibition (MT 2022) will run alongside the NDT conference and promises to be bigger and better than ever, with over 70 companies expected to exhibit.

Exhibitors and delegates who have booked to attend the NDT 2021 conference and MT 2021 exhibition are being offered the option to credit their attendance at next year's events. Alternatively, refunds are being offered and can be arranged by contacting Karen Cambridge directly ([email protected]).

BINDT regrets having to make this difficult decision, but at the present time feels it is in the best interests of all concerned.
