Optix conference postponed

Optix has set new conference dates for 23–25 November following the decision to postpone the event at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport because of coronavirus (Covid-19).

Event organiser Trevor Rowley explained that the decision was made as there is a duty of care to attendees, exhibitors and Optix team.

‘To potentially put people in harm’s way did not sit comfortably with me. Even if we had gone ahead, it’s very clear that this would not have been the high quality event we normally put on as the numbers would be down and the atmosphere not be upbeat in any way,’ he said.
