April 17, 2020

Datateam Business Media has postponed The Vendies 2020, which was scheduled for Wednesday, June 3, based on guidance from the World Health Organization and the U.K. government, according to a press release.

"While the entire Vendies team was looking forward to hosting this incredible industry celebration, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the upcoming event as the safety and well-being of our attendees, staff and their communities is our number one priority," Hannah Dedman, event director, said in the press release.

As a result of this postponement, the entry deadline will be extended indefinitely to enable more companies to get involved, and a revised schedule for the decision-making process will be announced in due course.

Tickets that have been purchased for the original date will be honored for the rescheduled date and sponsors will continue to receive coverage via all of the relevant channels for the time being.

Entries can be submitted using the fuss-free online form available on The Vendies website, making it quick and easy to put yourself in the running, and as always it is completely free of charge to enter.

Sponsors include 365 Retail Markets, Barry Callebaut, Coffetek, Mondelez International, SB Software, Abbeychart, Tower Leasing and Worldline.
