Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, UFI announces that the UFI European Conference, which was due to take place from 3-5 June at the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre in Gothenburg, cannot take place as planned. The co-located Forum on HR which was due to take place from 2-3 June at the same venue has also been cancelled.
Although the European Conference will not take place this year, UFI will endeavour to facilitate meetings between members at various smaller events across Europe, once restrictions on travel and meetings have been lifted. Information and details of these meetings will be published in due course. The UFI HR Management Working Group is now also looking at ways to bring the material from the forum to the UFI membership; more details on this will follow.

In the meantime, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, UFI is supporting our global community and the industry at large in many ways. A list of resources is available at www.ufi.org/coronavirus – including an overview of government support programmes in around 60 countries around the world.
