There has been an official announcement of tube strikes due to be held on the day of the Spring DCME End User / Buyer / Specifier Networking Event. Following this announcement, DCME and Event Sponsors  Riello UPS, Trane, BMSI, THORN Zumtobel, Emtelle, Whitecroft Lighting have taken the decision to move the event date by one week.

 The new date is Tuesday 28th April.

We understand that this will cause disruption to diaries, but as the event is still a few weeks away, we agreed that taking this decision as early as possible was the best course of action. While we understand that tube strikes may not cause a complete shut down of the system, and that this date may, eventually, be called off, on balance we feel that moving our event was the best thing to do.

Managing Director Ruth Illing said “We are in a fortunate position to be agile enough to successfully change this date and would like to extend our warm thanks to everyone for their understanding.” 

Registrations have been coming in and everyone who has a ticket allocated will receive a personal email confirming the new date and time of the event.

We urge anyone who has registered to update their calendars to the new date:
