As vaccines slowly begin to roll out across the globe, we look forward with excitement to see what 2021 may hold. While most countries are still in the grip of the pandemic, we hope that towards the end of the year we may see some smaller events opening back up to the public - even if it’s with limited capacity.
That said, it is likely that most big events will be held virtually again this year. It is still early days and most events are currently being scheduled. However, below we have created a list of the most important events coming up this year.
We will update times and dates when they are available, as well as include any other events as they come online.
