It is the second year that the Expo is being held virtually and the preview week is intended to allow those attending to plan their time for the two days, test the technology and book time with members of the Nisa team.
Nisa’s events manager Jenny Potts said: “After the success of last year’s online event and the positive feedback received, we wanted to create something just as valuable, and convenient, for this year.
“Given the ongoing uncertainty at the time of organising, we also thought it best to continue to respect the health and safety of our partners, suppliers and colleagues which is why we opted for a virtual occasion.”
The annual awards will be a major part of the Expo, with three of the awards being voted for during the event.
Potts said: “Historically, the gala dinner and awards evening at our annual show has always been quite spectacular and we realise it is just not possible to replicate such a grand affair virtually.
“However, we still want to make it a bit of an occasion and by adding in live voting for a number of the categories it creates some more anticipation and excitement and means the winners are chosen by their peers.”
Nisa is already planning its 2022 event, which it expects to return to a physical form.
