AIPC, the International Association of Convention Centres and UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition industry have released a second guide to assist members in dealing with the consequences of health and operational challenges relating to the current COVID-19 outbreak. The second Guide is specific to the conversion of facilities to temporary emergency use, which is a need that has arisen in many parts of the world as centres engage in the fight to manage and contain the pandemic.

The Guide will be distributed to all AIPC and UFI members to support them in what for many is a new experience with limited precedent. It is a complement to the Good Practices Guide to COVID-19 for Convention and Exhibition Centres guidebook that was produced and distributed in early March of this year.
