Preparing to Restart Our Trade Fairs

The coronavirus pandemic has meant social and economic challenges for all of us. Our events have been affected too. A number of trade fairs and conferences have had to be postponed or cancelled.

But you can be sure we at NürnbergMesse have been keeping our ears open for you, and for your concerns about appearing at a trade fair. What was true before is even truer in this crisis: we want to keep up our dialogue and our partnership with you! In spite of all the other challenges that dominate your daily operations these days, we’ll still be available to you, and will keep you posted as reliably and regularly as current circumstances permit.

For our trade fairs’ benefit we are keeping a close eye on the situation in markets around the world, and especially in Europe, and are seeking a close dialogue with the industries concerned. Our aim: to ensure that you can make plans reliably – and to provide a platform for dialogue that suits the current situation in the best possible way.

Trade fairs are more than platforms that offer market opportunities for our businesses. Especially since the crisis, people long for dialogue, networking, and the opportunity to share knowledge directly and develop new ideas together – whether in analogue, hybrid or digital form. 

That is why we have set a top priority on ensuring that our exhibitors, guest organisers, partners and visitors have a trade fair experience that is both highly professional and safe. On 23 July of this year, the Bavarian State Government adopted a hygiene concept for the reopening of trade fairs, conferences and exhibitions, prepared with significant participation from NürnbergMesse and other Bavarian exhibition companies. That is because better than any other branch of the economy, trade fairs can do an exemplary job of implementing standards for social distancing, hygiene and safety.

Due to the latest developments concerning the spread of the coronavirus, NürnbergMesse has decided to postpone a number of this year’s trade fairs:
