SurfaceTechnology GERMANY 2020 postponed
After intensive discussions and considerations, it was decided: The trade fairs SurfaceTechnology GERMANY and parts2clean, which were scheduled for October in Stuttgart, cannot take place this year. Both events will return to regular rotation.The next date is October 5 to 7, 2021 in Stuttgart
The uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic, extensive restrictions and hygiene regulations for holding trade fairs in Baden-Württemberg, and limitations on international travel have led to a situation where SurfaceTechnology GERMANY and parts2clean, which were scheduled for 27‒29 October, will not be held this year. The decision was made by the organizer in close coordination with the trade fair advisory boards.
In numerous conversations with companies and associations, an increasingly distinct picture has emerged in recent weeks: Due to the economic crisis in which some companies are struggling to survive, there are currently other topics on the agenda than attending a trade fair. However, the question of health and protection against infection is still very important. Whether for business or private reasons ‒ much of the population is minimizing travel and contact. Especially international travel is more difficult. Furthermore, hygiene concepts and political guidelines for holding trade fairs would have significantly affected the usual appearance of the events. For trade fairs in Baden-Württemberg, for example, plans permit one person per 10 square meters in each exhibition hall.
A visitor survey last week finally tipped the scales for the cancellations. According to this survey, around 60 percent of the previous visitors of SurfaceTechnology GERMANY have either excluded or at least questioned a visit under the current circumstances. For parts2clean, this figure is even higher at 65 percent. The reason for this is very clearly the corona pandemic. The effects of the pandemic on staging trade fairs, fear of a possible infection, and limited travel opportunities are the main reasons for visitor skepticism.
SurfaceTechnology GERMANY , the international trade fair for surface technology, was originally scheduled for June 2020 and had therefore already been postponed to this autumn. The surface technology industry will now meet again at SurfaceTechnology GERMANY from 21 to 23 June 2022 in Stuttgart. Next year, the SurfaceTechnology AREA will also be part of HANNOVER MESSE in April 2021.
The leading international trade fair for parts and surface cleaning, parts2clean is an annual trade fair. Its next date is 5 to 7 October 2021.
