Dear Automotive Expo & B2B Meetings Participants,
The Automotive Expo Committee has held an Extraordinary meeting to discuss the potential risks for participants and potential impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the event.
Teams of buyers and suppliers from more than 150 companies have already confirmed their presence in the event and other companies register daily. About 600 invitations for meetings were sent and more than 300 meetings are already confirmed by participants and planned on the online platform.
However, after careful consideration of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, the Committee agreed that we should postpone the event for the next 2 months. The health of all participants in the event, buyers, suppliers, employees and collaborators is a top priority for us. Automotive Expo & B2B Meetings 2020 has therefore been postponed to 28.05.2020.
As an organization, we have a responsibility for the wellbeing of all participants, as well as for the organizers and collaborators. The Committee felt that the potential risks of infection, coupled with the potential imposition of travel restrictions or quarantine, were too high to continue with planned program for the event at this point in time.
