The increase in Omicron cases across Europe and around the world together with current regulatory uncertainty caused chairman, Ray Bloom and CEO, Carina Bauer to review their plans, together with their host venue, city and industry partners. They have taken the opportunity to accept new dates offered by Messe Frankfurt, meaning the show could return to its more familiar timings in late spring.
As IMEX CEO Carina Bauer explains, “Everyone in our
industry can see the current situation in Europe and knows that, with trade
shows depending on such long lead times, it doesn’t support a show in April. We
strongly believe that a late May edition of IMEX in Frankfurt will allow
everyone to move ahead and plan with certainty and confidence. Having recently
come off a highly successful IMEX America, we’re completely focused on building
a strong return for IMEX in Frankfurt and we’re also keenly aware of how much
our industry needs IMEX to bring everyone together and prove that business
regeneration and good lead flow is not only viable but closer than some
may think.”
IMEX in Frankfurt takes places 31 May – 2 June, with a dedicated day of tailored education on Monday 30 May for specialist groups such as corporate, association and agency buyers.
Registration for IMEX in Frankfurt will go live in the
week commencing Monday January 17.
