members, we have to adapt to changing circumstances on an almost daily
basis, as we work to put together this year’s UFI Global Congress. This
event is there to bring our industry’s global community together –
something that is needed now more than ever. The whole UFI team is
grateful for the support we receive from so many members, who are
helping to make this possible. Top of this list are our hosts: MCH and
