Originally readied to happen in Hamburg September 8 to 11, the SMM worldwide maritime profession fair has actually currently been delayed to February 2 to 5, 2021 in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic and also its international influence on significant occasions and also worldwide traveling.
“The continued highly dynamic development of COVID-19 and the resulting ban on major events have left us no other choice but to postpone SMM to next year. Finding a suitable new timeframe for SMM was not an easy task for us, and we are happy we have been able to do so,” claimed Bernd Aufderheide, President and also Chief Executive Officer of Hamburg Messe und Congress.
Following appointments with the exhibitor board of advisers, Hamburg Messe und Congress and also its companions and also various other exhibitor reps have actually settled on the brand-new days. This, they state, indicates SMM will certainly be the brand-new year’s very first worldwide celebration of the maritime sector.
“We will offer the global maritime community an extraordinary, more compact SMM in February 2021. Together we will overcome this crisis and host an SMM that will live up to its own, high standards. We are looking forward to welcoming everybody back,” claimed Aufderheide.
