The organisers of the Industrial Automation Fair Guangzhou (SIAF) and Asiamold fairs have announced that the 2020 events will be postponed until further notice, due to the Coronavirus outbreak in the region.
The fairs were originally scheduled to be held from 26–28 February 2020 in Guangzhou, China. New dates for the fairs will be announced in due course, the organizers say.
‘The wellbeing of all our stakeholders is paramount, so following the announcement by the Guangdong government to strengthen the epidemic prevention efforts by suspending all large-scale trade and economic events, we immediately began taking steps to postpone these two fairs to a later date,’ said Hubert Duh, chairman of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt. ‘We are in communication with the relevant government authorities and venue owners about rescheduling the fairs later this year, but due to the evolving situation in the country, it is too early to provide any details on this.’
Exhibitors or visitors with any queries should email sps@china.messefrankfurt.com for SIAF or asiamold@china.messefrankfurt.com for Asiamold.
