Mack-Brooks Exhibitions has announced the postponement of its ICE Europe, CCE International and InPrint Munich 2021 shows, which were all scheduled to take place at the Munich Trade Fair Centre in Germany, 9-11 March 2021. Instead, the collective of converting, paper and print exhibitions will run 22–24 June 2021. This decision was taken, the organiser said, in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and continued uncertainties regarding travel restrictions and event planning by the authorities.
Commenting on the announcement, Patrick Herman, event director of the Converting, Paper and Print Events at Mack-Brooks Exhibitions said: “Following careful consideration of various options we have come to the decision to hold the shows in June 2021. Based on the current international developments due to the Covid-19 pandemic, including further lockdowns and travel restrictions, we believe that the most responsible decision at this stage is to postpone.”
“The combination of three dedicated trade events evolving around converting and printing in the manufacturing process creates a multifaceted experience with increased opportunities and synergies. However, our main focus is to ensure a successful participation for our visitors and exhibitors. And in order to do that we need to get the conditions right,” Herman added.
Mack Brooks said its show teams would be communicating closely with customers and partners over the coming months.
