Organisers of Craft Drinks India 2020 have postponed the 1-2 July event, citing evolving public health concerns and caution advisories around Covid-19.
The tradefair and conference had been due to run at Manpho Convention Centre, Manyata Tech Park Road, Bengaluru, India.
The organisers, PDA Trade Fairs Pvt Ltd and Nurnberg Messe India Pvt Ltd, said, however, that in the circumstances, postponement was the best option to prioritise stakeholders’ health, safety and investments.
Organisers added that key factors in there decision were “the uncertainty over the unabated charge of this epidemic and related travel advisories being issued by governments and business corporations. Such notices have disrupted travel plans across corporate sectors which would have caused a huge challenge in our endeavour to deliver the best to the industry. The organisers trust that industry colleagues and partners would concur with this decision and continue to support Craft Drinks India in these difficult and testing times”.

NurnbergMesse Italia had earlier announced the 2020 postponement of its Craft Beer Italia, scheduled for November, due to the autumn calendar being squeezed.
“We are working intensively on tailor-made initiatives for our country during the leading event of our network: BrauBeviale 2020, that will take place 10-12 November in Nuremberg,” said Stefania Calcaterra, General Manager of NürnbergMesse Italia.
