ABMA 2020 Update: Interbrush Decision in 10 Days
The 2020 ABMA Convention concluded last night with a game-filled reception that moved indoor due to unseasonably cool weather in St. Petersburg, Fla. The reception featured dartboards, shuffleboard, virtual reality head sets, giant beer pong, beer tasting and a caricature artist.
While the reception provided a great way to celebrate the end of a busy week, discussions still centered around the Coronavirus and the impact on Interbrush 2020. During the Thursday morning session, Daniel Strowitzki of Messe Freiburg announced that a decision on whether or not to postpone would be made in 10 days. That means all Interbrush attendees and exhibitors should expect a final announcement by March 15, 2020.
In other news, FEIBP vice president Andrew McIlroy of Perlon announced Belfast, Ireland, as the location for the 2021 FEIBP Congress. In the meantime preparations are under way for the 2020 Congress to be held September 24-26, 2020 in Prague, Czech Republic.
