In view of the recent developments as a result of the global spread of COVID-19 and, after consulting its exhibition committee, key stakeholders, exhibitors and visitors of the cleaning and hygiene industry, RAI Amsterdam has announced that Interclean Amsterdam will be rescheduled. The new dates will be confirmed by March 20, 2020.
In their statement, RAI Amsterdam noted the rapid spread of the Corona virus has led to increased travel restrictions from authorities. These restrictions, as well as those imposed within companies, would result in materially reduced attendance of the show. To maintain the international reach and quality of the event, it was determined to set a new date for the event.
Through Interclean, RAI Amsterdam said it is strongly committed to playing its role as a meeting place for hygiene professionals and in building bridges for successful cooperation and expertise across the industry. This is even more important as organizations worldwide are looking to build consensus on how to tackle outbreaks like the Corona virus.
“By moving the exhibition to the fall, we hope to offer our exhibitors the earliest possible time slot to present their innovations to a global audience and to initiate business,” says Bas Dalm, Executive Vice President Exhibitions & Sales. “In view of the global economic challenges triggered by the Corona virus in the first half of the year, moving the show to the Fall offers great opportunities. Thus, the world’s most important industrial trade fair can provide important impetus for the global economy at an early stage at a time when it much needed in view global health issues.”
