The IMEX Group has announced the cancellation of IMEX in Frankfurt, one of the biggest travel industry events of the year, due to the coronavirus. The event had been scheduled to take place on 12-14 May.
The annual event draws approximately 5,100 buyers and 3,400 exhibitors from 170 countries to Messe Frankfurt for networking and education.
“Our primary concern is always the responsibility we feel towards our exhibitors and partners, who fund the show – not only by purchasing stand space but also in the considerable additional investment they make in everything from the build of stunning stands to the hosting of buyer events,” the organisation said in a statement announcing the decision.
Additionally, the IMEX Group said that it is still working to deliver IMEX America, which is scheduled to take place on 15 – 17 September in Las Vegas, including plans to recognise the 10th anniversary of the show.
