Tarsus Group, the organizer of the Labelexpo/Brand Print Global Series of trade shows, has confirmed date changes to several of its 2020/21 events, taking place in India, Mexico, Thailand and the US, as a result of the ongoing coronavirus/COVID-19 situation.
These include:
- Labelexpo Americas / Brand Print Americas: postponed from September 15–17,2020 to March 23–25, 2021 in Rosemont, US;
- Labelexpo Southeast Asia: postponed from September 10–12,2020 to May 12–14,2022 in Bangkok, Thailand;
- Labelexpo India / Brand Print India: postponed from October 29 – November 1, 2020 to December 2–5, 2020 in Greater Noida, India;
- Labelexpo Mexico / Brand Print Mexico: postponed from June 23–25, 2021 to early 2022 in Mexico City, Mexico (dates tbc).
In the case of Labelexpo Americas/Brand Print Americas, a virtual conference will precede the show, taking place during the original mid-September dates. This will enable the industry to stay connected during this unprecedented period. Lisa Milburn, managing director of Labelexpo/Brand Print Global Series, said, “Given the impact of coronavirus/COVID-19, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone several of our printing shows around the world over the next 18 months until the threat of the virus reduces. These are exceptional circumstances, and the decision has been the result of an in-depth strategic review of our whole portfolio, while simultaneously monitoring developments around the word over the last few months. The health and safety of exhibitors, visitors and staff has been our key driver throughout this process, and we have acted on the advice of all local partners, venues, health authorities concerned, and listened to exhibitor feedback.” “In determining new dates for individual shows, we have taken into consideration the needs and geographies of our wider portfolio, their biennial nature, position in the overall show cycle, and availability of venues. Moving Labelexpo Southeast Asia will also enable us to return to our normal show cycle from 2022. For all of our shows, we are, as ever, committed to ensuring the highest quality, safe experience the industry expects from Labelexpo and Brand Print, and delivering even bigger shows when they return,” she said. Labelexpo South China/Brand Print South China will go ahead as currently planned in 2020, between 8 – 10 December.
