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.
The New Dates are as follows:
Labelexpo
Americas/Brand Print Americas: 23 - 25
March 2021 in Rosemont, US
Labelexpo Southeast
Asia: 12 - 14 May 2022 in Bangkok,
Thailand
Labelexpo
India/Brand Print India: 2 - 5
December 2020 in Greater Noida, India
Labelexpo
Mexico/Brand Print Mexico: Early 2022 in
Mexico City, Mexico.
Meanwhile Labelexpo
South China/Brand Print South China will go ahead as currently planned in 2020,
between 8 - 10 December.
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.
Talking about Labelexpo
South China/Brand Print South China, Milburn added: “We will be working closely
with our event venues and colleagues in China to ensure that all the required
health and safety measures are in place for successful shows this year.
“We thank all our
Labelexpo and Brand Print exhibitors and partners for their understanding
during this challenging time, and look forward to working with them on the
rescheduled shows. Crucially, Labelexpo and Brand Print shows will play a vital
role in driving the economic recovery of the entire label and package printing
and branded print industries, plus their supply chains, around the world. I
urge everyone to embrace the opportunity and help our community plan for the
future.”
Further updates will
be posted on the individual show websites in due course. For any exhibitor or
