Messe Düsseldorf cancels boot 2021 due to ongoing pandemic
Messe Düsseldorf has announced it has cancelled boot Düsseldorf for 2021. One of the world’s top trade shows for the scuba diving and watersports industry is another casualty of the ongoing pandemic and its associated worldwide lockdown measures.
In the current climate the planned date in April is no longer possible, says Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf:
“The continuing high level of infection and the fact that the end of the lockdown is not foreseeable for the time being make a resumption of trade fair operations at the end of April appear increasingly unrealistic. We have reassessed the situation with our partners and jointly decided to cancel boot 2021 early. Our priority is the health and planning security of our exhibitors, visitors and service providers. All activities will now be focused on the successful staging of boot 2022.”
The aim, he said, is to return to the concept of boot Düsseldorf both as an event for all water sports enthusiasts and as a business and networking platform for the international trade audience. For 2022, he added, work is also underway on a hybrid trade fair experience that will, among other things, enable digital participation in seminars and events at boot Düsseldorf.
The next boot is now due to open its doors from 22 to 30 January 2022, with registration starting in May this year.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of the postponement of this Spring’s UK Dive Show 2021 which is now planned to take place at the NEC in Birmingham on 30th and 31st October 2021.
