SMT connect and PCIM Europe postponed
The next trade fairs will be postponed: Mesago has decided to postpone the SMT connect and PCIM Europe trade fairs from May to July.
The coronavirus has caused the next trade fair to be postponed: PCIM Europe and SMT connect, which were originally scheduled to take place in Nuremberg from May 5 to 7, have been postponed. The new date is July 28 to 30, 2020.
Petra Haarburger, Managing Director of Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH, explains the decision: "The dynamic developments in Europe surrounding Covid-19 require all trade fair organizers to constantly reassess the situation. We very much hope that we have acted in the interests of all those involved with this postponement and that we can thus make a joint contribution to delaying the spread of Covid-19 in Europe."
