Domotex Germany Cancels In-Person Event, Will Be Held Virtually

Domotex 2021 has scrapped plans for the in-person portion of its event in Hannover, Germany, and will now be held as a virtual-only event May 20 called “Domotex Digital Day.” 

The in-person flooring industry trade show was originally postponed from January to May 2021 with the aim to host a hybrid in-person and digital show. However, the continued rise of COVID-19 cases across the globe caused organizers to switch gears once again and focus efforts solely online.

It will be the first time in the event’s 32-year history that it will not be held as an in-person trade show.

The digital event will feature a conference format and will address current topics with top representatives in the industry, as well as provide participants with an interactive business form, according to Sonia Wedell-Castellano, spokesperson for Deutsche Messe AG, which organizes the annual trade show. 

“As part of the conference, exhibitors will be able to present their products and innovations, embrace business and indulge into networking and connecting,” Wedell-Castellano added. The specific opportunities for participation will be available in our online store pretty soon."

Domotex is planning to host a hybrid event Jan. 13–16, 2022, at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds.
