After the Chinese edition of sports trade show Ispo (scheduled from 12 to 15 February 2020 at NCIEC Beijing) has been cancelled due to the novel coronavirus last week, further trade show organizers follow: As was announced today Messe Frankfurt postpones its Shanghai textile fairs Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, Yarn Expo Spring and Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles which were due to be held 11-13 March at the National Exhibition and Convention Center.
“[...] We stand fully behind the government’s efforts to control the outbreak,” Ms. Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd outlined. “[...] With the wellbeing of all our stakeholders in mind, we have made the decision to reschedule our upcoming textile fairs in Shanghai to a later date.”
