“In recent weeks, however, the disappointingly slow improvement in the pandemic has been fuelling uncertainty across the industry,” said Ernst Kick, CEO at Spielwarenmesse eG.
Next year’s show will take place at the Exhibition Centre in Nuremberg from July 20th to July 24th 2021.
Spielwarenmesse is currently in talks with NürnbergMesse to find a suitable summer date for the Spielwarenmesse 2021.
Exhibitors will be required to keep a contact list for all customer appointments held at stand tables where masks are removed.
“Due to force majeure, we will not be able to run Spiel 20 on the intended date, either factually or technically,” read a statement from show organisers.
