Dear exibitor, Dear partner,

On February 9, 2021, the French Parliament voted to extend the state of health emergency so that professional events in general and trade shows in particular will not be able to be held during this period.

As a result, Workplace Meetings will not be able to open on 6 April as originally planned, nor will Workspace Expo and le Salon des Achats et de l’Environnement de Travail, which were scheduled to open on 25 May.

However, we had anticipated this announcement and were working on alternatives. To this end, we have blocked new dates: the first fortnight of June in Cannes for Workplace Meetings and 22-24 June in Paris for Workspace Expo and the Salon des Achats et de l’Environnement de Travail.

Aware of the proximity of these dates for these events, we will give priority to holding one or the other depending on the sanitary conditions, the authorized capacities and if all the parameters for success are met.

June indeed seems to us a potentially plausible month for the holding of our shows. It was at this time last year that the virus was least virulent. This is evidenced by the low number of cases recorded throughout this month, no doubt due to the arrival of summer, which has boosted the population’s immunity.

In addition, vaccines were not available as they are now.

This is why we cannot ignore the fact that these fairs can be held in very good conditions on these dates.

Nevertheless, we are continuing to follow the evolution of the health situation, the impact of vaccination and government announcements with the greatest attention and are working on other possibilities during the second half of the year.

Since the beginning of this health crisis, our main objective has been to be able to open our trade shows under the best possible conditions and at the best possible date for all those involved in our events, whether they are exhibitors, top decision-makers, visitors or, of course, partners, in strict compliance with the health measures recommended by the Government.

This is what we successfully achieved last September for IT  & IT Security Meetings, Security/Safety & Prevention Meetings, Hotel&Restaurant Meetings and Heavent Meetings.

We will therefore keep you informed of the evolution of the situation and its repercussions on the exhibition(s) you attend.

We would like to express our gratitude for your patience and understanding.
