SIAL Paris 2020 rescheduled to 2022
Everyone in the SIAL Paris team has remained firmly committed to support businesses and provide them with this export springboard which is so keenly awaited to get the economy back on track. To enable such an international event to take place during this pandemic hit, we put together several initiatives to secure individual and collective safety and maintain the quality of business exchanges and inspiration:
- Deployment of a ruthless public health protocol
- Reinforcement of personal and public transport services
- A hybrid offer to enable everyone to interact within the event
- Multiple studies and surveys (XTC, Kantar, Gira, Make.Org, etc.) to share with our community and support changes in the food industry.
The latest developments in the situation worldwide and the uncertainties arising from them have led many of you to change their opinion with regards to the exhibition. Following the survey which was sent to you on 15th July, the results show that a majority of exhibitors representing more than half the surface area of the show ask for the show to be postponed.
In accordance with the commitments that we have made, we are following the majority. SIAL Paris is therefore postponed to 2022, and will take place from 15th to 19th October.
In line with our mission, it remains our firm intention to keep in touch and accompany the recovery and the transformation of the food industry. We will offer you new events from October 2020 dealing with product trends, innovation, foresight and major exclusive market research, which are unparalleled in the food world.
We will furthermore continue to expand our global network to offer regional growth platforms with major annual gatherings in China, Canada, Indonesia, India and the United Arab Emirates.
