“Our primary objective,' said Massimiliano Pierini, Reed Exhibitions Italy managing director, 'is to stage events that could meet our stakeholders’ business needs and reflect the unparalleled MCE and BIE brands international reputation. The hard job done so far, leads us to believe that September is no longer the ideal period for MCE and BIE, they could not be able to be as great as they are used to be. Due to the ongoing national and regional ordinances, still not ensuring resumption of exhibition activities in a short time, and multiple travel restrictions around the world, unfortunately, force us to reschedule MCE to 2022, from 8 to 11 March.

In the meantime MCE and BIE activities will keep moving, through webinars and communication activities with exhibitors, and partnership with trade associations, under the #MCEMoveOnTogether campaign. Moreover, to keep the industry connected and moving forward after Covid-19, a range of new initiatives for 2021 will soon be introduced
