Trade fair
Just a few days until the SPS 2021
Despite several cancellations, the majority of exhibitors will be on site.
SPS 2021 was planned by trade fair organizer Mesago as a hybrid event from the outset and all tickets for the Nuremberg exhibition grounds also include access to the virtual event. This means that even those who do not meet the access criteria - i.e. who are neither sufficiently vaccinated nor demonstrably recovered - can take part.
For everyone else, SPS will continue to offer the opportunity to meet in person from November 23 to 25 in Nuremberg. Mesago's experience with its own event "Formnext 2021", which is currently running in Frankfurt, and also that of "Productronica" in Munich are encouraging: the combination of 2G and mask-wearing obviously provides sufficient security.
This is why the majority of exhibitors will continue to be present on site in Nuremberg, despite the announcement by several larger companies that they intend to limit themselves to the virtual part of the event.
