JEC WORLD 2020 postponed

 

On 26 February, the organizer of JEC World 2020 announced the postponement of this year's edition of the exhibition to 12-14 May from its original schedule of 3-5 March. The exhibition will take place at  Parc des Expositions de Villepinte, France. 

 

The recent spread of the coronavirus in new countries last week, and especially countries playing an important role in the composite materials industry such as China, South Korea and Italy, has obliged the JEC World organization team and key stakeholders of the industry to reassess the current situation.

 

Increased travel restrictions from authorities, but also at corporate level, both from exhibiting and visiting companies, have drastically reduced the potential attendance to the show. Moreover, the latest  developments  of  the  coronavirus  have  significantly  increased  the  concerns  of  participating companies about the health of their employees. JEC Group has the same concerns, having health and safety of their exhibitors, visitors, partners and staff as a number one priority. 

 

Being the leading trade show of the composites industry, as well as the festival of composites, JEC World brings together the whole industry value chain, as well as professionals from application sectors, experts from the scientific and academic world, associations and media from more than 112 countries. But the context does not allow the composites industry to get the event it deserves, which is why the JEC World team, with the full support of key stakeholders of the industry, has decided to postpone the event.
