Reed Exhibitions Ltd, the organizer of In-Cosmetics Global, announced new dates for 2021. The event will now take place in Fira Barcelona, on October 5-7 2021, moving from the original April dates.
This early announcement will hopefully allow time for the impact of COVID-19 across the world to stabilize and when safe to do so, ensure that the event can continue its critical role in bringing the global industry together again, according to Reed.
“After consulting with exhibitors and key stakeholders, we recognize that in order to hold an international event there needs to be more time to allow for the reopening of borders and lifting of travel restrictions. It is clear that the industry needs to meet in person later in 2021," explained Roziani Zulkifli, exhibition director at Reed Exhibition. "Large-scale events are subject to ever-changing national and local guidelines and regulations. Our priority is to deliver an engaging and COVID-secure face-to-face event with combined virtual solutions in October as we are able, one that gives our exhibitors and visitors the additional time to adapt and continue on the path to recovery.
"Now, more than ever, there is a strong need to reunite, connect and do business. The importance of In-Cosmetics Global cannot be underestimated as the largest global event that brings together cosmetic manufacturers and suppliers of ingredients," Zulkifli continued. "In-Cosmetics Global has been running for the last 30 years and there is an excitement that surrounds live exhibitions. Nothing can fully replace face-to-face meetings, whilst seeing and experiencing new cosmetic ingredients. We are confident that this decision best supports the industry, and in October we will be ready to regroup and look ahead to the future."
Reed notes that although the Group has been unable to hold the live exhibition in 2020, it has held five virtual events over the past seven months and the virtual In-Cosmetics Formulation Summit coming up on November 17-19 2020 that will focus on formulation in the climate change age.
