Chinaplas 2020 postponed to April 2021, moves venue to Shenzhen
The 34th edition of Chinaplas has been postponed yet again, from its new scheduled date of 3-6 August 2020 to 13-16 April 2021.
Commenting on the spread of COVID-19 in China, that has since spread all over the world in a world-wide pandemic, show organiser Adsale states that the virus is largely under control in China, but poses a high degree of uncertainty globally. “China has now a formidable task of fighting against local rebound infections while preventing the next wave of outbreak from imported cases.”
On 6th April 2020, the State Council of China issued the circular of “The Further Control and Preventive Measures of the Novel Coronavirus at Key Venues, Units and Groups”. According to “Preventive Suggestions” in the circular, it has clearly mentioned that all kinds of exhibitions have to be stopped for the time being.
Besides the change of the show dates, the show venue will move from National Exhibition and Convention Centre in Shanghai to Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Centre in Shenzhen. Opened in 2019, the new exhibition space in Shenzhen boasts 400,000 sq m of space to cater to a larger event for next year. Chinaplas will now alternate between the cities of Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Safety and health of all show participants are put as top priority. Regarding the participation or admission fee paid by exhibitors and visitors, the show organiser will make the necessary arrangements and notifications.
