IFAT 2020 is canceled - next IFAT: May 30 to June 3, 2022

After intensive discussions with industry associations, partners and many exhibitors from all segments of IFAT, the fair was now canceled with a heavy heart, after it has already been postponed from May to September. The next IFAT will now take place from May 30 to June 3, 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a massive impact—also on the global environmental technology industry. In consultation with the Executive Board of the Exhibitors’ Advisory Board and the conceptual partners of IFAT, Messe München conducted a survey among the IFAT exhibitors, revealing that most respondents are against holding IFAT from September 7 to 11, 2020.

Hence, IFAT at the planned time would be unacceptable—not only for Messe München but also for the trade fair participants. In addition, according to the latest announcements, major events must not be held until the end of August 2020. In order to provide all customers a reliable basis for planning and in close consultation with the Executive Board of the Exhibitors' Advisory Board, IFAT is canceled.

“A safe and successful IFAT 2020 for all concerned—that was our primary concern. Due to the still unforeseeable circumstances, this objective is unfortunately no longer feasible, even for the new date,” explains Stefan Rummel, Managing Director of Messe München.

The decision is based on intensive discussions with industry associations, partners and many exhibitors from all segments of IFAT. And a recent survey has confirmed this opinion.
