CERSAIE

The Latest News on COVID

CERSAIE 2021 is on the horizon and EDI.CER is intent on hosting a live edition after cancellation in 2020 amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Organisers are optimistic since Italy will lift its ban on trade shows at the start of July and this gives Bologna Fiere enough time to prepare thorough and strict COVID-19 measures. Exhibitors have already booked almost the entire space for September 27th – October 1st. This is a positive sign that even with digital offers and online events, nothing is going to replace trade shows as a source for networking and sales leads. Trade shows remain the engine of business for the ceramics sector and CERSAIE 2021 is shaping up to be truly special.
