Finanz Zurich 2024 will take place between 24.04.2024 and 25.04.2024. The event will be held as a face-to-face trade show in Halle 550 in the Zurich Oerlikon. The exhibition grounds at Halle 500 will feature extensive sanitation and improved ventilation. Apart from these general hygiene measures and the recommendation for attendees to perform regular hand sanitation, the venue will not implement Covid-19 safety measures.
