IDMA and Victam EMEA exhibition and conference will be held from May 27-29, 2021 at the Istanbul Expo Center in Istanbul, Turkey.
The decision to proceed as scheduled was based on several factors, primarily the relative stability and positive forecasts of the COVID-19 situation in Turkey. According to the organization, vaccination programs currently underway in several countries across the globe are expected to bring some global relief in the second quarter of this year. As such, the Turkish government has allowed business events to proceed and ensure all safety measures are taken.
Uncertainty as to whether the event would take place has led to hesitation amongst international exhibitors. Turkish companies however are noticeably more positive, and many have confirmed their participation. Despite the global uncertainty, the event has sold over 5,000 square meters, surpassing its pre-pandemic expectation.
“In light of the positive market reception and with the event three months away, we have created an alternative exhibition format for international companies keen on being present, yet unable to commit to traveling. We are offering a hybrid on-line/off-line presence which allows companies to exhibit with a fully-branded and equipped stand including a local bilingual host to welcome and connect visitors to the exhibiting team at the office via live-stream,” the organization said.
The event will take place following the Turkish COVID-19 safety measures to ensure the safety of all participants. For more information, visit idmavictam.com.
