IFA 2021 In Berlin Has Been Cancelled

Due to the global health uncertainties, this has forced the cancellation of IFA Berlin 2021. Their next trade show for consumer and home electronics will return from September 2nd through 6th, 2022. “The decision was made following detailed conversations with public health experts and multiple stakeholders,” says the IFA. “Ultimately, several key global health metrics did not move as fast in the right direction as had been hoped for – from the rapid emergence of new COVID-19 variants, for example in South Asia, to continued uncertainties about the speed of the rollout of vaccination programmes around the world. This in turn is adding uncertainty for the companies that were committed or interested in coming to Berlin, as well as media and visitors – all of whom have to plan well ahead with regards to budgets, investments and travel – not just for IFA, but all similar events around the world.”
