In addition to the continued rise in infection rates and hospitalisation rates, the new German 2G plus regulation (entrance for those vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 as well as tested) and the set limits on events make it impossible to go ahead with SPS.
"We deeply regret this decision, but in view of the rapidly worsening situation and the even stricter regulations, we see ourselves forced to cancel this year's industry meeting point," emphasises Martin Roschkowski, President of Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.
"Our goal with the SPS 2021 was to design the best possible business platform under the safest possible conditions. We know how important the SPS is for our customers and partners, especially this year. However, it will unfortunately not be possible to hold it despite constantly improving safety measures."
