IBTM Asia Pacific to take place in 2022
Organiser Reed Exhibitions announced the inaugural edition of IBTM Asia Pacific has been pushed back to next year.
It has moved the date to 5-6 April 2022 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
It took the decision following the latest government advice regarding Covid-19 and as a result of in-depth discussions with customers and hosted buyers from the region and globally.
IBTM Asia Pacific was originally scheduled for April this year.
"While we are seeing very positive moves towards the gradual return of live events, the situation is still fragile. Although Singapore is considered a safe destination, IBTM Asia Pacific is a global event which attracts an international audience, and therefore we have a desire and a responsibility to give our attendees the safest and best possible in-person experience," said Michael Jones, Event Manager, IBTM Asia Pacific, said:
"We had hoped to be able to go ahead with the event this year and obviously it is disappointing to have to delay the event for a second time, but the health and safety of our customers, Hosted Buyers, partners and employees is our number one priority."
