Despite the problems associated with the coronavirus, LogiMAT 2020 event organizer EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH in Munich, together with the Messe Stuttgart convention center and the relevant local authorities, had up to now considered it feasible to host LogiMAT 2020. It would be the 18th International Trade Show for Intralogistics Solutions & Process Management in Stuttgart. The local Office of Public Health in Esslingen saw no heightened threat to exhibitors and visitors.
At this point, however, the risk of infection has become more acute due to the increased and accelerated spread of the coronavirus in Germany. With the region of Stuttgart among those particularly affected. The responsible Office of Public Order in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, acting on the urgent recommendation of the responsible Office of Public Health for the region of Esslingen, instructed organizers at 5:17 p.m. today to cancel LogiMAT 2020.
Please find more info on the cancellation in the official press release.
