Organisers cancel physical Performance Days
24/11/2021
Organisers of the Munich show were in the final stages of preparation, but the political regulations agreed from November 19, added to rising covid-19 rates, have had “far-reaching consequences”.
The focus now is now on the digital fair on the same dates.Marco Weichert, CEO of Performance Days, said: “Exceptional situations require exceptional decisions – making these all the more difficult. After experiencing a very successful and surprisingly well-attended fair with the Functional Fabric Fair by Performance Days in Portland, Oregon last week, we have tried everything possible up to the last moment and firmly believed that we would finally set a further positive milestone with the physical edition in Munich.
“We fulfilled all the requirements, updated our hygiene concept several times to comply with the dynamically changing measures and took all the necessary precautions for a safe event.
“Unfortunately, current developments do not allow us to host the trade fair event next week, since the undisputed top priority is the protection and health of our visitors. Now our focus turns to the full implementation of the Digital Fair.”
Visitors will be able to view fabrics for winter 2023-34 online. The Performance Forum has been equipped with new 3D-technology, including 3D images, video animations and downloadable U3M files. There will be expert talks, discussions and speakers via livestream, moderated by Charles Ross live from the studio. On December 2, “The Sustainable Future of Nylon” will kick off with discussions and panels.
