The entire Nuremberg Metropolitan Region is eagerly awaiting the resumption of the trade fairs and congresses. The opening perspective in September lets many industries breathe a sigh of relief whose business is connected with the events of NürnbergMesse, such as the hotel industry, gastronomy, transport companies and exhibition stand builders. Due to the cancellation and postponement of events at the Nuremberg exhibition center, purchasing power effects of 1.55 billion euros failed to materialize last year in Germany alone.

At the opening of Auto Shanghai 2021, the CAR institute of internationally famed mobility expert Prof. Dr Ferdinand Dudenh?ffer and NürnbergMesse China issued a memorandum of understanding announcing an exclusive partnership.

For NürnbergMesse, 2020 wasn’t just the year of COVID, but also a turbocharger for digitalisation. We accumulated a great deal of know-how in building up digital platforms, and thus surpassed ourselves in coping with the crisis. The new digital formats provide important bridges for our customers, and establish a meaningful complement for our in-person events.

From 1 January 2021, event and exhibition catering provider Lehrieder will be a wholly owned service subsidiary of NürnbergMesse. Exhibition company supports subsidiary and employees during the coronavirus crisis. Improved range and quality of service in catering at Nuremberg trade fair venue.

Hall 3C at NürnbergMesse has been converted in recent weeks into the central vaccination centre for the city. It will start work on 15 December and remain in operation until at least 30 June 2021. Medical professionals will be able to vaccinate as many as 1,000 people each day. The international exhibition sector is one of the groups most strongly affected by the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. By establishing the vaccination centre we are sending out a strong signal in the fight against the virus, and at the same time we are helping to get real-life exhibition activities back on track!”, says Peter Ottmann, NürnbergMesse Group CEO, at last Friday's visit of the new vaccination centre situated in our exhibition Hall 3C.

Following extensive discussions and critical observation of the current situation, NürnbergMesse, in close cooperation with customers and partners, has decided not to hold the physical BrauBeviale 2020 Special Edition trade fair as planned and to move the program exclusively to the digital world. The reasons for this are the current national and global developments of the corona pandemic, the rapidly increasing number of infections, and the associated massive restrictions on business travel in companies. Exhibitors and visitors will be able to meet virtually all year round on the digital dialog platform myBeviale.com, where the extensive supporting program BrauBeviale@stage will be online from 10 – 12 November 2020. The next BrauBeviale will take place again in 2022 at Messe Nuremberg.
