As a result of the ongoing uncertainties facing the world in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the continuing ban on gatherings of large numbers of people in Switzerland, Index 20 organizers, PALEXPO and EDANA have been reviewing the best course of action, and postponed the world’s leading nonwovens exhibition to September 7th to 10th, 2021.
In particular, the organizers acknowledge that the latest development of the worldwide COVID-19 situation is not yet leading to a normalized situation, including the extension of confinement periods, no visibility concerning the reopening of international borders and/or international transportation, increasing expert opinions anticipating a negative evolution, etc.
The safety of all Index 20 attendees remains the organizers’ paramount concern. While PALEXPO and EDANA sincerely hope that the ravages of the virus will have abated by the end of the year, the organizers are unable to guarantee that the very significant on-going disruptions will have been resolved by October 2020.
