Personal care industry exhibition round-up


n Richard Scott - Editor, Personal Care


Exhibitions across the world have seen significant disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some have been postponed, while others have moved online, taking advantage of the recent boom in digital conference technology. In this article we will try to collate all the


latest information and current status of the major global exhibitions in the personal care industry. It will be correct at the time of going to press, but we recommend checking the relevant official websites for any event before making any decision to travel.


IFSCC Congress – 21-30 October, Yokohama Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Organizing Committee of the 31st IFSCC Congress 2020 Yokohama has decided to cancel in-person congress in Yokohama, Japan and hold a virtual congress. A spokesperson for the IFSCC said: “This has been an exceptionally difficult decision, but the safety and health of our community are more important. We commit you that we will do our best for the success of the first virtual IFSCC Congress.” The first IFSCC Virtual Congress 2020


Yokohama will take place from October 21- 30, 2020. The Virtual Congress will feature a


distinguished online lecture given by the Nobel Prize Winner, Yoshinori Ohsumi, PhD, as well as more than 70 oral and over 500 poster presentations, all available on- demand so that you can view at a time that suits you. Website: https://www.ifscc2020.com/


SEPAWA 28-30 October, Berlin The organisers of SEPAWA have been very confident that the event will remain in its original venue and dates. The 67th SEPAWA Congress will take place from 28 - 30 October 2020 in Berlin at the Estrel Congress Center. Recently the German federal


government has extended the ban for big events until 24th of October. The individual federal countries can adapt the rules according to the individual situation. According to these regulations, events


of up to 1,000 visitors on the floor simultaneously can already take place from 1 October 2020. After October 24, no regulations have been issued yet, but the organisers have said they are confident that further easing of the restrictions will come. As all participants are registered, full control of the numbers is always guaranteed. Therefore, the SEPAWA Congress 2020 is scheduled as originally planned. The board


and organisers have been carefully considering all possible scenarios and have included all important safety standards in their planning. In addition to the standard measures,


such as disinfectants and the provision of mouth and nose protection masks, the organisers are planning further precautions to protect the health and planning security of all participants. The Estrel Congress Center benefits


from large, open spaces, allowing the event to adhere comfortably to any possible government rules for distance and conduct with additional space if required. State-of- the-art exhaust air systems and generous premises guarantee an optimal air exchange and fresh air supply. Website: https://sepawa-congress.de/en/
