After the three-month compulsory corona break, Landesmesse Stuttgart is now turning its attention to the upcoming trade fairs in autumn, including Vision 2020: "Our planning is already in full swing and all known hygiene and distance regulations will of course be guaranteed", says Roland Bleinroth, Speaker of the Board of Management of Messe Stuttgart. In addition, those responsible for the trade fair spoke with representatives of the relevant ministries on several occasions in recent weeks. A final decision has not yet been made, however.

"Health protection is not complicated for organisational professionals at trade fair companies. In principle there are three important criteria which we have defined for a trade fair visit at our company", explains Stefan Lohnert, Managing Director of Messe Stuttgart. "Firstly, we control the density of people via ticket sales and admission. A minimum distance of 1.5 m between people on the trade fair grounds is thus possible without any problems. Secondly, we implement the hygiene standards of the Robert Koch Institute. We have the necessary infrastructure for this. And finally, the contact tracking of all trade fair participants is guaranteed by our long-established online registration systems".

If the authorities finally grant approval, Vision 2020 will take place from 10 to 12 November.
