SPS 2021 is cancelled as Covid bites again
Following the announcement made by Bavarian Prime Minister Dr Markus Söder, the SPS onsite event in Nuremberg and the digital SPS on air, which was scheduled to take place from 23 – 25 November 2021, have been cancelled.
In addition to the continued rise in infection rates and hospitalisation rates, the new German 2G plus regulation (entrance for those vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19 as well as tested) and the set limits on events make it impossible to realize the SPS.
Martin Roschkowski, president of Mesago Messe Frankfurt said: “We deeply regret this decision, but in view of the rapidly worsening situation and the even stricter regulations, we see ourselves forced to cancel this year’s industry meeting point.
“Our goal with the SPS 2021 was to design the best possible business platform under the safest possible conditions. We know how important the SPS is for our customers and partners, especially this year. However, it will unfortunately not be possible to hold it despite constantly improving safety measures.”
