CPhI Japan 2020 postponed on request of event attendees
Rescheduling will ensure all stakeholders can take part in a successful exhibition and conference
Informa Markets, the organiser of CPhI Japan, said the 2020 event will be postponed until a new date later in the year. The decision has been made after extensive consultation with key stakeholders and consideration of all alternatives. CPhI Japan was due to take place at the Big Sight Exhibition Centre in Tokyo on 16-18 March.
The event will be rescheduled due to the increasingly complex travel arrangements many of its attendees are experiencing as a result of COVID-19.
"The event is now in its 18th edition and we have always listened to the feedback of our exhibitors and attendees. Due to unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19, many felt that it will be difficult to travel to the exhibition at this time. We will work with our attendees and exhibitors so that we can deliver another successful event for everyone involved. We wanted to communicate this as fast as possible, and we will confirm the new dates imminently. I thank our partners for their continued support and understanding, and we express our solidarity with those affected around the world,” commented Christopher Eve, Managing Director, Informa Markets and UBM Japan.
