(IDEX Online) - One of Europe's biggest watch and jewelry trade shows - Inhorgenta Munich - has been canceled.
Last November organizers said they were postponing the event from February 2020 to April, but they've now decided to axe it altogether because of Covid concerns.
"The decision was taken in detailed consultation with the advisory board, as well as exhibitors, visitors and partners," said Messe Munchen, one of the largest exhibition companies in the world.
"Unfortunately, recent developments in connection with the coronavirus pandemic have not moved in the direction we had hoped. Far-reaching international travel and contact restrictions are still in place."
It has scheduled Inhorgenta Munich 2022 for 11 to 14 February, and says it is further developing its digital event Inhorgenta Trendfactory.
