In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, ITMA
ASIA + CITME 2020, originally slated to be held in October, has been
rescheduled and will now take place from 12 to 16 June 2021 at the National
Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC), Shanghai, China.
According to show owners CEMATEX and
Chinese partners, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT-Tex), China
Textile Machinery Association (CTMA) and China Exhibition Centre Group
Corporation (CIEC), the postponement is necessary due to the pandemic.
CEMATEX emphasized that this decision has
been made with the safety and health concerns of participants and partners in
mind.
Meanwhile, CTMA believes that the combined
show with the new exhibition dates would be timely when the global economy is
predicted to improve.
Keen
interest at close of application period
In spite of the pandemic, at the close of
space application, almost all the space reserved at NECC has been filled. The
show owners will create a wait list for the late applicants and if necessary,
to secure additional exhibition space from the venue to accommodate more
exhibitors.

solutions that will help textile makers to become more competitive.
