A STATEMENT FROM REED EXHIBITIONS – ORGANISERS OF IN-COSMETICS EVENT:

LONDON, July 01 2020: in-cosmetics Global, Latin America and North America 2020 postponed.  in-cosmetics Asia 2020 going ahead.

Speaking about the announcement, Cathy Laporte, Portfolio Director at Reed Exhibitions, said: “Over 80% of in-cosmetics Global attendees are international from countries at different stages of the global pandemic and with varying government advice and travel restrictions. We have therefore decided to postpone in-cosmetics Global 2020 to 13-15 April 2021. To ensure minimum logistical impact for all participants, we will hold the event in Barcelona (same hall/venue) and not in Milan, as originally scheduled for 2021.

With COVID-19 pandemic worsening across the Americas, we do not consider it safe at this stage to organise a face-to-face exhibition. We are therefore postponing in-cosmetics Latin America to 22-23 September 2021(same hall/venue) and cancelling our North American event for 2020.

With the improving COVID-19 situation in Asia, business recovery in the region and the ongoing discussions to re-open borders for business travel, as it stands we do not plan to postpone or cancel the event in Asia.  in-cosmetics Asia will therefore take place on the original dates of 3-5 November at BITEC Bangkok, Thailand. We will implement health and safety measures recommended by WHO and local authorities, with your wellbeing remaining at the heart of our decision-making.

Whilst we haven’t been able to hold any live events so far this year, our aim is still to keep the  industry connected at this time. Following the launch of in-cosmetics Connect last month, in-cosmetics Virtual will take place in October 2020. The focus will be on helping worldwide suppliers connect with personal care creators from Europe and the Americas.”
