Organizers of Performance Days, the trade fair for functional materials, have rescheduled the trade show from October 28-29, 2020 as visitors to the fair reported an overall drop in sales. The show will now be held from December 9-10, 2020 at the Messe München. Parallel to the countdown for the physical event, organizers will also create digital tools for public.

Due to a drop in their sales, stationary traders had less in-store and warehouse space for additional products. Additionally, buyers, designers and product developers were unable to work as they usually did. Rescheduling the show, allows visitors to reposition themselves, said Lena Weimer, Senior Marketing Manager of the trade show.

The Bavarian government has allowed trade fairs to be held in the country from September 1, 2020. According to the Performance Days organizers, the upcoming fair will meet the health, legal, safety and quality requirements. The Bavarian Ministry of Health will devise the required hygiene concept along with trade fair authorities.
