Munich Fabric Start and Bluezone are relocating to a more spacious venue to help ensure social distancing. The Fall/Winter 21-22 event will move from the Munich Order Center (MOC) to Messe München-Riem. Messe München-Riem, located approximately 10 miles from MOC, has ground-level exhibition halls, numerous spacious entrances and loading gates, as well as ground-level parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the halls. The fairground is accessible by public transportation. The organizers have drawn up a concept that will span four halls in the interim location with a total area of approximately 485,000 square feet.

MFS and Bluezone will be among the first physical events to take place since the global pandemic. Trade shows will be held in Bavaria as of September 01, taking into account necessary protections against infection.

The new requirements entail numerous structural, organizational and personal measures that are necessary for smooth and safe trade fair operations. Due to the site restrictions in the MOC, many of these mandated precautions cannot be adequately implemented in the traditional location.
