HONG KONG — The organizers of ISH China and CIHE (China International Trade Fair for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, Sanitation & Home Comfort Systems) made the decision to postpone the fair due to the global spread of the coronavirus, and the increasing number of travel restrictions now being put in place. Originally scheduled to be held from May 11-13, 2020, at New China International Exhibition Center, Beijing, the fair is jointly organized by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and CIEC GL events (Beijing) International Exhibition Co Ltd.
“While the situation has improved markedly in China, the growing number of cases in other countries and the resulting travel restrictions that are already in place, not to mention the further constraints that may arise in the next two months, led us to the decision to postpone ISH China & CIHE,” said Richard Li, general manager of Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd. “Especially given the large number of European companies that are represented at the fair, we felt it was the right decision to postpone the fair to give all parties concerned the confidence that it would go ahead with minimal disruption.”
