WESTPORT, Conn. - Show management announced they have officially cancelled the 2021 AHR Expo that was to take place in Chicago. With roadblocks set in place by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and resulting current state and local restrictions that prohibit mass gatherings over 50 people, an in-person event will not take place in 2021.
“We’ve examined every scenario and questioned every roadblock to see how we might hold an in-person event in 2021,” show manager Mark Stevens said. “Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to present unpredictable challenges and other variables that are beyond our control. The safety of all our participants – attendees, exhibitors, speakers, employees, venue staff involved at every level – continues to be our top priority. With these barriers, along with state and local restrictions due to COVID-19, we have unfortunately exhausted all efforts to bring the show to Chicago in 2021.
