Messe Düsseldorf GmbH is postponing ProWein 2020. In close coordination with all partners involved, the company will promptly discuss an alternative date in order to guarantee planning can reliably proceed. The postponement also affects the initiative “ProWein goes city” running parallel to ProWein.
In doing so, we are following the recommendation of the crisis management team of the German government to take into account the principles of the Robert Koch Institute when making a risk assessment of major events. On the basis of this recommendation and the recent significant increase in the number of infected persons, including in Europe, Messe Düsseldorf has reassessed the situation. Added to this is the uncertainty of numerous exhibitors and visitors at ProWein and the complicated travel situation, especially for international customers.
