FeuerTrutz trade fair and congress go digital in 2020

Looking to the future together

NürnbergMesse and FeuerTrutz Network have jointly decided not to hold FeuerTrutz 2020 as a physical event at the usual venue in Nuremberg. Instead, parts of the trade fair and parallel Fire Protection Congress will take place in virtual form. This decision was ultimately based on the results of an exhibitor survey, which revealed considerable reservations about an on-site event due to the unpredictable developments of the coronavirus pandemic. The many in-depth personal discussions, numerous forums for knowledge transfer and professional development and live demonstrations of fire protection solutions are what make this trade fair so distinctive and the special character of the event would be lost under the current restrictions. In addition, declining investment confidence due to the current economic situation and international travel restrictions are making it difficult for people to plan and prepare their participation in such events.

The survey revealed that most exhibitors were in favour of a digital alternative to allow them to still use FeuerTrutz as an industry platform in 2020, as there is still a substantial need for personal discussions and information. This is why NürnbergMesse and FeuerTrutz Network are already working intensively to develop a platform for a virtual trade fair and congress format. FeuerTrutz 2020 will take place under a common virtual roof that enables congress delegates, trade fair visitors and exhibitors to participate fully and successfully at the event and provides an interactive online experience for all target groups.

So please make a firm note of the dates in your calendar, because the fire protection community will be meeting for the first time online on 30 September and 1 October 2020!

Current events are creating unprecedented challenges for us all.
The whole world is going through a turbulent period, with dynamics no-one can calculate. COVID-19 is spreading around the world, and we are all being called on to avoid all social contact as much as possible. Health as our highest good is endangered as rarely before and must therefore be protected.

Take care of yourself and stay healthy!
