The organiser of the Mecspe fair, Senaf, decided to postpone to June 18-20 the event originally scheduled for March 26-28 at the Fiere di Parma exhibition centre.

This decision was taken, says the organiser in a press release, "considering the agreement between the exhibition centres of Emilia Romagna and the offices of the regional government, given the current uncertainties regarding the measures to tackle the coronavirus, with the aim of protecting the involved people (exhibitors, visitors, organisation personnel, set-up and service staff) and indicating an appropriate timeline to all operators for re-scheduling their work commitments."

According to the organiser, the postponement of Mecspe will ensure, to over 2,300 exhibitors, the success of an event that in recent years has recorded a constant growth in terms of Italian and international visitors.
