GLOBAL FASHION AND EXHIBITION
April to June 2021
The world has been shut down for over a year now and this has affected many businesses and people’s lives, but this is far from over. From everywhere we look, every business we inspect, the impact is not only big but severe. We haven’t seen any business conference or meeting; all the traveling has been grounded and the hospitality industry is in shamble. Everything is done through tele-conference and carry out in virtual.
In this issue, we still try to list every trade show that we know and hopefully by the digital and virtual arrangement by the organizers, the market will still find them useful. Our heart is very heavy for the show organizers and we don’t know how long they can hold their position as it must be a very difficult period of them to have gone through in the last 14 months. Unfortunately, the future doesn’t look promising either.
We tried our best to provide all kinds of information and hope that they can be useful.
We will still list those public holidays in the selective countries for your reference. Although we can’t travel to those countries, they can still be used as a reference.
