Opening Remark
We have seen the world has gradually recovered into its normal. We have noticed that the tradeshows have started again. This is a good sign as the business can be rejuvenated. We hope that our readers would travel once again to the tradeshows and help to put some freshness into the industry.
We included the holidays for the countries like the United States, Hong Kong and the rest of them, so that you can avoid those dates for your business traveling and plan your stay more efficiently. For those holidays we colored them as the following:
US in Green
Hong Kong in Blue
France in Red
UK in Orange
Canada in Dark Green
Italy in Purple
You will find the remaining 6 months of the trade shows and exhibitions with the dates as confirmed. We will still catch up when dates are changed due to the circumstances.
