Many events that were to be held this spring have been either cancelled or postponed because of public health concerns over Covid-19. Hannover Messe and Düsseldorf-based Energy Storage Europe will only return in 2021, the latter between March 16 and 18 next year. Essen-based SHK, the largest show for heating and sanitation in Germany, has been rescheduled to take place in late summer, from Sept. 1 through 4, 2020.
The global impact of the coronavirus pandemic has also affected the Vancouver-based f-cell+HFC 2020, which has been pushed back to June 8 and 9, 2020 (Update: September 9 and 10, 2020).
The World Hydrogen Energy Conference 2020, originally scheduled to take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, was first moved to Istanbul, Turkey, following seemingly irreconcilable differences of opinion between IAHE and the local event organizer. But after Covid-19 began sweeping the globe, it was decided that the conference will not be held at all over the next two years. The next WHEC has been set for June 26 through 30, 2022.

The good news is, that we, my small team from the former Arno A. Evers FAIR-PR
had a first Virtual Fair already many years ago.
We created it alongside the formerly annual Hannover Fair in the year 2003.
It is, as all our global activities still online and free for all to see:
