Bau 2021 in Munich cancelled as physical trade fair

The Bau trade fair in Munich will not take place as planned from 11 to 16 January as physical trade fair. This is, according to the event organisers, the clear verdict from conferences between Messe München with advisory board and the board of trustees. Instead, from 13 to 15 January 2021, a hybrid format of the trade fair for architecture, materials and systems will take place.  The reason for the decision is the designation of more and more areas of risk throughout the whole of Europe and the relating travel restrictions.
Exhibitors will present themselves at the ICM International Congress Center Munich as well as in up to two trade fair halls, but forums and special exhibitions will also take place there. In the digital part of the event, talks and discussions from the forums will be available as live-streams and also as recorded videos. In addition, companies will have the opportunity to present their products in their own online sessions. In order for participants to meet up with each other, the hybrid format will also offer virtual networking modules. The digital part of this event is also expected to be an element of the physical Bau 2023  trade fair.
