Ms Lucia Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd commented: “With the government announcing new guidelines for pandemic containment following these latest cases, we have made the decision to postpone the fairs to give certainty to the planning of our exhibitors and visitors. Our two related Guangzhou fairs, Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology and Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition, have just concluded successfully this week having been postponed earlier in the year, so we will now dedicate our efforts to finding a new suitable date for the Shanghai editions later in 2021. In the meantime, I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their understanding and continued support of the fairs.”
