What They Say
Mike Blackman of ISE put out a statement with details of the organisers’ policies for the event which is still due to go ahead from 1st to 4th June this year. The organisation is looking at roadshows to get products in front of interested parties in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
- No penalty fees will be due for any withdrawals that are made before 5 March.
- Those exhibitors who are committed at a higher level than they may need, have the opportunity to reduce their commitment without penalty.
- Those companies that decide not to continue and have paid in part or full for ISE 2021 will have the option of a full refund of their monies or be able use this as a credit towards participating in other ISE events in 2021 or even as a deposit/payment for ISE 2022. This is about you and your success now and into the future.
- All exhibitors will retain their priority points from ISE 2020 and be able to participate in the rebooking process for ISE 2022 as dependent on their points and priority ranking.
- As promised before, all companies that exhibit at ISE 2021 will receive 2x the points for their participation at the in person Barcelona event.
- Any companies that participate in the digital part of ISE 2021 or any of the future local events will receive priority points based on the level of their investment.
- In the event you need to cancel hotel reservations, cancellation deadlines have been extended to 22 March.
What We Think
Separately, PPDS, the TPV company that markets Philips LFDs in Europe, said that it will give staff the option of whether they want to travel and will finalise its plans based on the result of those decisions.
I love ISE and that was the last event that I attended before the lockdown. However, despite the fact that I will be fully vaccinated in a few weeks, I’m not yet booking flights to Barcelona. There are too many potential twists and turns in terms of variants between now and then to make an informed decision. (BR)
