NürnbergMesse And FeuerTrutz Network Announce The FeuerTrutz 2020 Trade Fair Will Go Digital In 2020

NürnbergMesse GmbH and FeuerTrutz Network have jointly decided not to hold FeuerTrutz 2020 as a physical event at the usual venue in Nuremberg. Instead, parts of the trade fair and parallel Fire Protection Congress will take place in virtual form.

FeuerTrutz 2020 goes digital

This decision to go digital with FeuerTrutz 2020 event was ultimately based on the results of an exhibitor survey, which revealed considerable reservations about an on-site event due to the unpredictable developments of the coronavirus pandemic.

We very much regret not being able to welcome the fire protection sector in person this year"

“We very much regret not being able to welcome the fire protection sector in person this year,” said Petra Wolf, member of the Management Board of NürnbergMesse GmbH, in a joint statement with Günter Ruhe, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director at FeuerTrutz Network and Stephan Schalm, Managing Director of FeuerTrutz Network.

Interactive digital trade fair and congress concept

The joint statement released by NürnbergMesse GmbH and FeuerTrutz Network added, “We would like to specifically thank all participating industry representatives for the numerous candid and constructive discussions we have had with them in recent weeks that helped us make this difficult decision.”

The statement further reads, “The interest in an alternative digital format underscores the importance of FeuerTrutz as an important industry platform for establishing and expanding business relationships. Our focus now is on finalizing and implementing an interactive digital trade fair and congress concept.”

The next regular edition of FeuerTrutz trade fair is scheduled to take place at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg (Messezentrum Nuremberg), in Nuremberg, Germany on the 23rd and 24th June, 2021. FeuerTrutz Network enjoys great popularity as an industry platform for all those involved in fire protection, while NürnbergMesse has established and proven expertise in the security field.
