Major European Horticulture Event Cancelled for 2021

IPM EssenIPM Essen, which had been planned for Jan. 26-29, 2021 in Essen, Germany, has been cancelled. As much as organizers had planned for IPM Essen as a communication platform for the controlled-environment industry, there is still a great deal of uncertainty in view of the recent occurrence of COVID-19 infections in important markets.

However, Messe Essen is giving the industry a stage at the planned date of the event and, together with its partner associations, is organizing a top-level meeting between decision-makers and politicians. The next IPM ESSEN will take place at Messe Essen from Jan. 25-28, 2022.

As a leading trade fair for horticulture, IPM ESSEN is a trend-setting showcase for plant trends and product innovations at the beginning of the season every year. Thus, numerous market leaders had already confirmed their participation in the trade fair, and the demand for the live event experience and the personal exchange with business partners was also strong on the part of the visitors.

“The anticipation of IPM Essen was great, which made it difficult for us to decide to cancel the fair,” says Oliver P. Kuhrt, Managing Director of Messe Essen. “However, it is our responsibility to enable our exhibitors to plan their participation in the fair seriously. Against the background that many of our customers come from abroad and are increasingly insecure due to the difficult travel conditions, this is not possible at present.”
