Paris, 29th June: Earlier this week, UFI – The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry announced its decision to cancel the 2020 UFI Asia-Pacific Conference and the Digital Innovation Forum which were both originally scheduled to be held in Macau in early March and were subsequently rescheduled in late August. The decision was entirely driven by the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and the travel restrictions affecting most Asian markets.

At the same time, UFI also announced that the UFI Asia-Pacific Conference will return to Macau in 2022, but before that in 2021, the UFI Asia-Pacific Conference will be held in Melbourne – marking the first time in the event’s history that it will be held in Australia.
