“APLF fairs are the platform where the global industry meets. The extended travel restrictions limit the possibility of the large number of buyers and exhibitors from all over the world to attend the fairs. After careful consideration and a thorough review of all factors impacting APLF fairs, we have decided to postpone the fairs to November. The vaccination progress in many countries has given us an encouraging sign that by November, the situation will be eased and worldwide travelling will be resumed. The well-being of our exhibitors, visitors, and industry partners is our top priority and we will implement additional safety measures like social distancing in the venue,” David Bondi, director of APLF said in a statement.
“In today’s challenging environment, APLF will keep the community connected through our digital channels. In the coming April 2021, APLF will launch a brand-new marketplace for suppliers to launch their collections, connect with buyers and accelerate business. This B2B marketplace offers well-rounded features and functions, and the best business opportunities for buyers and sellers. We will also organise various digital events to keep the conversations between buyers and sellers going,” Grace Lee, event director of APLF fairs said.
