After thorough consultation with the exhibitors and partners of the event, JEC Group has decided to postpone the 2022 edition of JEC World.
The world’s leading composites event will now take place from May 3-5, 2022, at the same venue Paris Nord Villepinte, as well as online via the JEC World Connect digital platform.
“We are fully dedicated to supporting the composites industry and to fostering its development via our events and media activities,” said Eric Pierrejean, CEO of JEC Group. “Exhibitors and partners are strongly supporting JEC World, their leading event and want to meet in person in 2022 to activate business, share knowledge and highlight innovations. Postponing from March to May is a way to offer improved conditions to satisfy the industry requirements for such a trade fair as JEC World.”
The JEC World team has decided to postpone the event after conducting a survey of its exhibitors and partners, confirming that a large majority is in favour of the new dates in May. As already planned, for three days, the event will offer for the first time a digital platform, JEC World Connect, in parallel to the ‘in-person’ event in Paris for an augmented digital experience. Even after the show, via the JEC Web TV, unique content will be available to extend the reach of the event.
“Our main concern is to create the best possible conditions for our participants for successful networking, inspiration and business success,” added Thomas Lepretre, vice-president events, sales and operations. “With a postponement of eight weeks we can enable this and offer to the industry the event it deserves. Taking the decision now, after consultation of all exhibitors, was necessary to give them planning and preparation visibility.”
