The Exhibition Industry has been hit especially hard by the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and that is an understatement.
First of all from all of us at Production Prints, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to everyone affected by this black swan event. It’s not the first coronavirus in recent memory to have an economic impact (like SARS or MERS), but this one is different.
From loss of life, to prolonged quarantines and the vast economic damage, this is the biggest pandemic of it’s kind in our lifetimes. While a global effort is underway to rein this in, we wanted to pull together resources from multiple sources as a collection of links and information that is specific to the Exhibition and Event Marketing Industry.

We have been keeping a running list of most upcoming trade shows that have either been cancelled, postponed, re-scheduled or are continuing as planned.
