Covid-19: ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE not running in 2021
On account of the continued high infection rates all over Europe, and with the decision by the federal and state governments on 25 November 2020, according to which holding trade fairs continues to be prohibited, we have to inform you today that we have to call off the ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE scheduled for March 2021 in Düsseldorf. Messe Düsseldorf will credit exhibitors with invoices issued. For details, please refer to the FAQs below.
Overview of the most important questions and answers:
Will exhibitors’ registrations be cancelled automatically?
All applications for participation in ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE addressed to Messe Düsseldorf direct will be cancelled.
Will exhibitors be refunded any payments already made?
Messe Düsseldorf will credit exhibitors for the amounts charged on all the invoices issued by Messe Düsseldorf (for stand packages, stand area, co-exhibitor fee, flat-rate media fee, AUMA fee). Please understand that processing refunds will take some time also due to short-time work.
We are unable to provide information on contracts between customers and third-party providers, as these have not been entered into with Messe Düsseldorf.
For all other questions please contact the person attending to you at Exhibitor Services
All parties work on the fastest solution possible. Due to the imminent holidays and the great number of enquiries we expect processing to be completed in Q1 of 2021.
Will you reimburse your customers for any costs incurred so far, as a result of booked air and rail tickets, hotel accommodation etc.
