Fachpack, the European trade fair for packing, technology and processes, will take place in line with its regular schedule from 28 to 30 September 2021, either on site at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg/Germany with a digital add-on or as a purely digital industry event. “To be able to react flexibly and at short notice to the pandemic situation, we have devised a dual-track event concept that will allow our customers and us to reliably plan ahead for Fachpack 2021,” explains Heike Slotta, Executive Director at NürnbergMesse.

Specifically, the dual-track trade fair concept will take the following form: Track 1 will focus on Fachpack 2021 as a physical event with a well-considered hygiene concept and a new digital add-on, so that visitors affected by travel restrictions can still take part in. If necessary due to the pandemic situation, the organizers will switch to Track 2 and offer the packaging sector a purely digital event with new and exciting features. “This means that we are prepared for all eventualities and can guarantee that the packaging community will be able to have its much longed-for gathering at the end of September,” Heike Slotta continues.
