NORWALK, CT – May 8, 2020 – After careful consideration
and due to the escalation of COVID-19 in the United States, Reed
Exhibitions has announced today that the
next edition of Fastener Fair USA will now take place March 23-25, 2021
at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
Initially optimistic that the event could be held in late
July, as the pandemic has continued to escalate and the challenges it
has brought to the industry, it is clear that July is no longer a viable
option.
“This decision was made in response to unprecedented
challenges we are facing as an industry. We know this decision impacts
our exhibitors, attendees and stakeholders and was not made lightly”
said Bob Chiricosta, event director, Fastener Fair USA. “Our entire team
is passionate about continuing the long tradition of networking, new
sourcing and education. We are working on ways to bring our industry
together virtually throughout the summer and face to face in Cleveland
in March 2021.”
While there will not be a physical event in 2020, the
Fastener Fair USA team are finding new and different ways to facilitate
business connections through virtual platforms. Stay tuned for more
information on how to participate in these online options.
Randy Field, group vice president, Reed Exhibitions,
said, “We are grateful to and proud of our customers and the industry
who hung in there with the desire to deliver an event in 2020. Each of
them plays a critical role in making Fastener Fair USA an important
gathering for fastener manufacturing, distribution and end user
professionals. While we recognize and appreciate how important Fastener
Fair USA is to the industry, based on the current pandemic situation and
the safety of all our customers, we believe we made the right decision
to postpone Fastener Fair USA to 2021 at a time when the industry is
ready and able to get back to business.”
