China refrigeration show rescheduled to August

CHINA: The China Refrigeration Expo 2020, postponed due to the COVID-19 epidemic, will now take place in August in Chongqing.

Originally scheduled to take place from April 8-10 in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak, the rearranged event will take place 900km away at the Chongqing International Expo Center from August 19-21. 

The organiser says it will implement the country’s epidemic prevention and control policies “in earnest”, and work closely with exhibitors and relevant organisations, “so as to deliver the industry a safe, successful and productive event at the special moment of the global fight against the pandemic”.

China Refrigeration was expected to attract over 60,000 visitors from all over the world.
