Eurovent Summit postponed to 2022

BELGIUM: The biennial Eurovent Summit has been postponed for a second time due to problems with the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak. 

Originally due to take place in Antalya, Turkey, in September 2020, the event had previously been postponed to October of this year. Now the association has announced that this date will also not be possible due to Covid-19. 

The next Eurovent Summit is now planned for 2022 in Antalya, with dates to be announced.  

Naci Sahin, outgoing Eurovent president and representative of co-organiser and Eurovent member Association ISKID, stated: “While this was not an easy decision to make, the health and safety of the participants is our number one priority. We believe that moving the event to 2022 is an opportunity rather than a setback. Seeing the increasing vaccination rates and the world slowly waking up and going back to normal, we are hopeful that further postponing the event will allow us to host a full-scale Eurovent Summit with all its features and perks.”
