Interclean Amsterdam - which had been postponed from May to this November because of Covid-19 - will now not take place as a live event in 2020. Instead, the organiser RAI Amsterdam will host a virtual version from November 3-6.

"This decision is disappointing for all of us, especially as RAI Amsterdam is ready to organise Interclean Amsterdam Covid-secure and fully in line with all health and safety guidelines," explains Bas Dalm, executive vice president exhibition and sales at RAI Amsterdam.

"We have worked tirelessly to adapt all facilities and protocols to enable events to be held in a safe, responsible and hospitable manner. But as the situation continues to evolve - and many of our international exhibitors and visitors have been forced to cancel their plans to participate at Interclean due to market conditions and travel restrictions - we feel the show can no longer deliver the quality expected of Interclean."

Dalm added that the event will become a virtual experience this year. "By organising the virtual event from November 3-6, we plan to continue to play a vital role in supporting the industry to get back on track, wherever we are able.

"Online educational sessions with different themes will complement each other and are available for everybody throughout the day as well as the possibility to visit companies, plan meetings and socialise with peers."
