“Due to yesterday’s prognosis from the German government about the further foreseeable COVID-19 measures for the coming weeks and our subsequent talks with the responsible authorities, it is becoming clear that the important planning security we need to hold an event at the beginning of March 2021 is unfortunately not yet guaranteed. We have therefore decided at short notice to postpone the dates of the next physical edition of Gallery SHOES & Fashion.”
Ulrike Kähler
Managing Director of Igedo Company
Originally scheduled for 7 – 9 March 2021, Gallery SHOES & Fashion will now be taking place after Easter, from 18 – 20 April 2021, at the Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf. The corresponding Showroom Concept has been moved to 16 – 20 April 2021.
“We believe that this is the best service that we can offer to the industry at this time to ensure that we are able to get at least one physical get-together off the ground in the first half of 2021,” continues Ulrike Kähler.
This announcement does not affect the digital version of Gallery FASHION & Shoes that Igedo Company is organising at the end of January 2021 – the digital forum will run for longer than usual from 28 January until 15 February 2021, including a virtual line-up of accompanying events. “This will ensure a seamless presence for our partners and offers the best possible presentation alternative amid the current situation,” sums up Ulrike Kähler.
