The cancellation of the ITB2020 does not mean there are no networking opportunities. Several planned events with GEN participation are going digital and for those that were #strandedinBerlin a website was quickly set up for meeting up.
So, out of the crisis, opportunities arose… and we are curious to see if they lead to permanent new ways of doing things; with less CO2, more time, truly global and accessible!
Here are some of the digital events, which will partly be available as recordings, too. We will keep you updated:

Furthermore, the fair has also established the hashtag #whatwewantedtosayatITB for news, presentations and conversations in social media. And for those who read German, the traditional “FVW Daily” is available as an e-paper too: https://www.fvw.de/reisevertrieb/news/virtuelle-itb-jetzte-paper-dailylesen-206726
However, let´s save the date 10-14 March, of ITB Berlin 2021!
