We had sincerely hoped that HOST Istanbul 2020, which was due to take place in March and was then postponed until June due to COVID-19, could open up new markets for the industry, showcase the latest products and trends, and drive trade as the epidemic due to a close.
However, as a result of the decision of the Ministry of Trade, General Directorate of Domestic Trade dated April 20, 2020 and the postponement of the activities held in May and June 2020 after July 1, 2020 and taking into consideration the current progress of the pandemic, we feel that it will not now be appropriate for the show to take place in June 2020. In light of this we have taken the difficult decision to postpone HOST Istanbul 2020 until 25-28 March 2021.
The HOST Istanbul team have worked tirelessly to ensure a successful event, and will continue to share relevant content from our exhibitors via our social and online channels. Should you require any assistance sourcing a particular product or would like to contact any of the exhibitors due to take part please refer to our online exhibitor listings.
In a time with many uncertainties, it was important that we took the time we needed to make the right decision. We are now focusing our efforts on putting together a successful edition of ZUCHEX 2020, taking place from 10-13 September 2020.
We look forward to welcoming you from 10-13 September 2020 at the 31st edition of Zuchex Home & Kitchenwares Fair, where the latest trends and newest housewares from leading brands and manufacturers will be on display over the course of four days.
Kind regards,
