The Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA), which owns and runs the MACH exhibition on behalf of the industry, has taken the decision to reschedule MACH from April 2020 to January 2021.
Given the spread of the Coronavirus, the MTA has decided that, in order to minimise the risks to visitors and exhibitors, and to ensure that the event is as positive as they deserve, MACH should be moved to 25-28 January 2021 in the same Halls, at the NEC.
This decision has not been taken lightly, but we believe that it is in the best interests of the industry and those who work in it. Our priority is, of course, the health and safety of the 30,000+ people who will visit and work at MACH. In addition, we believe that by moving MACH to January 2021 we are going to be able to offer a better experience for our visitors, and better value to you, our exhibitors, than by holding it in April 2020 under the conditions likely to be in place at that time.
We will carry forward your existing stand at the same size and position on the floorplan, within the same halls on the Atrium side of the NEC. As part of this, the NEC have agreed to carry forward any service orders you have placed or paid for with them (electrics, compressed air etc). The exhibition will run for four days with extended opening hours, meaning that the exhibition will be open for a similar time as had been planned in April. We are racing to finalise the details of the rescheduled show and revised paperwork will be issued shortly.
We believe strongly that this new date will benefit the event and provides the best possible platform for both exhibitors and visitors to do business at a time that the UK enters its post-Brexit transition phase.
