Preparations continuing as planned for Spielwarenmesse 2022

The organiser of Spielwarenmesse 2022 has today (17 December) reaffirmed that the event will be going ahead, with the majority of exhibitors and visitors keen to meet up in person.

Spielwarenmesse eG said that the majority of exhibitors and trade visitors have ‘expressly backed’ the show going ahead from 2-6 February 2022 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre.

The company this week undertook a survey, prompted by the increasing number of companies asking for information on the current situation in Germany due to the pandemic, and needing to know if they could safely plan their participation in the trade fair.

“Thanks to the latest decisions taken by the Bavarian government and the improving pandemic situation in Bavaria, we can continue as planned with our preparations for the trade fair,” said Christian Ulrich, spokesperson for the executive board of Spielwarenmesse eG.

The rules continue to allow events and focus on boosters rather than testing. 15 days after having received a third vaccination, participants will no longer be required to get tested if the event is still subject to 2G+ requirements in February – which otherwise means the organisers would only be able to grant access to those who were previously considered fully vaccinated or recently recovered and can produce evidence of a recent negative antigen test.

Other trade fairs in Germany have successfully managed a relaunch since the start of the pandemic – with Spielwarenmesse eG saying that this proves that they can be held successfully under the restrictions in place.

Christian continued: “The intensive and constructive discussions with industry representatives over recent days prove just how highly the Spielwarenmesse is valued as a networking and order platform. We will do everything we can to give them what they have asked for – a real trade fair experience in safe conditions.”
