It has been announced that Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2020 has been postponed and will now be held from the 11th to the 15th June 2020.

“The latest news concerning Novel Corona Virus in Italy have forced us to review our positions,” says Gianpiero Calzolari, President of BolognaFiere, which organises Cosmoprof Worldwide. “In agreement with the Regional Government of Emilia Romagna and with the Muncipality of Bologna, we have assessed the situation, and postponing the event is currently the most correct solution, to support Italian institutions engaged today in protecting our health.”

“The decision to postpone the event… is further evidence of our commitment to support the development of the cosmetic industry worldwide,” says Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof SpA. “In this way, we can offer to the over 3,000 exhibitors of this edition and to the 265,000 operators attending our exhibition every year a high-quality business event, as in the tradition of Cosmoprof. I would like to thank our exhibitors and our partners for their understanding in the latest weeks, due to the complicated scenario in which we are involved. Thanks to the collaboration of the entire industry, our event in June will be a key moment for our sector.”

The 2020 program and special initiatives will not undergo substantial changes. In particular, the activities outlined in recent months are guaranteed to optimize the business opportunities of the operators attending the event in Bologna.
