Due to the increasing spread of covid-19 in Europe, Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH has decided to postpone the SMTconnect from 5–7 May 2020 to 28–30 July 2020. The venue remains the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre. Visitor tickets already purchased are valid for the new date.
"The dynamic developments around covid-19 in Europe require all exhibition organizers to continually assess the situation. We very much hope that we have acted in the interest of all parties involved with this postponement and that we can thus make a joint contribution to delaying the spread of covid-19 in Europe," stated Petra Haarburger, Managing Director of Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.

But while Friday the 13th may top Western superstition charts, the global calendar is sprinkled with its own unlucky legends.
