FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Last December 3rd 2021, Alexandra Erdmann, IELA Board Member and Managing Director Swiss Expo Logistics interviewed Christoph Kamber, President Expo Event Association in Switzerland, to discuss the current situation of the Exhibition Industry in Switzerland.
01:05 How do you assess the current situation in the event industry in Switzerland?

01:57 How did the Alliance’s collaboration help the event industry re-open and launch face-to-face events? So we were allowed to hold one or the other event in Switzerland from late summer. Trade fairs also took place again in autumn. What do you think about that? How did the Alliance of the Event industry help?

03:28 Actually, directly from the government, where things or concerns are then passed on to the alliance of the event industry?

04:06 In your opinion, what is the most important factor in the reopening of trade fairs and events?

05:27 Which protocols has the Swiss government introduced to ensure that events can be run safely?

06:38 Are the organizers in Switzerland still planning on a national level or do you want to organize your events internationally again and do you think the exhibitors are already ready to travel?

08:12 Here in Switzerland there is a protective umbrella for events, can you give us 2-3 pieces of information? Until when is it valid? And what are we doing as an alliance of the event industry to extend the protective umbrella.

09:55 How do you see a possible 5th wave for our industry now?
