Letter from the Director of the Salon on the recent Covid-19 crisis

Dear customers, partners and friends: First and foremost, the Empack and Logistics & Automation 2020 team hope that you and your environment are feeling well. In recent weeks and days, we have been experiencing a series of circumstances that we never thought we would have to face, neither as companies, nor as professionals, nor as people. Trade fairs and professional events are one of the economic sectors in which the health crisis is having the most immediate consequences and we are seeing how the calendar of national and international trade fairs is undergoing major changes, with events being postponed or even cancelled. We are convinced that now – more than ever – we have to be close to our customers, therefore, the entire Empack and Logistics & Automation 2020 team is 100% operational. You can contact us through our usual channels or check our contact details on our websites: www.logisticsmadrid.com and www.empackmadrid.com. We continue working to offer you the best events because we are convinced that, when this health crisis is behind us, trade fairs will once again become a key tool to reactivate the economy for 3 main reasons: After the forced social distancing, companies will need a professional environment in which to meet face to face with our customers again and to recover the personal contact that has not been possible for months. The fairs will also be a meeting point in which to reflect on the future: conferences, talks and success stories will help us to catch up after these months of forced hiatus and to be better prepared for the challenges of the future. The paradigm shift after this health crisis will probably bring new opportunities to diversify our offer (caused, for example, by changes in consumer habits) or new ways of relating and collaborating with suppliers and complementary companies. Our monthly newsletter (with more than 50,000 recipients), our social media profiles and our websites will continue to showcase exhibitor news and industry trends, continuing to connect the entire packaging and logistics value chain. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any help in this endeavour. Thank you all and we look forward to welcoming you soon at Empack and Logistics & Automation Madrid 2020. Best regards, Raquel Carboneras Director of Empack and Logistics & Automation Madrid raquel.carboneras@easyfairs.com
