Due to the worldwide emergency caused by the Coronavirus (Covid-19), the entire European fair calendar is subject to changes and postponements. The Management of Proposte has considered all possible solutions in order to implement the best strategy in the face of the emergency and has come to the conclusion that shifting the 2020 dates to September is the best choice. President Piercarlo Viganò explained the decision as follows: “We started with the common intention of confirming the April date to give a sign of positivity and continuity to the worldwide market. The situation has evolved on a day-by-day basis, both internally and internationally. The strong reduction in air traffic and the cancellations of flights to Italy ordered by some governments and airlines has led us to a forced choice. Therefore, we have decided to postpone the event to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to visit our exhibition in full tranquility and continue their business as usual. It is a decision we have taken for reasons of force majeure, but it is certainly the best solution for the 2020 edition of Proposte in this difficult year”.
The choice made by the Board of Proposte will therefore make it possible to give continuity to our international event devoted to furnishing fabrics and curtains and to allow exhibitors to present their collections to the traditional public of Proposte, that is made of a rich number of professional and qualified operators.
