About the event

COVID Update

We’ve just received news that IFA Berlin 2021 has now been cancelled due to the uncertainties of planning a live trade event in Germany. Government restrictions along with COVID-19 cases have made it impossible to host an in-person event of this size and do it safely.

Messe Berlin GmbH has decided to postpone IFA Berlin to early September, 2022. The latest dates have been finalized for the period September 2^nd - September 6^th at Messe Berlin. Organisers reassure guests that all safety precautions at the venue will be met in preparation for the tech exhibition. IFA Berlin 2022 is marked to be the big restart for the industry on a large scale.
