IFFA

No changes have been announced for IFFA 2022. The international meat processing trade show is currently its early planning stages with dates set for May 14th – May 19th, 2022. Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH intends to keep the upcoming IFFA as a live event, because no other alternative can achieve the success of trade shows and exhibitions. Hopes are that by then the coronavirus pandemic will be under control and larger events will be allows on the territory of Germany. The exhibition grounds at Messe Frankfurt are expected to comply with government regulations. You can expect extensive COVID-19 protective measures put in place.
