We officially inform you that VIV Asia, which was scheduled to take place on March 10-12, 2021, is postponed to September 22-24, 2021 at IMPACT, Bangkok, Thailand. Alongside VIV Asia, the newly co-located events, Meat Pro Asia and Free from Food Asia, originally planned for March, are now also taking place on September 22-24, 2021.

As previously mentioned within the survey message, global travel restrictions have remained and Thailand continues to enforce a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all visitors entering the country. Vaccines are not likely to be broadly distributed until early 2021. VIV Asia alone attracts more than 50,000 professionals with 70% of participants visiting from outside of Thailand. As organizers, we came to the conclusion that a high-quality show with an expected number of international buyers can come to fruition only by postponing the show until September 2021.

As result of the exhibitor survey outcome, we report that over ninety percent of the stakeholders agreed that the postponement of the event is the best solution and have therefore confirmed the decision to move their participation to September 2021, trusting that the global situation will improve by mid-2021.

VIV Asia 2021 is scheduled to take place at the same exhibition halls (Challenger 1-3) as previously planned. Additionally, Meat Pro Asia is confirmed to take place at Challenger 1 and Free from Food Asia at Hall 4. In the coming months, we will take all operational actions to move the event smoothly and provide an adequate preparation for all concerned stakeholders.

Although we trust that you understand the decision, we apologise for any inconvenience this situation might cause. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us shortly.
