ILM have confirmed its September edition: “We are very optimistic and excited because the fair will take place, as per schedule, on the usual date. Of course, we are going to implement all necessary measures with regard to health, sanitation and safe social distancing, which will apply to exhibitors and visitors. At this point, nothing can possibly hinder a great and successful edition”, commented Arnd Hinrich Kappe, Chief Manager of the Offenbach Messe.

According to La Conceria the fair organizers carried out a survey with both exhibitors and visitors and the conclusion seems clear as leather trade operators consider the scheduled date to be appropriate.

In line with such feedback, ILM announced the 2021 agenda with the exhibition scheduled to take place from the 6^th to the 8^th of March (summer 2022-2023) on then from the 4^th to the 6^th of September (winter 2022-2023): “Such dates, scheduled at the beginning of March and September, traditionally proved to be very successful and rewarding, as they suit the whole industry”, concluded Kappe.
