Global Berry Congress 2020 is now to take place on 7-9 December 2020. This move is intended to give the global berry business as long as possible this year to deal with the impact of COVID-19 crisis and for it to come together ahead of the new marketing campaign that starts in the new year.
'We are confident that in six months Global Berry Congress can provide a moment for berry businesses both to share best practice on some of the lessons learned from the current coronavirus crisis and, crucially, to prepare for the sales and marketing campaigns from January 2021.'
'The gradual release from lockdown now underway in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe as well as significant travel restrictions that are in place all over the world make it impossible to hold to our current dates for Global Berry Congress at the end of June. However, we will organise a 2/3 hour berry business briefing session online on 23 June hosted by Mike Knowles to discuss the current state of the business, and will share more details very soon.'
'None of us can have known the impact of this global pandemic when Global Berry Congress was postponed in March. Our primary concern remains for the health and well-being of everyone who attends Global Berry Congress. We believe that these news dates of 7-9 December 2020 are in the very best interests of every delegate, speaker, exhibitor, and sponsor at Global Berry Congress and, of course, all our staff and suppliers.'
'Purchased tickets remain valid for the new event dates. We will resend you a confirmation email closer to the time and you will be able to pick up your new badge on site. We look forward to welcoming you to Rotterdam at the beginning of December.'
