Here's the message from the organisers in full:
We have been closely monitoring the situation created by the impact of Covid-19 on whether ITW 2020 could safely and effectively run in Atlanta next month.
It is clear that although there are some parts of the world where the crisis is at a different stage, bringing thousands of people together next month would be irresponsible even if travel restrictions made it possible.
While we are sorry for the disappointment that being unable to meet face to face in Atlanta will bring, we are delighted to announce that we will be transitioning to a fully online event.
ITW Virtual Event will take place on 15 June to 18 June 2020 so keep your diary free and we will be in touch with more information very soon. As a sneak preview, we can confirm your favourite ITW features will be there: you’ll be able to network with existing customers as well as make new contacts, keep up to date with the latest market insights and share details of your product launches at our virtual exhibition and much more!
We sincerely appreciate all the support that our customers, partners and team have given during the recent uncertainty and we are excited to be able to welcome you all to our virtual ITW.
We are pleased to announce that ITW 2021 will take place in its new home, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, MD near Washington DC, from 1 June to 4 June 2021 so SAVE THE DATES in your diary now.
