The inaugural edition of Hanoi Wood that was originally expected to happen from April 28 to 30, 2020 has been postponed in the light of the COVID-19 situation. Due to the sudden health emergency the organisers have decided to postpone the exhibition to January 20, 2021 for the safety and well-being of exhibitors, sponsors, delegates, trade attendees and staffs. The trade fair is scheduled at the International Centre of Exhibition (I.C.E), Hanoi.
As the growing uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation develops, the postponement of Hanoi Wood will help the industry’s movers and shakers; from top exhibitors to buyers to be given time to participate. The sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus have affected the entire industry. Companies have come together to decide on limited functioning without affecting the expectations of the clients. Maximum use of technology has been embraced and remote functioning is promoted in this situation. Amidst the health emergency environment the organisers have decided to adjourn the event for the time being.
Hanoi Wood is the platform to network with industry peers and experts from across the various sectors of the wood and woodworking industry so as to help visitors gain insight on how best to penetrate the Vietnamese wood market.
Participants will also be able to bear witness to the latest industry innovations, and gain valuable insight from technology experts and key decision-makers. Hanoi Wood 2020 is jointly organised by Binh Duong Furniture Association (BIFA), Vietnam Timber and Forest Product Association (VIFORES), and Panels & Furniture Group of wood magazines – all respected pillars of the timber and woodworking sector.
