Swissbau 2022 is postponed to the beginning of May
The critical pandemic situation is affecting the planning of major events: The Swissbau 2022 trade fair planned for January will be postponed until early May. The postponement also affects the SICHERHEITS Congress of Save AG, which will be held in parallel.
Swissbau 2022, originally scheduled for January 18-21, will be postponed to May 3-6, 2022. This was announced by the organizers with reference to the current pandemic situation. The canton of Basel-Stadt withdrew the exhibition's permit in accordance with the current Covid-19 ordinance. "Due to the current COVID-19 situation, the conditions for official approval of Swissbau in January 2022 are no longer met," Rudolf Pfander, brand director of Swissbau, wrote to the media. "This decision is understandable, but disappointing. We are enormously sorry that we are all being stopped in the final spurt," Pfander continued. However, in initial discussions with leading exhibitors from all sectors, he said, there was clear support for postponing the event until next spring, despite the great disappointment.
SECURITY Congress is also postponed
This makes it clear: Swissbau 2022 will be postponed and will now take place in Basel from Tuesday, May 3 to Friday, May 6, 2022. The postponement also affects the concurrently held SECURITY Congress, the B2B platform for safety and fire protection. As organizer Markus Good of SAVE AG confirmed in response to our inquiry, the congress will also be postponed to May 3-6. "Slight program changes due to this postponement are reserved," says Markus Good. However, the concept remains the same: In a total of seven half-day modules, current topics from risk management, building and corporate security, and fire protection will be addressed.
