Reed Exhibitions has announced that In-Cosmetics Global in Barcelona and In-Cosmetics Asia in Bangkok will not take place this year “due to the ongoing travel restrictions due to the pandemic”. They will instead revert to their usual slots next year, with the former taking place on 5-7 April 2022 in Paris, and the latter on 1-3 November 2022 in Bangkok.

Meanwhile, In-Cosmetics Latin America in São Paulo, Brazil, has been rescheduled from 22-23 September to 10-11 November 2021. Exhibition director Daniel Zanetti said that this was being done in order to give the country’s vaccination programme a further seven weeks to boost immunity”.

Earlier, Mack-Brooks Exhibitions had announced the postponement of Chemspec Europe 2021, which was scheduled to take place at Messe Frankfurt on 29-30 September 2021. It will now return to its late spring slot on 31 May-1 June 2022, at the same venue. Instead, an interactive networking event will take place on the original dates, as it did in 2020.
