Tire Technology Expo postponed

UKi Media & Events, the organiser of Tire Technology Expo has postponed this year’s show in Hannover “due to the current rapid escalation of the Omicron variant of Covi-19 throughout Europe.” The 2022 edition will now take place 18-20 May at the Deutsche Messe, Hannover, Germany.

Tony Robinson, CEO and show founder, UKi Media & Events commented: “We are making the change in order to ensure a safe, comfortable, confident and productive event for all in 2022. Our aim is to enable delegates, speakers and all participants, including exhibitors, to enjoy the show in the early summer when many of the complications associated with Covid-19 are less impactful. Based on everything we have seen in the last two years, a lower risk of Covid-19 transmission in the warmer months is the most significant benefit of the six-week postponement, along with easier travel and hopefully no requirement for mask-wearing or other restrictions”.

Robinson concluded by reiterating his support for the show: “I remain totally committed to ensuring its success and benefits for all as Europe’s once-a-year, all-embracing tire design and tyre manufacturing showcase.”
