BREAKING: Next week’s IBC Show 2021 in Amsterdam is now cancelled
In what comes as a complete surprise to absolutely no one, and after having announced only a week ago that the show must go on, IBC 2021 scheduled to begin in just over a week in Amsterdam has been cancelled. Citing the “growing concerns about the COVID-19 situation in The Netherlands”, which show organisers say have deteriorated over the last week, the show has now been cancelled.
They go on to say that feedback from IBC exhibitors and visitors has also aided in their decision to cancel the show – which isn’t much of a surprise given how many companies had already pulled out and the number of visitors either unwilling or unable to travel to The Netherlands right now due to government lockdown restrictions recently put in place.

NAB has been rescheduled from its usual date in April to October 9-13th at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, replacing the usual NAB New York shot at the Javits Center. PhotoPlus, due to take place at the Javits Center in October has also been cancelled.

This year, NAB has been rescheduled from its usual date in April to October 9-13th at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, replacing the usual NAB New York shot at the Javits Center.
Sony, however, has announced that due to the ongoing COVID-19 Delta variant, Sony has decided to pull the plug and will not be attending in person at next month’s NAB Show. They also won’t be appearing at the audiovisual trade show InfoComm 2021 in Orlando, Florida, either.
New York’s PhotoPlus 2021 expo has been cancelled over COVID-19 concerns
Perhaps not surprisingly, PhotoPlus 2021 has been cancelled. Originally scheduled for September 30th until October 2nd in the usual Javits Convention Centre in New York, it’s been pulled with just three weeks notice. Organisers state that this is “due to developments regarding the ongoing progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and related company-imposed travel restrictions”.
The news was just sent out to press, exhibitors and attendees via email, and they say that for exhibitors who have made deposits for the in-person event, options will be provided in the coming days. For attendees who might have already booked flight and accommodations, though, no mention has been made for those people who might have now lost their money.
