Due to the continuing worldwide COVID-19 crisis, the management teams from the Parantez Group and the VICTAM Corporation have decided to re-schedule IDMA and VICTAM EMEA from March to May 2021 at the Istanbul Expo Center in Istanbul, Turkey. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), as of September 2020, there are 176 potential vaccines currently being developed in several countries worldwide. With the effect of the vaccine in the coming year, we foresee that the pandemic will ease, travel bans will end and flights will be much easier. Postponing the event to May 27-29th, 2021, will give all stakeholders room to breathe and pay attention to other vital issues. Our mission is to present a strong and value-adding event to the industry with high benefits for all parties involved. Therefore, we believe it is the right decision for the market and we will come back stronger together in 2021.
