IFA organizers have announced that the trade show has been canceled. The organizers cite "many uncertainties" as the reason for the cancellation. IFA plans to have a full-scale return in 2022. After being strongly adamant about hosting an in-person event this year, IFA organizers have announced that the trade show has been canceled. This comes after a full-scale return was scheduled this September. There simply are now too many uncertainties. Therefore, right now it has become near impossible for anyone to responsibly plan their participation in any trade show. IFA organizers were confident that the show would go on "with the world on course to emerge from the pandemic." Now they are backpedaling on their decision to the ongoing pandemic.
