Worldbex, MIAS 2020 postponed

MANILA, Philippines — Worldbex Services International (WSI) announced its decision to postpone Worldbex and MIAS 2020 in response to the government declaring a state of public health emergency throughout the country.

The postponement was also in line with the Department of Health’s imposition of social distancing measures in the National Capital Region, which prohibits mass gatherings and events due to concerns related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The 25th Worldbex forum was supposed to be held from March 18 to 22, while the MIAS was schdeduled from April 2 to 5.

Following the recent prohibition on mass public gatherings, with direct implications for the trade shows, WSI had no other option than to make this decision.

Jill Aithnie Ang, managing director of WSI said:  “We are deeply saddened to have made the decision to postpone this year’s Worldbex and MIAS. Indeed, both of the shows have come to be such instrumental platforms for the local industry to grow and expand their networks across a wide range of trade opportunities.”

In the midst of all this, WSI is putting the health and safety of all attendees, exhibitors, and its employees at the top priority.

With the development of the current threat and challenges, the organizer will be on top of this situation and will continue to work towards realizing its prodigious aspirations for the local trade industries.
