FHA-HoReCa Postpones July Event

Informa Markets, organiser of FHA-HoReCa has taken the decision to postpone the event that was to take place from 13 – 16 July 2020 at the Singapore Expo to a later date given the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic being felt throughout the global hospitality and tourism industries.

ProWine Asia (Singapore) 2020, co-organised by Messe Düsseldorf Asia and Informa Markets, and due to be co-located with FHA-HoReCa in July, is similarly postponed.

FHA-HoReCa will announce new dates in the very near future and will be in touch with all exhibitors and attendees to provide flexibility when planning for their future participation.

For over 40 years, FHA has built a strong, collaborative network and cultivated many meaningful relationships. The decision to postpone FHA-HoReCa is one that is absolutely necessary amid these unprecedented times.

We would like to thank all FHA-HoReCa participants for trusting us to take the right decisions for this hugely important event and we do so with your very best interests in mind. We recognise the importance of maintaining business as usual in this climate, and with this in mind we are continuing to work on new ways to stay connected, bring greater value to the FHA community, and importantly, be well positioned as the industry pivots to recovery.

Yours sincerely,

Martyn Cox
Event Director | Hospitality, Food & Beverage – Singapore
