29. Central European Dental Exhibition CEDE 2020 will take place December 3-5 in Łódź. All confirmed exhibitor reservations are retained.

CEDE was originally to take place September 24-26 in Poznań, but the COVID-19 pandemic thwarted plans of the organisers, who decided to postpone the event and additionally change the location.

– In the current situation it is hard to assure anything, though we decided the end of the year could be a better time to organise our event. At the moment, there is a government ban in Poland to organise mass events until further notice, and the dental market has certainly suffered from the COVID-19 epidemic. It is difficult to say whether the situation will normalize by September. Why Łódź and not Poznań? CEDE's roots are in Łódź, for years we have been asked by exhibitors to return to this city. We hope that if the conditions allow, we will organise an event attractive to everyone. In September, CEDE will host the Virtual Dental Exhibition by CEDE (September 24-26). More detail on that to come in May. Nevertheless, we would already like to encourage you to take part in the project. VDE by CEDE will not be a virtual version of CEDE, available only to exhibitors, but a global enterprise. We plan to organise thematic and national pavilions. Everyone has a chance to present their offer in an original, adapted to the pandemic situation way – says Łukasz Sowa, managing director at Exactus, which has been the organiser of CEDE since 1991.

The organisers assert that all reservations made at CEDE 2020 in Poznań are transferred to CEDE in Łódź. However, they point out that due to the completely different infrastructure of the EXPO Łódź facility, a new arrangement of the pavilion will be made. Soon, exhibitors will be able to increase or decrease the registered stand area in the online form.

Change of date and location does not affect the pricing, which remains the same (available in A form in the exhibitor's panel). The exhibitor who registers by August 31, 2020 will additionally receive a virtual stand at the Virtual Dental Exhibition by CEDE on September 24-26, 2020.
