InfoComm Europe cancelled

Bernd Aufderheide, Executive Vice President of Koelnmesse, commented: “It was not easy for us to arrive at the decision to end our cooperation ahead of schedule. However, the differences between the two partners’ goals made it impossible to create a joint concept for the event that would fulfill the requirements of the market. We are therefore going our separate ways by mutual consent, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank ICIA for our many years of cooperative partnership. Koelnmesse will, of course, continue to provide the international AV sector with an excellent business and communication platform. Details will follow shortly.”

“It is a tribute to our good working relationship with Koelnmesse over the years that we have arrived at this mutually acceptable agreement to discontinue InfoComm Europe this November”, says Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., Executive Director of ICIA. “Koelnmesse has been a valued partner and we wish them well in their future endeavors. With this agreement ICIA will soon announce the details of our 2004 trade fair in Europe.”
