SIMA is postponed but not cancelled

The effects of the coronavirus are still being felt and continue to spread, forcing people to avoid congregations, thus, conferences and trade fairs have been affected.

The International Real Estate Exhibition of Madrid (SIMA), which was scheduled between May 7 and 10, is but one of many trade fairs to have been impacted, causing for organizers to postpone the event to November 12 to 15.

Eloy Bohúa, General Director of Planner Exhibitions, said:

"The postponement of SIMA and SIMAPRO is the most responsible option that best preserves the interests of sponsors, exhibitors, partners, collaborators, and visitors."

SIMA joins the measures taken by Mipim, a major real estate fair in Europe, to be held in Cannes on March 10-13, has been postponed to 2-5 June 2020.

Europe is reinforcing its measures to control the virus and its effects, although markets have been sensitive to the consequences, they do not lose confidence in controlling the situation and postponing is the best bet in the current circumstance.
