It turns out the corona virus now caused the Musikmesse to be postponed.
When the circumstances will be safe enough again is anybody’s guess.

That's a shame. I was reading yesterday that Superbooth was going ahead; "As long as there is no official ban by the authorities, we have decided to keep
on working on the finalization of this year’s Superbooth" (taken from their official statement regarding coronavirus and the event https://www.superbooth.com/en/).
I've lost work due to a rather large event I was contracted to work on being cancelled. It's really taking the fun out life even without contracting the virus.

It’s a shame, yes, but I do think it is a sensible decision given the circumstances.
I would not be surprised if Superbooth also ended up being postponed or even canceled.

Yeah, you know I want superbooth to happen, mark, but I question the wisdom of going ahead. No population of human has been exposed to this particular type of coronavirus, so it will be worse than most flus and spread quick. It looked bad enough that they canceled the Geneva Motor Show, which is a big deal.

Yep, Superbooth also cancelled, a wise decision given the circumstances, but sad to see so many exciting tradeshows cancelled.
I’m sure the manufacturers will come up with online presentations of their new products but it is not the same as various people taping their own videos of new products and interviewing the demonstrators.
Really sad to see this happening, this rotten virus causes a lot of damage on all levels.
