"In view of the current situation, it is not possible to hold the event in its usual form," reads a recent press release. "It is extremely disappointing that the BOOT & FUN BERLIN 2020 but the close dialogue between exhibitors and visitors is currently not feasible," explained project manager Daniel Barkowski. "The level of bookings was excellent. However, given the current situation, we cannot offer exhibitors and visitors the event they are used to from us." The current pandemic and the associated restrictions to contain the Covid-19 coronavirus have forced a break this year.
