Xylexpo Announces New 2020 Dates
Xylexpo, the premiere Italian woodworking trade show that sees visitors from around the world, will move away from its traditional date in May due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The show will be held November 10-13, 2020 at Fieramilano, Italy. Admission is free to those in the industry who pre-register.
“This is going to be a very different edition from those we have been used to, but it will allow the entire supply chain to meet again and look ahead, after missing a key event for wood and furniture technology,” Lorenzo Primultini, president of Acimall, the Italian woodworking technology association, who own the exhibition, remarks.
