All exhibitors at ITB Berlin 2020 currently have the option of communicating the events they have scheduled for their customers outside the exhibition grounds this week by publicising them under https://www.itb-berlin.de/de/Besucher/Events/. A first batch of events is already online. They include the Hotel Technology Forum on Tuesday, 3 March and Thursday, 5 March at Hotel i31.

Also on Thursday, 5 March, the Association of Event Organisers (VDVO) is inviting the meeting and event industry to the International Club Berlin. Instead of the originally scheduled ITB MICE Night, the VDVO is hosting a dialogue format on the current situation and the challenges facing the industry due to the coronavirus.
