5th Organic Lifestyle EXPO and 1stSDGs Lifestyle Forum 2020
[Notice of changes]
Thank you for your continued support for the Organic Lifestyles Exhibition/OLE organizedby Organic Forum Japan.
Many companies are eager to return to normal business as soon as possible and are
already planning marketing activities. This includes participation in domestic andinternational trade fairs as exhibitors or business visitors.
In Japan the number of people affected by the coronavirus is decreasing. Nevertheless, as aprecaution the government had extended the state of emergency until the end of May. Sincemany prefectures have few coronavirus cases, the state of emergency will probably be lifted
there (like in Germany) and only recommended basic precaution measures will continue.
The nationwide status of emergency was lifted on 26th May. Since then normal life isgradually returning to normal with adequate caution to avoid a second wave.
In April and May we have conducted a survey among Japanese companies which have inthe past participated in trade fairs. From the feedback we learned that they all hope that
trade fairs will continue soon, perhaps by autumn 2020 and then many companies willprobably participate again.
Since it is difficult to predict the further development, we have decided to postpone thisyear's 5th Organic Lifestyle EXPO / 1st SDGs Lifestyle Forum 2020 by one month asfollows:
・Previous scheduled dates: September 17th (Thursday) to 19th (Saturday), September
2020
・ New dates: October 15th (Thursday) to 17th (Saturday), 2020
・ Venue: Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsuchokan 2nd to 5th floor
In line with other exhibitions and events scheduled for this year the 5thOrganic Lifestyle
EXPO and the 1st SDGs Lifestyle Forum 2020 will take all necessary safety measures andrecommended precautions. We have prepared the action schedule below and will continue
PR and sales promotion.
With your support we want to appeal to Japanese and foreign exhibitors and visitors thatafter the corona crisis is under control the world market, business and daily life will gradually
return to normal. We appreciate your cooperation and support in developing the organic
lifestyle business and achieving the goals of the SDG.
