RETRO CLASSICS® STUTTGART 2021: new date in February

Andreas Herrmann, Managing Director of RETRO Messen GmbH, regards thechange of date as an "inevitable necessity" which must be confronted as calmlyand professionally as possible: "In our capacity as the organiser, we are all in thesame boat. We therefore want to make the best out of the current situation andplay our part in ensuring that the trade fair can soon run normally again. In orderto take account of all interests, we must literally move slightly closer together. Thisis the only way to minimise the economic and organisational damage caused bythe corona crisis."

According to Herrmann, everything actually has a positive side: "Since the 2020season has largely fallen through, the classic car scene is looking forward witheven more excitement to next year – and welcomes the earlier date for RETROCLASSICS® STUTTGART in 2021. In addition, we have already had some goodexperiences with an early date. For example, the anniversary edition of RETROCLASSICS® in February this year was a success despite the start of the pandemic.This was confirmed by a large number of positive replies from exhibitors andvisitors. In order to be able to react properly to the dynamic health situation, wealso want to continue the good objective cooperation with the responsibleauthorities in 2021. However, the most important thing at present is to send a"clear signal" to the organisers and visitors: RETRO CLASSICS® 2020 in Stuttgartwas the last big event before the shutdown – and will also again open the drivingculture season in 2021!"
