Start of the SPS 2021

Following a year of mainly virtual encounters, we have come to appreciate just how important personal contact and exchange between people is physically. The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic may be felt by all of us for some time to come, but gradually the whole world is returning to a new normality. The first trade fairs have already been held again and we are looking forward to welcoming you, after the virtual SPS Connect 2020, to the SPS 2021 in Nuremberg. In addition, the SPS 2021 will take place with a virutal extension as a hybrid event.

Currently, plans for the vaccines against Corona are in full swing. The start of the vaccinations in Germany is even expected in December of this year, at the latest in January 2021. These are encouraging prospects for the implementation of the SPS 2021. In order to provide all participants with the greatest possible safety, our protection and hygiene concept also applies to the SPS 2021. If the situation improves, e.g. after the introduction of a vaccine and less strict regulations apply, this will also be considered in the safety and hygiene concept of the SPS 2021. We will inform you regularly about possible changes or the possible omission of the protection and hygiene concept.

Looking back on the SPS Connect 2020

239 exhibitors presented products and services solutions from the world of smart and digital automation at the first edition of the SPS Connect.
