Due to the current global travel restrictions, International Expo Consults (IEC), the organisers of the DEAL exhibition has decided to host a show with virtual format in 2021. This virtual show will enable all the registered exhibitors of DEAL 2021 to participate in the show and avail all the benefits of connecting with the buyers globally.

Due to the pandemic, As several exhibitors from across the globe requested this year’s DEAL exhibition to be changed to a virtual show, IEC has decided to host the show on 6th, 7th and 8th September 2021. More details on the virtual show will be shared directly with the exhibitors in the upcoming weeks and will also be announced on all DEAL social media channels.

IEC CEO Sharif Rahman said: “DEAL - as it does every year - will bring innovative concepts within this virtual format as well, from the world over, which would include VR, arcade games, redemption games, payment concepts, simulation rides, inflatables among several others. Our primary objective with this virtual edition is to provide a solid platform during these challenging times for any company that wants to enter the market or introduce a new product relevant to the industry. This virtual show will be a launchpad for the brands that would be participating in the live in-person show on 28-30 March 2022.”

The last "in-person" DEAL show in 2019 had nearly 300 exhibitors, including 70 first-timers from over 40 countries. Due to the pandemic, the DEAL exhibition in 2020 and 2021 had to cancel the in-person exhibition. The DEAL exhibition in 2022 will be held on March 28-30. It is expected that after the pandemic, global manufacturers will be able to interact and communicate at this in-person exhibition once again. (2021/05/14)
