• Covid Advisory Group in place. https://show.ibc.org/ibc-advisory-group  This group meets monthly and then weekly in the run to the show. Latest update: 
• Trade shows continue to take place around the world safely and successfully. The majority are reporting good attendance. 
• Global Covid reports show a mixed pattern with cases rising in some countries and still falling in others. However, the number of hospital admissions and deaths remain low. Therefore, there are no social restrictions planned or on the horizon.
• Event safety protocols vary depending on the local rules. The latest IBC/EU protocols can be found at Your Safety & Covid-19 - IBC2022.  As reported in our last update, some attendees continue to wear a mask. The evidence so far shows that attendees and exhibitors are very mindful and respectful of individual views and the needs of others.
