Today’s news sees the show postponed until Feb 2022! This could mean that Lamma ‘22 is the first major show in Europe since March 2020!

It would have been odd without John Deere and some other big names. Hopefully they will be able to put on a full show in 2022.

I wouldn’t be surprised if many re consider shows in general and come to some surprising decisions long term.

Maybe not for the big main brands, but very useful for up and coming manufacturers looking for contacts and to get their name out there

Very true. The most important thing is to ensure the customer base feels motivated enough to visit.
It’s a good pee up for all involved but do you think it really sells machinery? Genuine question. I understand the pee up is probably an important part of the building business relationships/ contacts mentioned above but it must be a seriously expensive do when you count the cost of it all.
Most trade shows I go to are poorly represented. certainly a percentage of the reps look absolutely hanging and sit in the back of the caravan waiting for 5 o’clock to come.

If some of the big players dont go surely this leaves it more open for the smaller companys. If i was a salesman for smaller brands id be tryin to get the company to offer show day sale prices to get some deals clinched

Not sure yet. Much depends on how the country develops over the Sept-Dec period. Another wave in this period would dent its chances but let’s see

Not a hope, look at the current situation, deaths and infection rates are very low yet the freedom road map is so drawn out that but by the time the winter flu infection comes around again normal weddings/ funerals/ events etc will still be banned!
I like your thinking however it’s crazy expensive so you need to get all the cash back ASAP. It’s also the big names that draw the wandering crowds and new customers . Sadly I can’t see it happening at all in 2022

Discussed this with the factory last night. So much depends on the vaccination campaign in Europe that is so far behind us Slovenia only 2.2m people are only 10% first dose so far! That puts the UK’s nigh 50% into some kind of perspective. The path forwards is very un clear. Hopefully we all know more by this Autumn and can make educated decisions by then. If Hannover doesn’t happen in March 2022, then Lamma is also “at risk” one would assume.

Will the uk not be completely vaccinated long before lamma 22 so why would it not go ahead?
