JEC World 2022 postponed to May

After thorough consultation with the exhibitors and partners of the event, JEC Group (Paris, France) has decided to postpone the 2022 edition of JEC World from its original March 8-10 date. The leading composites event will now take place May 3-5, 2022, at the same venue, the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre in France, as well as online via the JEC World Connect digital platform.

JEC World is “the place to be” for composites professionals from all over the world. The event brings together major global companies, innovative startups in the field of composites and advanced materials, experts, academics, scientists and R&D leaders. The event also offers a unique showcase of what composites can offer to various application sectors, from aerospace and marine, to construction to automotive, and what event organizers say is an unlimited source of inspiration for participants from these industries.

“We are fully dedicated to supporting the composites industry and to fostering its development via our events and media activities,” says Eric Pierrejean, CEO of JEC Group. “Exhibitors and partners are strongly supporting JEC World, their leading event, and want to meet in person in 2022 to activate business, share knowledge and highlight innovations. Postponing from March to May is a way to offer improved conditions to satisfy the industry requirements for such a trade fair as JEC World.”

The JEC World team has decided to postpone the event after a conducted survey conducted of its exhibitors and partners, confirming that a large majority is in favor of the new dates in May. As already planned, the three-day event will offer a digital platform, JEC World Connect, in parallel to the in-person event in Paris for an augmented digital experience. Content will also be available via the JEC Web TV after the show, in order to extend event reach.

“Our main concern is to create the best possible conditions for our participants for successful networking, inspiration and business success. With a postponement of eight weeks we can enable this and offer to the industry the event it deserves. Taking the decision now, after consultation of all exhibitors, was necessary to give them planning and preparation visibility,” adds Thomas Lepretre, VP events, sales and operations.
