boot Düsseldorf show cancelled for 2022

The show will not go on in Germany. Due to the spread of the Omicron virus variant, Europe’s largest boat show and trade fair has been cancelled for 2022 due to the measures decided by the state government. 

 NRW Health Minister Karl-Josef Laumann explained: “We have to continue to be very careful at the moment. The omicron variant is spreading in a dynamic we do not yet know. But we have to act today. That is why we had already banned large soccer matches and sporting events with spectators in the current Covid Protection Ordinance. It is only logical that no large public trade fairs with many visitors from different regions and countries from all over the world take place in January either.”

Wolfram N. Diener,  President and CEO of boot organizer Messe Düsseldorf, stated: “The pandemic must be overcome as quickly as possible so that the trade fair industry can once again have planning security for exhibitors and visitors. It is therefore with a heavy heart that we have to announce that boot will not take place in January 2022. However, the decision of the state government is also in line with the wishes of many exhibitors who are very worried about participating in boot during the Omicron wave. I ask all those involved for their understanding and support so that we can get back to work together in full force in 2023. The heartfelt thank you of the entire boot Düsseldorf team goes to all exhibitors, associations and partners who have stood by our side all this time. I am sure that together we will head for a successful boot 2023, after hopefully overcoming the crisis.”
