Diversified Communications, the organiser of the Integrate Expo, has announced that the show will be postponed, following uncertainty over a COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney.

The show will now run November 17-19 at ICC Sydney.

In a statement on the Integrate website, organisers wrote, in relation to the unfolding COVID-19 cluster:

“Integrate has been closely monitoring the situation and implications for the upcoming event, scheduled to take place next month (21-23 July) at ICC Sydney. In response to the recent developments and ongoing uncertainty, the difficult decision has been made to postpone.”

With Integrate 2021 originally due to take place in just four weeks, the organisers say that the health and safety of the community and limiting the threat of exposure was the greatest consideration, adding that while it was not a decision made lightly, it was a timely one as many Integrate exhibitors would soon be starting to meet crucial timelines in their event planning.  

“The duty of care to visitors, exhibitors, partners and staff is taken very seriously and this is the most appropriate action to ensure the best and safest show experience for everyone when the AV industry can come together later in the year.”

Although this is not the first time Integrate has been postponed, the team is confident that the event can return with the same strength and resilience shared by the manufacturing community.  

“Integrate continues to be grateful for all the support and looks forward to reuniting the industry in November 2021! “

Registration to attend Integrate 2021 remains open, and stand bookings can now be made for the November dates.
