Vision 2013 canceled

The Vision Show will move to a biennial schedule next year, event organizer Messe Stuttgart announced. The show had been scheduled for Sept. 24-26, 2013, and will now take place Nov. 4-6, 2014. The decision was made after extensive analyses were conducted with Messe Stuttgart, the VDMA Machine Vision Association and key players in the machine vision industry. It is in line with international market developments, according to a vote by exhibitors.

“Through this decision, Vision is taking account of the request by many exhibitors,” said Patrick Schwarzkopf, head of the VDMA, the professional and promotional supporter of Vision. “They want to offer trade visitors a genuine raft of innovations. The biennial cycle provides the best conditions in this respect.”

The change means that the show can permanently take place in November in Hall 1 in the L-Bank Forum, Messe Stuttgart said.
