StocExpo, the international trade fair dedicated to tank storage, will take place from 23rd
to 25th May in Rotterdam.
Originally scheduled for March 2022, the international exhibition for the tank storage industry StocExpo has been officially postponed to 23 - 25 May 2022 and will take place at the Ahoy in Rotterdam (Netherlands).
The organisers of the trade fair have decided to postpone the event after many consultations with the main partners, the exhibitors and other industry players, as a result of the recent strict measures and travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
StocExpo, however, will be focused on in-person engagement in order to provide an enhanced environment for reinvigorating relationships and meeting new leads. So, the organisers have updated the timings for the first day, including an afternoon opening at 1 pm and an evening reception finishing at 8 pm.
Besides providing networking opportunity, the international trade fair will also host several experts that will cover many important trends and issues impacting on the bulk liquid storage industry, such as transition, digitalisation, robotics and hydrogen. In addition, there will also be the new Innovation Trail hosted by SPRINT Robotics, a drinks reception with input from StocExpo’s Forty Under 40 and a Women in Tanks roundtable discussion.
“We’re thrilled to be able to announce the return of StocExpo; we know how valuable it is to the industry and it’s great to be back in Rotterdam. We know it’s a little later in the year than usual; we had hoped to hold the show in March as usual but we felt it safer to delay so we could ensure the event could be held in person. Virtual shows can offer a certain level of content, but we understand how important it still is for us to connect and continue to foster key relationships face-to-face. We are confident that we will be able to bring the community back together in a more powerful way than ever,” stated Lourda Derry, the COO of Easyfairs Global. “Tank storage was already in a time of transition before the pandemic struck, so now collaboration and knowledge sharing are more important than ever before; it’s the key to the sector’s ongoing success. StocExpo 2022 will be the event for everyone to regroup and reassess and move forward into the future with confidence.”
