StocExpo, which was set to take place in March 2021, has been postponed from June 29 to July 1.

After consultation with the industry and due to the ongoing unforeseeable situation generated by the Coronavirus pandemic, which has led to the Government implementing ongoing measures to maintain social distancing, further continuing the Force Majeure situation, the organisers of StocExpo have decided to postpone the fair to June.

The 2021 edition of the StocExpo live show and associated awards will be held from June 29 to July 1 at the Antwerp Expo in Antwerp, Belgium.

As well as networking opportunities and an exhibition on the show floor, the bulk storage community will have the chance to learn the insights of some of the industry's leading experts on a wide range of trends and issues impacting the industry, from cyber security to LNG and beyond. The show will also feature a new Emergency & Response Zone, a next-gen roundtable debate, with input from StocExpo's Forty Under 40 (due to be announced in early 2021), as well as a critical post-COVID-19 market analysis.

"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 Antwerp", says Lourda Derry, COO of Easyfairs Global. "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, with the positive global news, we will be able to bring the community back together in a more powerful way than ever

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 2021 will be the event for everyone to regroup and reassess and move forward into the future with confidence."

During the lead up to the June 2021 show, StocExpo will launch a series of digital events, putting the focus on the key issues that the industry currently faces and its solutions. The new 'Tank Talk Spotlight On…' series will connect innovative brands with forward-thinking specifiers to cover innovation and digitalisation trends. The last of these spotlights will be part of a virtual conference, 'The Terminal of Tomorrow', running over the previously allocated show days; this virtual StocExpo conference will provide the knowledge, resources & tools terminals need to prepare for 2021 and beyond.
