Since May 5th, the German federal states have been allowed to decide under what conditions they approve the reopening of trade fairs. These conditions include the development of safety and hygiene concepts. Essential points are to avoid queues and to ensure minimum distances between visitors.
In late June, the Bavarian State Government laid a major foundation stone for the reopening of trade fairs, conferences and exhibitions. The official “Hygienekonzept zur Wiedereröffnung von Messen, Kongressen und Ausstellungen” sets the framework within which live events can reopen in pandemic times.
Currently there is a lot of talk about how fairs have to reorient themselves to account for Coronavirus conditions. At MCH Group, we have decided to take things a significant step further and organized a sample exhibition in Basel on 3 July 2020, titled “Reloading Live.”
In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became German law. The GDPR requires companies to handle their customers’ data with care and demands that they report any data breaches within a maximum of 72 hours. Violations can result in fines of up to 20 million euros or 4 percent of annual global sales.
In the first few months, fines were comparatively low; companies affected by data leaks received helpful advice from the data protection authorities rather than draconian punishments. However, in October 2019 the German Data Protection Conference published a standardized calculation key for fines, depending on various economic factors and the severity of the offence.
