HAMEXPO 2021 Cancelled

The REF Board has canceled the HAMEXPO 2021 event that had been planned to take place for 25th September 2021 at the Le Mans Exhibition Center in France

In view of

• new government constraints concerning the management of COVID-19, in particular the very cumbersome control procedures to be put in place,

• uncertainties about the attendance of certain exhibitors,

• the very hypothetical participation of the public concerned,

The REF board of directors, meeting in extraordinary session on 15 July 2021, decided to cancel the HAMEXPO 2021 edition, which was initially scheduled to be held on 25th September 2021.

This decision, very difficult to take, goes in the direction of the safety and the protection of all, we hope that you will understand it.
