Statement on coronavirus | 22.07.2020

We take the developments around the coronavirus (Covid-19) very seriously. The safety and health of our employees, business partners and participants at our events is our top priority. Due to the current situation, we would like to inform you that we are taking all necessary precautions for our events in autumn. We have developed a Smart Distancing concept, which will allow us to hold live events in the usual quality and in compliance with the current hygiene regulations.

Our Smart Distancing Event Concept

For this purpose, we are in close contact with our partners and customers, follow and observe the current developments via the Federal Ministry of Health and the Robert Koch Institute.

How can the current situation and developments in the coming weeks be assessed?

Major events play a major role in the dynamics of infection, which is why they will remain prohibited at least until 31 October 2020. Major events include events with more than 1000 persons. Due to a positive development and constantly low infection rates, it is now possible to hold smaller events again under certain conditions. The permitted number of participants and the requirements vary in the individual federal states. In Berlin, events with 300 people indoors have again been permitted since 30 June and this upper limit will be increased step by step to 1000 people by the end of October.

The following conditions must be observed in particular:

A minimum distance of 1.5m between participants must be maintained at all times
Contact details of the participants must be given and kept for 4 weeks
Increased hygiene measures such as regular surface disinfection must be carried out and good ventilation must be ensured

we.CONECT events usually have a number of participants of 50 to 200 persons, so that from now on events may take place again. In addition, our conference hotels have sufficiently large areas to ensure compliance with the requirements, especially the minimum distance, at all times. We are currently developing an individual hygiene concept with each hotel.

In general, we will do everything possible to ensure that secure and high-quality business conferences can continue to be held in the future – with Smart Distancing & Networking!
