COVID-19 + INTERSCHUTZ USA

2020 is an unprecedented year.

After exploring all our options to hold INTERSCHUTZ USA safely this year with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Fire Department and the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, we have decided to postpone the inaugural show to October 13-16, 2021.

We do not plan on holding INTERSCHUTZ USA as a digital event in 2020, but will offer resources and training through our new Digital Shift initiative leading up to the 2021 show. Registered attendees and exhibitors have been communicated with directly about their options for rolling over registrations and refunds.

Exhibitor questions can be directed to Rachel Lesczynski at rlesczynski@interschutzusa.com
Attendee questions can be directed to Sarah Mitchell at smitchell@interschutzusa.com
