Following thorough consideration and in view of the difficult current situation, Enforce Tac, International Exhibition & Conference – Law Enforcement, Tactical Solutions and Homeland Security, will not be held on 10-11 March 2021 as originally planned.

By taking this decision now, NürnbergMesse hopes to give all visitors, exhibitors, partners and media the ability to plan reliably in this time of uncertainty and thus avoid the risk of having to cancel at short notice. Health policy measures currently being put in place internationally, including quarantine regulations and travel restrictions, in addition to the rapidly increasing number of infections in particular, are making it difficult for everyone involved to plan and prepare with any confidence.

“There was a surprising amount of support for holding Enforce Tac next March, with what seemed to be a record number of registrations and a lot of enthusiasm for finally being able to meet up again, especially after the event was cancelled this year,” observes Thomas Preutenborbeck, a member of the NürnbergMesse management board. “This industry needs personal, confidential and discreet interaction. Given the current conditions, however, any prospect of being able to hold the International Exhibition and Conference in physical form seems to be ruled out. But everyone totally understands.”

Plans for sector meeting in summer 2021

Exhibition Director Isabelle Teufert also regrets the cancellation: “It was a difficult decision for us in the Enforce Tac Team to make, especially since our exhibitors and partners indicated in recent months that they needed an Enforce Tac in 2021 and would stand by us.” To still provide the sector with a networking opportunity, however, there will be a small special edition in summer 2021. “We would like to use 2021 to offer our exhibitors an alternative programme to interact with other professionals,” says Teufert.

Full focus on Enforce Tac 2022 – now on new days

The next Enforce Tac will be held on 1-2 March 2022. That means it will take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday in 2022 instead of the usual Wednesday and Thursday.

Against the background of the ongoing corona pandemic and its global repercussions, NürnbergMesse has now also decided not to hold Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC in September 2020. The industry is facing hitherto unknown challenges, including declining sales and production stops, as a result of public health measures and the associated economic situation. At the same time, trade fair participants in many places are finding it difficult to plan and prepare their involvement in events due to business activity being curtailed by official order as well as international travel restrictions.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many representatives of the sector for the frank and constructive discussions we have had with them in recent days. These exchanges were very helpful to us in making our decision. Our objective with Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC, like all our other events, is to create a special experience for exhibitors and visitors that helps them to establish and develop business relationships in a number of different ways. Unfortunately, the impact of the corona crisis means that we cannot do this to our usual high quality standard,” says Thomas Preutenborbeck from the NürnbergMesse management board.

Save the date: Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC in March 2021

The next Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC will take place from 10 to 11 March 2021, marking a return to the event’s usual springtime schedule in the run- up to the IWA OutdoorClassics. “This also accommodates the preferences of many exhibitors and visitors and will allow the synergies of these three high-calibre trade fairs to be exploited once again. After this crisis is over, the need for information and dialogue will be greater than ever,” says Frank Venjakob, Exhibition Director Enforce Tac and U.T.SEC. “This is why we are now looking to the future and setting the course for next year.”
