VICTAM and Animal Health and Nutrition Asia is re-scheduled to January 18 – 20, 2022 at BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand. The objective remains the same: to realise the total animal feed and health event organised by VICTAM and VIV. 

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 crisis, the management teams from the VICTAM Corporation and VIV worldwide had decided earlier to postpone VICTAM and Animal Health and Nutrition Asia in Bangkok to the second quarter of 2020.

As the worldwide situation is still very critical and a long way from being solved, the organisation cannot take the risk of setting up an event as early as July. COVID-19 is still disrupting businesses around the world and they have concluded that being present at the exhibition is, at the moment, not their client's priority.

The management evaluated an alternative date in the second half of this year, but as both health and financial situations in the world by then are very unclear, they believe postponing the event to the beginning of 2022 is in the interest of the market and the participants. This way there is more time to let the situation and business get back to normal. Another reason to choose January 2022, instead of the second half of this year, is the full event calendar, which could create a conflict of dates for the visitors and exhibitors.

Postponing the event to January 2022 will give all stakeholders room to breathe and pay attention to other vital issues. The mission of the organisation is to present a strong, value-adding event to the industry with high benefits for all parties. Due to the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak, they are unable to succeed in this mission and therefore, they believe, it is the right decision for all to come back stronger together in 2022.

The Victam Corporation and VIV worldwide will also continue their partnership in Europe in 2022 by organising VICTAM International and VIV Europe together at the Jaarbeurs exhibition grounds in Utrecht, the Netherlands, from May 31 – June 2, 2022. The set-up of this exhibition is different from the Asia event, as VIV Europe and VICTAM International will be co-located but with each exhibition in their own halls.
