Как научные и отраслевые выставки адаптируются к COVID-19?

Нанотехнологии, материалы для испарения, тонкие пленки и другие Выставки: как ярмарки индустрии высоких технологий адаптируются к COVID-19?

По мере увеличения числа отмен мероприятий из-за кризиса COVID-19 организации проверяются на возможность быстрого реагирования, чтобы гарантировать непрерывность бизнеса. Специалист Photon Export в области услуг по нанесению покрытий, оптики и тонких пленок планировал ежегодно посещать несколько выставок, конференций или конгрессов, чтобы наладить отношения с нашими клиентами, научными исследователями и сотрудниками. Среди всех предстоящих презентаций, которые, как предполагалось, должны были быть проведены физически в период с июня по сентябрь 2020 года, 70% изменили свои условия.

1. Компании, которые решили отменить или отложить

Например, 35-я Европейская конференция по науке о поверхности (запланирована на 23 августа 2020 г.), которая дает возможность ученым встретиться и обсудить последние достижения в области физики и химии поверхностей. Конференция перенесена на следующее лето, скорее всего, на 30 августа. Август 2021 года в университете Люксембурга.

8% выставок и ярмарок после марта 2020 года были отменены из-за COVID-19 в областях: передовые материалы, микроэлектроника, нанотехнологии, офтальмологические линзы, оптика и фотоника, солнечная энергия, техническое стекло, тонкие пленки, вакуум. Но 13% вышли в сеть в основном в виде вебинаров.

2. And those that try to innovate 

However, most companies see these new restrictions as an opportunity to innovate in their way to keep audiences engaged.

We, at PhotonExport, see an interest in web conferences even though not all events can be entirely digital like the exhibitions which require a physical setting.

• The 62 Electronic materials conference supposed to take place on 24^th June 2020 is going virtual. We can expect live streaming sessions on Zoom, and the possibility to connect virtually.
• The 21^th World Congress on Materials Science and Engineering scheduled on 22^th  June 2020 goes virtual too. The main topic is  “Covid 19 Effect on Innovative methodology,Materials Science & Engineering”.
• SPIE Optical engineering application turns itself into a free online event on 24^th August 2020.The digital forum will include live plenary presentations and technical talks about the latest developments in optical design, alignment, testing, and photonic devices. 
• The ESTC 2020 uploaded their new modalities, the meeting planned on 15th September 2020 is also 100% virtual.
• In regards to SEMICON west it  is expected on 20th July, 2020. Their digital platform promises to be the most innovative which gathers microelectronics professionals. Will offer an exploration of virtual exhibit booths, technical sessions or technology visits. Is this a first test for an adaptation to virtual reality?

How technology industry fairs adapt to COVID-19 ?  Finally, the technology industry fairs react differently to the new restrictions due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Most are trying to innovate in their way to keep their community in touch. The online conference seems to be the best option with regard to all the advantages. Such as cost savings, an eco- responsible approach or the exclusivity it gives. However, does an online event can supersede a physical one? At PhotonExport we are  open with the idea to meet our customers in an innovative way.  Physical meetings occupy an important place in our development. Despite all the obvious advantages that webinars give, they don’t for sure, offer the same quality than a real meet with our collaborators.
