23 – 24 April 2020 – Postponed due to COVID-19
BEC! Bilbao Exhibition Centre, Spain

 

Exoskeleton and Wearable Robots event postponed due to COVID-19

Given the unique circumstance surrounding coronavirus, the organisers of the Exoskeleton and Wearable Robots event have made the difficult decision, after careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation of currently available information related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that the event will not take place as planned in Bilbao, Spain on 23.-24. April 2020. The decision was made based on the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the regulations and restrictions put in place by regional authorities.

The health and safety of the attendees, speakers, exhibitors and organisers are our priority. While we believe that the decision to postpone the event is absolutely the correct one to safeguard our participants from further potential exposure to the coronavirus, we also understand that is a disappointing and we are investigating option for rescheduling the Exoskeleton and Wearable Robotics event in the near future.

We will inform the registered attendees, speakers and exhibitors of our decision and next steps as soon as they are confirmed and thank all for their patience and support.
