Pointing the way: Night of Light 2020

Within a very short time, the official requirements in the wake of the Corona crisis have pushed the entire event industry to the brink. A huge branch of the economy has been deprived of its working basis practically overnight, a wave of bankruptcies of enormous proportions is threatening: with serious consequences for the labour market and cultural diversity as a supporting pillar of our society.

In the night from 22.06.2020 to 23.06.2020, more than 9,000 buildings were illuminated with red light in more than 250 cities nationwide. Event locations, venues, public buildings and structures – many luminous memorials that arranged themselves into a mighty monument of light.

The “Night of Light 2020” campaign united market participants from all areas of the event industry to set an imposing example for an industry threatened with extinction in a concerted action and to call for a dialogue with politicians on how solutions and ways out of the dramatic situation can be developed.

As an established exhibition stand construction company, we have been actively shaping the event industry for over 35 years. Therefore, we consider it a matter of course to be part of this action and this clear statement, because cohesion is more important than ever.

We also took part in this flaming appeal, illuminating our main building with red light together with selected partners and also setting an important signal for the entire industry in Bielefeld.
