IFA has been given the go-ahead to take place in 2020 as a real-life event
in Berlin, based on a special concept that puts health and safety first. The invite-only event
will put strict limits on the number of attendees and will focus on iFA's four global core functions.

FA 2020 will be the first opportunity for the consumer
electronics and home appliances industries to present
new products and services directly to the media, and
by extension, to consumers and the trade. The event also
comes just ahead of the year's most important shopping
season stretching from Black Friday and Singles Day to
Cyber Monday, Christmas and beyond.
The concept for IFA 2020 was developed in close
collaboration with public health authorities in Germany
to ensure the health and safety of all participants. As a
result, IFA 2020 will not be open to the public but will be
an invitation-only event.
This year's IFA will effectively be run as four stand-
alone events with no more than 1,000 attendees for
each event per day. The organizers decided to meet the
strictest safety standards possible.
