NEW PRODUCT CATEGORY AT IFA 2021 AND COOPERATION WITH BERLIN PHOTO WEEK From next year IFA Berlin will have a new product category and will add "imaging" to the show. "Imaging has become a major trend in our world that extends far beyond private life. It plays a central role in medical technology, autonomous driving, AI-technology and many other areas," said Heithecker. Also, Messe Berlin is partnering with Berlin Photo Week, a unique and innovative event format for everyone who loves images. "Combining photo sessions, community experiences, artistic and cultural inspiration, the creation of irretrievable moments, partnerships that reach far beyond photography and media presence, the Berlin Photo Week is destined to become the novel imaging event format at the center of public attention," said Wolfgang Heinen from Berlin Photo Week. The Berlin Photo Week successfully debuted in 2019 when it attracted more than 30,000 primarily young photo enthusiasts, smartphone consumers and DSLR users as well as professionals. Berlin Photo Week's objective is to create a unique way to inspire enthusiasm for making and enjoying photos and videos. It harnesses the diversity of Berlin's landscape with the "Fun Place" as the event's focal point and numerous "Satellite" locations dispersed around the city. It also connects with Berlin's globally renowned creative scene. The dates of Berlin Photo Week 2021 will overlap with IFA 2021, enabling participants to profit from visiting both events. ABOUT IFA 2020 SPECIAL EDITION The IFA 2020 Special Edition – consisting of physical live events focusing on the B2B core functions of IFA – offers a meeting place for industry and trade in the IFA Business, Retail & Meeting Lounges and cross-industry innovations at SHIFT Mobility meets IFA NEXT. While these event elements are aimed at trade visitors, media representatives can exclusively experience the latest products and services, press briefings and the IFA keynote live at the IFA Global Press Conference. DIGITAL IFA EXPERIENCE With a virtual extension – the "IFA Xtended Space" – the physical event is complemented by live and on-demand streaming of presentations, matchmaking tools and digital product demonstrations. The IFA Xtended Space thereby is accessible for both on-site guests and all other interested participants around the globe.
