Hygiene concept

Dear exhibitors of the Future Of Festivals 2021,
we have compiled the most important information on the hygiene concept of FOF21 for you. Due to the dynamic development and the unpredictability of the legal situation at the time of the fair, the following information regarding the hygiene rules only represents the current status. A change and especially a tightening or addition of the rules until the date of the event cannot be excluded. In case of any changes we will of course inform you.
