Elite Exhibitions has changed the dates for Cruise Ship Interiors Expo America (CSI) and its co-located show Cruise Ship Hospitality Expo America (CSH from 28-29 October to 10-11 November.
The new show dates are intended to coincide with the lifting of US travel restrictions for fully vaccinated European travellers in early November.
“After consulting with our advisory board, made up of all of the leading cruise brands, design studios and outfitters, we came to the unanimous decision that moving the show back gives us the best possible chance of allowing for an international event,” said Toby Walters, CEO of Elite Exhibitions. “Both Elite Exhibitions and our advisory board members agree that shifting back to 10-11 November, whilst it carries a risk, is the best decision for the benefit of the community and over 300 industry suppliers that are looking forward to being present.”
More than 300 companies have been confirmed as exhibitors at the free two-day event. Delegates will also be able to attend conference sessions led by cruise executives and others in the marine interiors industry.
“Studio DADO fully supports the decision to move the show back to 10-11 November, giving us the best chance for a successful international event that is open to our friends in Europe,” said Greg Walton, CEO of design firm Studio DADO, one of the exhibitors at the event.
Registration for the event remains open, and all visitors that have already registered will have their passes automatically transferred to the new dates.
