The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association, (IDDBA), announced today that IDDBA 2020 scheduled for May 31-June 2 in Indianapolis, IN is cancelled due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier in the month, Association leadership remained optimistic the industry’s leading show for over 50 years would still go on as planned. With the continued progression of COVID-19, countless conversations with show exhibitors, attendees, and government and industry leaders, cancelling the show is in the best interest of the health and safety of the thousands of people who were scheduled to attend. The U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams’ announcement on March 29, 2020 deeming Indianapolis, Indiana as an emerging hotspot for COVID-19 made it painfully evident that continuing to plan the show as scheduled put the health and well-being of those we serve and our partners at risk.
