The Happetite 2020 Rescheduled

Reed MIDEM today announces that THE HAPPETITE (previously MAPIC Food), scheduled to take place April 28-29 in Milan, has been rescheduled due to growing concerns related to the coronavirus (Covid-19).

THE HAPPETITE 2020 will now be held July 1-2 in Milan.

“The well-being of our clients, partners and staff is our priority. Given the evolving context, the best course of action is to reschedule THE HAPPETITE,” said Filippo Rean, Real Estate Division Director at Reed MIDEM.

We believe these new dates will provide THE HAPPETITE participants with the opportunity to achieve their business objectives in a safe and productive environment. We are grateful to our clients for their support and constructive input during this challenging period. In the coming days we will be talking to participants to discuss the change of dates.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to THE HAPPETITE on July 1.
