Ligna was rescheduled to run this year in September but this will not go ahead due to the continuing high level of COVID 19 infection worldwide, the slow national and international progress on vaccination and the continuing existence of travel restrictions.

Deutsche Messe, together with the VDMA Woodworking Machinery, has taken the decision to cancel the 2021 trade show for woodworking and wood processing plant, machinery and tools and focus on the planned 2023 event.
“In order to offer the industry a platform for innovations, knowledge exchange and networking, alternatively we will set up a digital networking and content platform that will be launched at the end of September,” Dr Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Managing Board of Deutsche Messe AG said.
“We are also planning the Rosenheim LIGNA Conference in early summer 2022. For both event formats, we are incorporating the many new insights and positive experiences from the recently hosted HANNOVER MESSE Digital Edition.”
Organisers said that another postponement would make no sense in view of the innovation cycles of companies and in view of the next LIGNA, which was scheduled take place in May 2023.
