Gaetano Cavalieri, CIBJO President, said in a statement: “This is the first time that we have had to postpone a Cibjo congress, but under the circumstances it was definitely the most prudent action to take […] Much of our operation is now taking place online, including the work of our various commissions and committees and this will continue at full pace”. Cavalieri concluded by saying that the congress “is an event at which we should meet face to face, and that hopefully will be possible once again in 2021”.
