All over the world the coronavirus pandemic has lead to numerous changes of plans. In line with this framework, the GBPAP2020 Final, scheduled to June 19th and 20th in Frankfurt, Germany will be postponed, too. CINET will inform all 450 partners/sponsors, participants, nominees, jury members, country captains, trade magazines as soon as possible, personally, as well. For now, a new date for the Finals cannot be announced yet, but the Event is likely to be scheduled on the 2nd half of 2020. All preparations will be continued. The organization of the scheduled National Pre-Selections of The Global Best Practices Awards Program 2020 in the coming months will be adjusted.
Adjusted Pre-Selections
Therefore, CINET have decided the National Best Practices Awards Pre-selections in Greece (March 15), Russia (April 15), USA (April 16), Italy (April 19) and Australia (May 23) will not take place as planned, as well. However, CINET is investigating the possibilities of turning these Pre-selection events into online-based events and/or possibly schedule on other dates and formats, within the framework of the GBPAP2020 procedure.
Preparations to be continued.
Because it is only a postponement, we will also postpone the deadline for nominees applications to the 15th of August 2020. The potential nominees can fill in their applications using the reply form for the Retail Textile Cleaning (RTC) companies and Franchise companies (download here!) or the reply form for the Industrial Textile Services companies (download here!). Once filled-in, the form will have to be submitted to CINET Secretariat (cinet@cinet-online.com).
The Young Executives in Professional Textile Care – 3rd module
Also The YEP 3 module, scheduled in the UK, April 25-27 will be cancelled and ANonline organization set-up will be applied.
Please stay tuned. We keep you posted!
