The coronavirus pandemic still has a grip on
our lives. Although the number of those vaccinated is increasing, as you are
well aware, there are still significant restrictions in place all over the
world concerning travel and personal contact. Over the past weeks and months,
we have had conversations with many of you. The feedback we have received is
that most of you are very uncertain about the possibility of participating in
our International VAT Conference at Lake Tegernsee, scheduled to run from 16 to
18 June 2021. As the situation at Lake Tegernsee also does not allow
for a sufficient degree of flexibility in terms of planning reliability, we
have, unfortunately, once again, made the decision to postpone the 9th
International VAT Conference.
At the same time, we have deliberately decided against converting our
conference into a digital event. Our International VAT Conference thrives on
the personal exchanges between participants in professional discussions and on
many informal conversations during the breaks and evening events. We are
convinced that all of the technical possibilities available to facilitate a
virtual conversation cannot replace this personal professional contact and the
conference’s atmosphere.
The 9th International VAT Conference will take place from 1 to
3 June 2022 at the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt, Lake Tegernsee. This once
again unavoidable cancellation makes us look forward even more to seeing you at
next year’s event.
All our very best wishes to you and your families. Take care and stay healthy!
