Beviale Moscow, the first holistic trade fair for the Russian beverage market, is being suspended indefinitely in light of current events. It will not take place, as planned, from March 29 to 31, 2022, in Pavilion 57 of the VDNH event center in Moscow. In its sixth edition, Beviale Moscow was well on its way to building on previous successes. Around 100 exhibitors had registered for Beviale Moscow 2022 and some 5,000 visitors were expected, around two-thirds of them from Russia.

Trade fairs have always stood for the peaceful exchange of goods, services and ideas between different nations. Conversely, peace is a basic prerequisite for trade fairs to take place in the respective countries. Due to the armed conflict and the resulting sanctions, it is currently not possible to hold Beviale Moscow. It is therefore suspended for an indefinite period.
