`11.Aug.2001` Stefan Instinske (email)	Event: Maxpo 2001 cancelled We got yesterday evening information by Stefan Instinske via mail that the Maxpo 2001 is cancelled. As already reported Falke-Media wanted to hold the "AMIGA WORLD 2001" at this fair. Talks with Falke-Media showed that they work with high pressure on finding an alternative location for the Amiga fair. Detailed information about this can be found at the beginning of next week at amiga-messe.de. Here's the complete mail of Stefan Instinske (translated from German): ++++ \| 22:56 \| Friday - 10. August 2001 \| What was already in several forums broadcasted as rumor seems now to be official: the Maxpo 2001 in Cologne won't take place this year. Though the organizers have not officially commented on their webseite yet it seems definitely that all exhibitors have been written to and informed about the fair's cancellation. Not least the following message from Arktis makes clear that this year's exhibition falls through: »As the MAXPO in Cologne unexpectedly won't take place this year ARKTIS holds on the 21. and 22. September a big MAC DAY in the ARKTIS company building in Rosendahl. Detailed information about participiants and supporting programme will follow soon...« Reason for the cancellation of the fair may well be the withdrawings of some big exhibitors and financial losses resulting from this for the organizers. As soon as we have further and more definitive information we will announce them here of course. ++++ Further link about this topic: Heise: Macintosh-Messe Maxpo cancelled (German only) (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 11.
