The decision was made after two other big-name events ASEAN and ICE/SiGMA Manila pushed their dates back as well. The postponements are influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic  and its impact on the global economy.

PAGE organizers stated, “At this critical moment of fighting against the Coronavirus, we decided to join together more than ever in the current situation.” The organizers promised to monitor the situation and global market, and keep visitors, exhibitors and stakeholders up to date. Safety of the event remains the priority, especially since last year PAGE received 46,000 visitors.
