Dear, You will undoubtedly have noticed that the current Corona crisis has touched the heart of the event industry. After all, live no longer exists today! We are therefore addressing this open letter to all customers, clients, governments, ... We are addressing this open letter to you ... We are now addressing these open questions The current crisis should under no circumstances be a reason to structurally delay payments . The event agencies, their suppliers and partners need their own liquidity to bridge the coming months. They have invested a lot of their own resources in your events in recent months. A quick payment of the outstanding invoices for realized events will now give the sector oxygen! Can we count on this? Force majeure may not be a warrant to cancel contracted events. It is essential that all parties involved make every effort to minimize the dire consequences of the Corona crisis. Unless this would be impossible for very specific and well-founded reasons, the planned, contracted events that were canceled due to force majeure should be moved and preferably to a later date in 2020. Maintaining the turnover lost due to force majeure in 2020 gives the sector soon the necessary oxygen! If the customer makes the sovereign decision to cancel the event without postponement, we insist that the delivered and proven performance can be invoiced and the costs incurred recovered. Can we count on this? The current support measures from the government offer some relief today ... The above help from you, however, a solid guarantee for tomorrow ... Thank you for your partnership! Johan Vandepoel CEO ACC
