Might be more to this than the headline suggests, the existing 2020 Cancelled event will have been left with a lot of liabilities that perhaps wouldn’t have been successfully covered or made good by next years event.

Fair point. I wonder if the whole motor show idea is coming to and end. These days I get all of my car news on line and almost never go to car shows. CV is just accelerating a long term trend.
I think there may be a downward trend for all such events.I often attend ISPO in Munich. It's a massive exhibition for outdoor sports manufacturers but also includes the technical fabrics and textile industry, and it's the city's largest event.
However, the last couple of years I've noticed that some of who would be the largest players in the business (e.g. Amer Sports) have pulled out of the event, and it's starting to get the feel where you get the occasional odd, unrelated businesses popping up to fill stands out.
In another market I'm involved in, fabric retail, the UK's largest trade show has had the UK's largest supplier pull out and run their own in-house event, and the trade show is now a shadow of how it was in recent years, despite a growth in the market.
