Today, FAR-West announced in a statement that FAR-West 2020 has been postponed. The statement reads as follows:
After much consideration, the FAR-West Board has come to the very difficult decision to postpone the 2020 conference in San Jose.
Our primary concern is for the safety and well-being of our membership. At this time the Covid-19 risks, the restrictions in California, and multiple barriers to travel make it difficult for us to see a path for holding a conference this year.
Meanwhile, we are exploring options to develop enhanced contact to support our community throughout the year as we move forward with plans for 2021. Please make sure to follow us on our social media or mailing lists to be kept apprised of these options (https://far-west.org/about/
For those who pre-registered for the 2020 conference or submitted for an official showcase, we will contact each of you directly.
Please stay safe and healthy so we can all meet in person again in 2021 or sooner.
