IIAR 2020 Annual Conference Cancelled

IIAR 2020 Annual Conference Cancelled

Conference Exhibitors, Attendees and IIAR Members!

It is with sincere regret that I must inform you of the cancellation of the IIAR Annual Conference at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort and Convention Center.

As you may be aware from the correspondence over the past two weeks, we have been monitoring the events surrounding the Coronavirus crisis closely and communicating with our conference exhibitors and attendees. This morning we noted that the World Health Organization has now officially declared the Coronavirus a worldwide pandemic.

Given this significant announcement from the World Health Organization, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the conference this year. The health and safety of the conference attendees remains our primary concern. The IIAR Executive Committee will meet later today to review this unprecedented situation and begin developing plans to address appropriate measures moving forward.

We trust that all of you will understand this decision and support your IIAR organization as the Executive Committee and Board of Directors begins to deal with this dramatic event.

Further information concerning the cancellation of the IIAR 2020 Natural Refrigeration Conference & Heavy Equipment Expo will be available over the course of the next few weeks. We request your patience and support as the IIAR Staff and management deal with these issues.

Regards, Dave Rule, President, IIAR
