WiE 2020 Conference - CANCELLED

It is with great disappointment to inform you that the executive directors have decided to cancel the 2020 Conference in Austin, TX scheduled for May 18th – 20th . We have been monitoring the coronavirus , COVID-19 situation and with the latest recommendations by the Center of Disease Control, (“CDC”) related to gatherings and travel, we agreed that the safety of our members, speakers, volunteers and sponsors far outweighed continuing with holding this year’s conference. The cancellation of other local and major events in the Austin region have also factored into this decision. Additionally, the guidance from the national press conferences continue to reduce the threshold for gatherings. Read below the information from the CDC related to gatherings of 50+ people.

• The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday recommended that no gatherings with 50 people or more take place for the next eight weeks to slow the spread of COVID-19.
• The agency said these gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings and other types of assemblies.
• "Large events and mass gatherings can contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States via travelers who attend these events and introduce the virus to new communities," the CDC said in its new guidelines.

We appreciate your understanding and support.

Please remain safe and healthy.
