Announcing Cancellation of the
2020 Annual Conference (Houston Chapter of The IIA)
Given the ongoing uncertainty related to the
outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Board of Governors of the Houston
Chapter of The IIA has decided to cancel the 2020 Annual Conference.
The decision to cancel was done out of concern for the health and well-being
of our Houston Chapter members and our speakers and sponsors. Even as
communities and businesses are starting to reopen, many companies and firms
expect to continue travel and large meeting restrictions and extend social
separation practices through the remainder of the year.
We are already planning for our 2021 Annual
Conference to be held on April 12, 2021. We look forward to hosting
another high-quality educational event that you have come to expect from the
Houston Chapter’s Annual Conference. In the interim, the Houston
Chapter is modifying its delivery of professional education to meet the
learning and CPE needs of our members.
Participant Registration and Sponsorship Options
Your paid 2020 Annual Conference participant
registration fee and/or sponsorship can be (i) applied towards the 2021
Annual Conference or (ii) refunded. For group registrations and firm
sponsorships, please coordinate with your firm representative that initiated
the original registration.
- For those opting to apply your
participant registration and/or sponsorship payment to the 2021 Annual
Conference, please contact conferenceregistration@houstoniia.org
no later than Friday, May 22, 2020. For this option, you
will receive a special registration code for use in registering for the
2021 Annual Conference, with registration expected to open in late 202o
for sponsors and early January 2021 for participants. Both
participants and sponsors will need to register for the 2021 Annual Conference
and the 2020 Annual Conference sponsorship levels and booth selection
priority will not automatically transfer to the 2021 Annual
Conference.
- If you do not opt to apply your
registration or sponsorship funds to the 2021 Annual Conference, then
your refund will be processed after May 22, 2020 to the form of payment
used in the original registration. To change the form of payment
for your refund, please contact conferenceregistration@houstoniia.org
by Friday, May 22, 2020.
Please contact conferenceregistration@houstoniia.org
with any questions. Thanks for your understanding during this
challenging period. Stay safe and healthy!
