2nd Annual SAME Albuquerque Post
Industry Day 2020
Cancelled
The coronavirus pandemic has made it impossible for the Albuquerque Post to determine when it will be safe for us to hold our Industry Day event. Travel restrictions, health concerns, government stay at home orders and facility closures have made planning a challenge. Since there is no way to establish a date when restrictions will be lifted, and a safe environment will exist we have no choice but to cancel our 2020 event.
It’s our intent to reschedule in the future when we know more about the pandemic and its impact to our conference. Currently, we are unable to select a new date, but our conference planning team is monitoring the situation.
If you have signed up for the conference as an attendee or sponsor you can receive your refund by emailing the following information to the Post Treasure, Hank Rosoff at nmfinite@gmail.com.
Please include the following in your email:
