IX is Canceled
With the recent developments of COVID-19 and the CDC’s recommendations for events, we have made the incredibly hard decision to cancel Industry Xchange on April 14 at City Winery Chicago.
As you are aware, our friends, colleagues and our community are being impacted by COVID-19. With the news that was released over the weekend to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that “for the next 8 weeks, organizers cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the U.S.” As industry leaders who are driven by a responsibility to our members, chapters, sponsors and suppliers, this is certainly not a directive we were hoping to see. It is, however, one we intend to follow.
We applaud the industry professionals who are managing as best they can through this difficult and unanticipated situation. It is important we continue to come together as a community to support each other, focus on our industry, our members and the health and safety of both.
See you soon and stay healthy!
