NAFCU Cancels Annual Conference Citing Health & Safety Concerns
NAFCU says it is working on more hybrid-type events including virtual conferences and smaller in-person gatherings this year.
NAFCU announced on Tuesday that it has cancelled the organization’s 54th Annual Conference and Solutions Expo due to the ongoing pandemic.
Originally scheduled for July 27-30 in Savannah, Ga., NAFCU officials decided it was best to call off the conference to ensure the health and safety of employees and attendees to its in-person event as the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to rise.
In a statement, NAFCU President/CEO Dan Berger said, “This is not a decision we have made lightly, but one we believe is in the best interest of all those involved due to the conference’s expected large in-person attendance. NAFCU remains committed to providing our member credit unions with the same high-level quality educational services they have come to expect from us via other virtual channels.”
While the large annual conference has been cancelled, NAFCU said it is working on a number of virtual and smaller in-person events for 2021, as well as a number of educational webinars.
