on the cancellation of this year's
Conference & Expo
T
hese are indeed unprecedented times as the
world battles COVID-19 on many fronts, and
the lingering impact of the pandemic will
likely continue for some time. Against the
backdrop of a global health emergency and a
widespread economic shutdown, NFPA has had to be creative
and resourceful to meet the needs of stakeholders and maintain its varied business operations, all while doing everything
in its power to keep its employees safe.
A vital part of those operations is our annual conference,
and since the start of the pandemic it has been our singular intent to hold the 2020 NFPA Conference & Expo® (C&E)
in Orlando in June-but only if it could be done safely for
all involved. My team and I have spent weeks monitoring
countless data and information sources on COVID-19. We
have also been listening to our stakeholders, some of whom
asked us to not hold the event and others who encouraged
us to move forward. After a great deal of thought, and based
on the best information available to us, we have determined
that we cannot hold our event in Florida. For the wellbeing of everyone involved, we are cancelling the 2020 NFPA
Conference & Expo.
To say I am disappointed at having to share this news is an

as well. This is not the decision I wanted to make. NFPA

periods of economic distress; they were held even during
