ACCA cancels 2021 conference and expo

USA: The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has cancelled its 2021 Annual Conference and Expo due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The event was scheduled for February 21-24 in New Orleans.

Barton James, ACCA president and CEO revealed that “increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus” had prompted the decision. “While there is disappointment regarding the postponement of this event for our members, event attendees, partners, and exhibitors, we know this is the right decision based on the information we have today.”

The events committee are said to have polled members on their willingness to participate in a virtual event but there is said to have been minimal interest for that option.
