NAPIM Cancels 2020 Spring Convention

NAPIM’s Spring Convention scheduled for April 17-20 in Phoenix, AZ has been due to concerns related to coronavirus (COVID-19), Executive Director John Copeland and president Jim Leitch said in a joint statement on behalf of NAPIM’s Board of Directors and staff.

“This was not an easy decision for us to make,” they said. “However, it is our obligation to do what is in the best interests of all our attendees and event sponsors. As we have all been following the news surrounding coronavirus, it is changing hourly with local and state governments issuing safety declarations, airlines canceling flights, and large events such as conferences and sporting events being canceled. Some attendees have already informed us that their companies have stopped all employee travel and that they would not be sending anyone to the NAPIM Spring Convention.”

Registrations paid will be refunded back to the original form of payment within 90 days, per NAPIM.
