SANTA MONICA, Calif. , March 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the health, safety, and needs of the industry being our utmost priority, we are announcing the rescheduling of the International Powder & Bulk Solids (iPBS) Conference & Exhibition. Originally scheduled to take place April 28-30, the event will now take place October 6-8, 2020 at the same location, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.
We appreciate the unwavering support of our key partner, Process Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (PEMA), that stands behind our decision to reschedule the event to October. The decision, which has been made in light of the uncertainty caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19), follows the careful consideration from our [Informa Markets] Managed Postponement Program.
“We have been closely monitoring the situation and are following the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO) and leading health authorities,” said Steve Everly, brand director of iPBS, Informa Markets. “Due to the gravity of the situation, we have come to an overwhelming consensus that rescheduling iPBS is the appropriate response to assure the wellbeing of our exhibitors, attendees, speakers, and staff. As we move forward in navigating this challenging time as a united community, our thoughts are with those who have been directly and indirectly affected by COVID-19.”
We understand our announcement may raise questions. Our team is working diligently to address all questions or concerns to ensure our industry and community feels supported as we navigate through this unprecedented time. We have a steadfast commitment to the protection of our customers’ investment in our partnership. At this time, we will automatically be transferring all attendee registration to the rescheduled event – no action is needed at this time.
