Announcement - National Conference 2020
Dear all, ART member, exhibitors, visitors and colleagues,
In the light of recent events surrounding the Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), we have decided to cancel the ART National Conference 2020. The health and safety of our delegates, exhibitors and speakers is our number one priority, this quite rightly drove our decision to cancel the conference which was due to take place in October 2020.
This decision has not been taken lightly and we would like to thank you for all your support and understanding, we look forward to welcoming you to the ART National Conference 2021.
Roger Moore, Chairman of ART commented: “I think it is best for all involved to cancel the ART National Conference 2020 and in the meantime for the safety of you, your family and loved ones, your colleagues and your patients please keep following the Government guidance and that of your respective organisations. On behalf of my fellow ART Executive Committee members we look forward to seeing you at conference in 2021, a conference that I hope we can make the biggest and best in ART history”.
