After a long and complicated process, the APP has successfully come to an agreement whereby we will not be penalized for cancelling the 2020 Conference.
We have felt strongly that cancelling this year's conference is the very best action for our association, our attendees, and for the industry, worldwide. Piercers, studio owners, jewelry/counter specialists, and manufacturers face numerous challenges from the impact of this health crisis. Not only is this in the interest of health and safety, but this will also allow all of us to focus on business and family at home and to make sure we are opening under safe protocols.
If you have already registered and paid for the 2020 APP Conference, please check your email for information on refunds and rollovers. If you haven't received an email, please visit https://www.safepiercing.org/covid-19.php for more information. Questions? Please contact the office at [email protected].
We will miss all of you and the positive energy we all get from our Annual Conference and Exposition. We appreciate that you have remained steadfast in face of uncertainty.
In addition, we have cancelled the 2020 APP Members’ Retreat / Camp APP in October and all in-person APP gatherings including board meetings and committee workgroup meetings. For questions regarding Camp cancellation, please contact Marina at [email protected].
Please stay healthy and financially well as the world moves forward through this crisis.
We look forward to seeing you June 6-11, 2021 at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas for Conference and the APP Members’ Retreat in 2021!
