New Date and Location Forthcoming
We understand the important role that in-person AFSA Meetings play for our Members and Business Partners. Our intent had been to hold an in-person 2021 Independents Conference between April 6 and 8, 2021 in Miami Beach, FL. Unfortunately, Loews Miami Beach was unable to accommodate our expected attendance at this meeting. If you have held those dates on your calendars, please remove them.
While we are disappointed with this necessary cancellation, AFSA is committed to hosting an in-person Independents Conference and Expo in May or June. We will also strive to feature a virtual component so that as many Members and Business Partners can participate in the crucial education, professional development and networking our meetings are known for. We will share updated information as soon as we can.
We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to being able to gather in person soon. Until then, please stay safe and well.
Thank you.
