2020 National Home Performance Conference Update
Dear attendees, members, partners, and friends,
As you know, Building Performance Association has been monitoring coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic over the last few weeks and the impact on the 2020 National Home Performance Conference & Trade Show.
In light of the CDC recommendation to cancel large scale gatherings of 50 or more, we are canceling the in-person 2020 National Home Performance Conference & Trade Show in New Orleans, LA. This was not an easy decision, but we are grateful to the home and building performance community for continuing to engage with us throughout this process. We value your continued partnership as we navigate all of this.
Because we feel our industry is too important and the content too valuable to cancel this event entirely, we have moved the conference online. Visit the 2020 National Home Performance Virtual Conference site to learn more.
Thank you for your patience as we work through this difficult situation alongside you and determine how best to serve the industry. We know you will have a lot of questions about the changes to the conference and we will be providing answers to those questions in the coming days.
For now, know that BPA is here to support you, your business, and our industry. We will be posting updates regularly as plans for an alternative conference experience develops. Please check back here and on our social media channels for more information in the days ahead. In the meantime, please do everything you can to remain healthy.
We truly believe that by working together we can navigate these challenging times and come out stronger in the end.
As always, please contact BPA with questions. To ensure you receive the latest developments about future conference alternatives, sign up for our Education and Events communications here.
All the best,
Nate Natale
Vice President of Education and Events
