The Global Business Travel Association due to Covid-19 outbreak has moved its annual convention to Nov. 7-11, 2020, in Denver, the first such postponement in its 52-year history of hosting the convention, according to the association. The convention originally was scheduled for July 25-29 in Denver.
"We rescheduled the event after several weeks discussing options with officials at the Denver Convention Center," said GBTA COO and executive director Scott Solombrino said in a statement. "We all agreed that there was no way to hold a safe, healthy and successful conference in July, so we agreed to push the dates out as far as possible in 2020."
The convention could be delayed further, Solombrino said. "Our hope is that the pandemic will pass within the next few months and we will be able to resume our normal activities," he said. "But if that is not the case, we may need to push convention back further."
