Due to the uncertainty of the coronavirus situation, and in consideration of the health and wellbeing of all conference attendees, Food Shippers of America made the decision in January to cancel the 2021 event. We spent many hours evaluating alternatives, including postponing the conference to a later date, conducting a virtual event, finding other potential locations, as well as a combination of these options. Unfortunately, venue availability and timing made postponing the event not practical, and we felt a virtual event would not offer the robust networking opportunity we all look forward to at the annual conference. We are certainly disappointed but have already started planning what we expect to be an outstanding program for the 2022 conference, which will be held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando on February 20-22, 2022.
