EWAP MARCH 2020 5 Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Industry Partners All of us are very concerned over the evolving Covid-19 situation and its global impact on our lives, organisations, and economy. After much deliberation and taking into consideration your health, safety, and travel restrictions, we have decided to postpone the 33 rd APACRS–SNEC 30 th Anniversary Joint Meeting to 29–31 July 2021 to be held at the same venue, Suntec Singapore Convention Centre. We hope this announcement will provide you with ample time to manage air travel and hotel reservations. If you have booked your hotel accommodation through the APACRS portal, your booking will be automatically cancelled without charge. Individuals who have booked reservations on their own should cancel them immediately. With this postponement, meeting registration fees and abstracts will be automatically transferred to 2021. If you have other plans and are unable to join us, please inform our secretariat before 21 May 2020. For our supportive exhibitors, your commitments for 2020 will also be automatically transferred to 2021. However, if you have other plans, please contact our secretariat. We are grateful to everyone who worked tirelessly with the planning of 33 rd APACRS–30 th SNEC Anniversary Joint Meeting. We seek your patience as we address questions and provide additional information to all who are impacted by this postponement. Please feel free to contact our secretariat team at apacrs2020@apacrs.org for all enquiries. In the meantime, please keep safe!
