After much work with our partners in Nashville, it has become clear that the American Fence Association will be unable to hold FENCETECH / METALfab 2021 at Music City Center in February. As always, the health and safety of our members, attendees and exhibitors is our priority and, while AFA is heartened by recent developments in the fight against COVID-19, we are still not in a situation where an in-person event of our size and type is feasible.
AFA would like to first give our sincere thanks to all of the attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, volunteers and partners who have registered for, signed up, been actively engaged or otherwise indicated their support of FENCETECH 2021. If you have not received an email from us already, we will be reaching out to each of you over the next few weeks to provide an update on how this change affects you individually and what the next steps are as we closeout FENCETECH 2021.
We will be bringing some of the quality content we had planned for FENCETECH 2021 to you via webinars later this year. Once we have formalized that schedule, we will share that information as well, so please watch our website for those updates too.
If you are an exhibitor or sponsor, we will be reaching out in the New Year to discuss how this will affect you and steps to take moving forward.
Finally, we hope to see all of you for FENCETECH / METALfab 2022 in New Orleans, February 15-18, 2022. Due to the immense popularity of Nashville as a host city, we also look forward to scheduling new dates for FENCETECH / METALfab in a future year to be determined. In the meantime, the American Fence Association wishes everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.
