Dear Corrosion Community,

Following the recent reports of six cases of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in the Houston area, the NACE Board of Directors voted tonight to postpone our annual CORROSION 2020 conference and expo until June 14-18, 2020.

This was a difficult decision, but after consulting with several members of our industry community and convening our board of directors, we believe it is the right thing to do. We determined the best way to protect the health and safety of our attendees, speakers, and exhibitors is to postpone our annual conference. After close consultation with the George R. Brown Convention Center, conference hotels, and our vendor partners, we believe this is the best solution under the current circumstances.

NACE is working with all conference venues and vendors to ensure the process of moving CORROSION 2020 to June goes as smoothly as possible. More details about these efforts will be posted on the NACE website as they become available.

It is disappointing that we will not be able to bring our professional community together at this time, but we are looking forward to hosting everyone in June. We want to thank all our exhibitors and attendees for their patience, support and feedback. CORROSION 2020 was on track to be one of our best conferences ever and we will do everything we can to provide the same valuable content and business opportunities this June.

We will be opening our First Service phone lines this Saturday, March 7th from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. CST and again on Sunday, March 8 from 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. to assist registrants. NACE International’s First Service team can be reached at firstservice@nace.org or by phone at 1-800-797-6223 (U.S./Canada) or +1-281-228-6223 worldwide.

Again, thank you all for your patience, understanding and support.

Sincerely,

Bob Chalker
CEO
NACE International

Bruce: if you had previously registered for CORROSION 2020, your registration will automatically roll over to the new June dates. No action is needed on your part.

I have a question that First Service has never addressed (even when queried). The FAQ section does not address those of us that did not cancel our registration for 2020. Will that registration simply be rolled over for the June meeting?

Will the conference hotels transfer our reservations, or refund all or part of it without us having to contact the third party housing company?
