IEEE 802 and its family of 802 networking
standards have paved the way for global connectivity. For 40 years the
face-to-face engagement of the 802 community at our plenary meetings has
enabled innovation for the future.
With due
regard to the health and safety of our volunteers in the 802 community
and in light of the growing global concern regarding COVID-19, on 5
March the LMSC made the difficult decision to cancel the IEEE 802
Plenary Session previously scheduled for 15-20 March in Atlanta. This
decision recognizes that government and company travel restrictions now
make it impossible for the LMSC to hold a successful face-to-face
plenary with all constituents of the 802 community fairly represented.
Please expect information from staff of Face To Face Events regarding arrangement for a full refund of your registration fees.
You
are responsible to cancel your hotel reservations. Details for
cancelling your Hilton Atlanta reservation will be provided directly via
email on Monday the 9th; please wait until you receive those
instructions before you cancel.
We recognize
that the timing of this decision has significantly inconvenienced many
of you. However, this decision was made out of deep concern for the
health and well-being of our volunteers, staff, vendors, and the Atlanta
community.
