The City of Philadelphia recently issued new guidelines regarding strategies to increase public health and safety due to COVID-19 and released the following statement:

“At this time, public health officials are strongly recommending that all events over 250 participants be cancelled or postponed. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, we will be postponing the 2020 Diversity and Inclusion Conference and will now hold the event October 5-6, 2020.

“Please know that this decision was made with careful consideration. The health and safety of our conference speakers and attendees is our primary concern, and we will continue to follow the recommendations of local and national health officials.

“Should you have questions about your hotel reservation, registration fee, or other travel-related items, please consult our registration page ( http://diphilly.com/faqs ) which contains a list of  Frequently Asked Questions .

“We look forward to hosting the Diversity and Inclusion Conference in October 2020 and hope to see you all there.”
