2021 NECCC Conference Update

There have been a couple big announcements made in regards to this years NECCC Conference.  The first you’ve likely assumed, and even despite things in regards to COVID going in the right direction the conference will be postponed until 2022.  Here is a note from conference coordinator Susan Mosser that explains their decision to postpone.

With the pressures of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, NECCC has decided to postpone our 75th Anniversary Conference to 2022. This is obviously not a decision we made easily or one that we wanted to make. Certainly, if you asked us last July, we would never have anticipated having to postpone the 2021 conference. We have been hopeful that it would be safe to hold our 900-person event, but here we are despite the light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine rollouts, having to postpone again. When we started looking at state and local restrictions, social distancing, allowable room capacities, how to safely feed everyone for three days, along with travel restrictions for both our attendees and speakers, and other safety questions, it just became apparent that there were too many variables to work out. As we had planning and publishing deadlines looming, we made the difficult decision to postpone to 2022.

Despite what a bummer it is to have the conference postponed yet again we do have something pretty neat to look forward to this summer.  As a thanks to everyone’s understanding and continued support the conference committee worked with some of the scheduled speakers and put together a one day online event.  Here is more on this event from Susan.

To thank everyone for being a part of the NECCC family, we will be holding a one-day online event on Saturday, July 17th featuring speakers Richard Bernabe, Andre Gallant, ANEC and Freeman Patterson. Along with our speakers, Hunt’s Photo & Video will be joining us; there will be an event projected image competition and $1000 in door prizes.
