Due to the escalating COVID-19 outbreak and the need for social distancing, theMART, along with key industry stakeholders, have made the decision to postpone NeoCon 2020, originally scheduled for June 8-10, in Chicago.
The health and welfare of all NeoCon participants, as well as local, national and international communities at large, are the highest priority according to a statement released the MART. For the past several weeks, theMART has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation with partners and city and state officials. It is now clear to the organizers that postponement is the correct decision and all those involved with the June event have new information with which to plan accordingly.
Going forward NeoCon partners and constituencies will work together to determine the best option for alternate dates. Updated plans will be communicated as soon as possible.
