BOMA International Conference POSTPONED

BOMA International has decided to move the 2021 BOMA International Conference & Expo in Boston to October 6–9, 2021.  Click for the full statement. 
Per BOMA International:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, BOMA International has decided to move the 2021 BOMA International Conference & Expo in Boston to October 6–9, 2021.  

 
As you know, the event was originally scheduled to take place July 18–21.  Last week, the Governor of Massachusetts announced a staggered Phase 4 reopening, whereby strict restrictions on indoor event capacities will remain in place until August 1, and the City of Boston subsequently announced they will delay the state's reopening guidance by three weeks. We had expected these restrictions to be lifted well before July and we were surprised and disappointed by the news. Although we had planned to implement pandemic safety protocols, the current capacity restrictions will make it impossible for us to provide the fun and engaging conference experience we had planned for July. 
 
We know the commercial real estate industry is looking forward to reconnecting in person after a long period of separation, so rather than canceling this important educational and networking event, we have moved it to October 6–9. The health and safety of our attendees is our top priority, and we are taking precautions to create a safe conference environment. We look forward to welcoming you in October, when you'll be able to thoroughly enjoy the conference and everything the city of Boston has to offer.
 
Your registration will automatically be transferred to the October 6–9 event.  We recognize, however, that some individuals may have a conflict with the new dates. If you are no longer able to attend due to the rescheduling, we will refund your registration fee.  If you need to cancel your registration, please contact Kanwal Saluja, Director of Registration, at ksaluja@boma.org.
 
If you had reserved a hotel room for July within the BOMA room block, your reservation will automatically be canceled, and we will send you a link to make a new reservation under BOMA's new room block dates. Please allow a couple weeks for the link to be sent as we re-program and re-open the housing site. If you reserved a hotel room outside of BOMA's hotel room block, you'll need to cancel the reservation yourself.
 
We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you to BOMA 2021 in October. To view the revised schedule of events please visit www.BOMAconference.org.  In the meantime, we encourage all attendees to get vaccinated if you can, and we look forward to seeing you in Boston on October 6 - 9!
