Billed as the first major conference to focus solely on the health and well-being of people through improved buildings, technologies, products and more, the inaugural WELL Conference has been rescheduled to August 16-19.
The event, which is being produced by a collaboration of the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and CE Pro parent company Emerald, was originally set to be staged March 29-April 1 at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, Ariz.
According to a statement posted to the conference website:
“The health and safety of each and every member of our community and staff are of utmost importance to us. After continuous monitoring and careful consideration of the most recent information provided about the coronavirus (COVID-19) by the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, and after consultation and deliberation with many members of our community, we have rescheduled The WELL Conference to August 16-19, 2020. The event will still take place at the Fairmont Princess in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.
“We believe rescheduling our inaugural conference to the second half of the year is the best option at this time to ensure a successful event for attendees, speakers and sponsors alike. Though there are no current government-mandated travel bans in the US, many participants are honoring travel restrictions implemented by their companies exercising prudent caution.”
