After much deliberation and thoughtful consideration, HDA has decided to cancel the 2020 Distribution Management Conference and Expo (DMC) that was slated to begin Sunday, March 8, in San Diego. 
 
Based on additional information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that older adults and high-risk Americans "stay at home as much as possible" as well as circumstances surrounding a recent healthcare conference in Boston that has resulted in the self-quarantine of all attendees, HDA is confident that this is the right decision. We apologize for the late notice and inconvenience, however, the health and well-being of our attendees is our highest priority. 
 
These new developments along with continuing concerns about the scope of the viral outbreak, corporate travel restrictions and the very real personal concerns of attendees made it difficult to proceed with the quality of program that you have come to expect from HDA. We sincerely appreciate and thank all of our meeting registrants, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors. In the coming weeks we will look into alternative approaches to provide some of the content that was planned for DMC 2020.   
 
We hope you will be patient as we process conference refunds. In the meantime, please cancel your hotel reservations as soon as possible at the Marriott Marquis.
