After careful consideration, ERICSA 2020, scheduled initially May 17-21, 2020, has been RESCHEDULED to Tuesday, November 17- Saturday, November 21, 2020.

Growing concerns over the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak have prompted the rescheduling by the ERICSA Board of Directors. Our top priority is the health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees, sponsors, presenters, and staff. Therefore, we will continually monitor the health situation and make appropriate decisions about holding the conference as the health, legal and travel situations unfold in the coming months. It is our hope to be able to conduct a great conference in the tradition and spirit of ERICSA, which will be dependent on the situation in these unprecedented times.

We are working to provide you with as many details as possible, and we genuinely appreciate your patience as we take our next steps. We understand there will be a lot of questions and concerns following this announcement. Please see the FAQ below.

We would like to  thank  everyone who helps to make our annual conference possible and recognize that it does not happen without your support. The conversations we’ve had over the last several weeks have proven  how lucky we all are to be part of this incredible and  supportive association.

We look forward to welcoming you to Savannah in November. We know our community will come together and help everyone through these times. The ERICSA team extends to all our best wishes for health and a safe course forward.
