BMSS Environmental & Food Analysis SIG meeting 2020
Welcome to the event page for the BMSS Environmental & Food Analysis Special Interest Group (EFASIG) Meeting 2020.
EVENT CANCELLATION
Following publication by Public Health England (16-MAR-20) of their COVID-19 Guidance for Mass Gatherings (and subsequent guidance). The EFASIG Coordinators have decided, with regret, that it is prudent to CANCEL the EFASIG2020 meeting scheduled for 23-JUL-20.
All registered delegates will have their fees refunded in full. Refunds may not show on delegates' card accounts for up to four weeks. Registered delegates who have not received their refund by the 21-APR-20 should contact the BMSS Administrator: admin@bmss.org.uk
All sponsors' and exhibitors' contractual obligations will be cancelled, for this event, and any pre-payments will be refunded in full.
EFASIG will not be rescheduled within 2020. We plan to evaluate options to reschedule in spring/summer 2021. Information on our future plans will be posted on the BMSS website and circulated via the BMSS News Group.
Thank you for your understanding!
