IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Alpha Society has continued to closely monitor developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic to assess the impact on the 13th Biennial Alpha Conference, which had been postponed to take place in the beginning of 2021, at the Barcelo Sevilla Renacimiento Hotel in Sevilla, Spain.
As you are aware, we are still facing serious numbers of infections worldwide, travel bans in many countries have been extended, and there are continuing government and health authority restrictions on hosting events and congresses.
Because Alpha Society’s main concern is the safety and well-being of our conference attendees, we are announcing that the 13th Biennial Alpha Conference is now scheduled to take place from September 16 – 19, 2021 at the Barcelo Sevilla Renacimiento Hotel in Sevilla, Spain.
We believe that postponing the 13th Alpha Biennial Conference until September 2021 will offer a better Congress experience for all our delegates, speakers and sponsors and the opportunity to fully appreciate the beauty of Sevilla.
We would like to thank you for your support and collaboration throughout this period, and express our gratitude for your ongoing commitment in the upcoming months.
As the Alpha Conference takes place every two years, this will not be considered a cancellation but a postponement of the 2020 Congress to 2021 and we have planned to apply the same postponement procedure as previously.
For our registrants and sponsors we note the following :
- If you are a sponsor, your sponsorship package will be maintained according to your current booking. Our sponsorship team will be in close contact with you over the coming weeks and months to ensure your booked items are carefully implemented according to the new dates. Please note there are no changes to the session room or Exhibition area.
- The programme remains as it is currently scheduled. If you are holding a symposium or pre-congress workshop and need to make any changes to the content, please contact [email protected] .
- If you have already registered, and/or submitted your group registration, for the Conference, your registrations are automatically maintained for the new dates, with the same conditions.
- If you have made your hotel booking through the Alpha official PCO, your booking is automatically maintained for the new dates.
- For travel arrangements, Alpha recommends that you contact your travel agency or flight company as soon as possible to modify your booking.
- The abstract submission system has been re-opened for delegates who wish to submit an abstract https://alphaconference2021.org/?p=abstract .
Alpha Society would like to thank all of our Conference delegates, members and supporters for their cooperation and understanding during this extraordinary and difficult time. We are working hard to ensure that the 13th Alpha Biennial Conference will be a success and we look forward to welcoming you to the Conference!
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these arrangements, please contact [email protected] or [email protected] .
