MHEDA says the 2020 Convention is still on, for now

In a email sent to its members on Friday, March 13th, Liz Richards, CEO of the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association (MHEDA) says everything is still on for the MHEDA Convention May 2 – 6, 2020 in Orlando, Fla.

“While many companies have instituted work from home policies and issued travel bans because of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, we understand the uncertainty about MHEDA’s convention moving forward as planned. As of today, most of these bans have been put in place for two weeks and some for up to 30 days. Since MHEDA’s convention starts on May 2, we will be closely monitoring this situation and will keep everyone apprised of our plans.” said Richards. “In the meantime, MHEDA is working with the Hilton Bonnet Creek, the local and state government and health officials, and will communicate with you regularly as developments occur. The health and safety of our members and the MHEDA team remains at the forefront.” added Richards.
