American Herbal Products Association Goes Virtual For Remainder Of 2020

The American Herbal Products Association has announced all activities normally held as in-person meetings will instead be produced as virtual events, webinars or teleconferences for the balance of 2020.

This change in plans will impact the:

• Hemp-CBD Supplement Congress — Aug. 27
• inaugural Sports Nutrition Congress — Sept. 2
• annual Botanical Congress — Nov. 10

Each of these events will be professionally produced on an interactive virtual platform and will provide substantive content, dynamic speakers and optimized opportunities for one-on-one interactions.

In addition, the meetings of the AHPA Board of Trustees and numerous committees that usually occur at Supply Side West will be rescheduled as teleconferences.

AHPA will also continue to conduct educational webinars exploring issues most relevant to your businesses.

Look for additional updates from us in the coming weeks as AHPA staff finalizes plans for these activities.

“Our decision to ‘go virtual’ for the rest of 2020 prioritizes the health and safety of the AHPA staff and our member companies and industry colleagues,” said AHPA President Michael McGuffin. “This decision also reflects our understanding that late postponements and rescheduling of in-person events can be disruptive to your work. We will now be able to finalize dates and plans with certainty, which will allow you to do the same.”

“Even as we make this change in organizing our events, I want to assure you that AHPA’s commitment to its mission of promoting responsible commerce of herbal products remains unchanged during these times.”
