Dear participants,

We regret to announce that following the measures taken by the French and other governments so as to limit the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, and the uncertainty linked to the short to medium term, the organizers and the affi board have decided that the best and most responsible action is to postpone the AFFI conference to May 26-28, 2021. This will allow time for the issues to be resolved and for us to meet and enjoy the conference in a more convivial spirit, without imposing undue pressure to your schedule that will already be busy as a result of the pandemic and its side effects.

For those who have already paid the registration fee: The registration fee will be automatically refunded in full (subject to any possible banking handing fees/charges that are not under our control)

Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information : affi2020@audencia.com

We will advertise the new event in October but you can retain the dates and plan this trip way ahead. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the postponement of this event and the developing pandemic and we hope to see all or most of you in 2021.

keep strong, keep well
