It is with a heavy heart we inform you that we have decided to postpone the upcoming 2020 Professional Development Day Conference + Workshop due to the increasing concerns for Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It is important to remember that the risk to Albertans is still low. However, we would like to take precautionary measures until the true threat that the Coronavirus represents to Canada is better understood.

This was not an easy decision to make as we have been working hard to present the Conference + Workshop to you. The mission of the IIBA Edmonton Chapter is to promote the standards, practice, and contribution of Business Analysis and to support the certification of its practitioners within the communities that we serve. We hope we continue making the mission thrive in the future.

We completely understand how frustrating this can be. Many of you have been looking forward to coming to the PD Day and have already made the necessary arrangements. This is, however, an unprecedented issue, which we are taking seriously. There is no higher priority for us than the health, safety and physical well-being of each of you.

Our go forward plan is to have the Conference + Workshop later in the year; sometime in Fall 2020 pending confirmation that the Coronavirus no longer poses a threat and it is safe to congregate again. We will continue to monitor the situation and send an update in the summer.

If you have already registered for PD Day, for either the conference or workshop, you have the option of requesting a full refund or keeping your registration for the future date. Please email events@edmonton.iiba.org to arrange for this.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Regards,
IIBA Edmonton Chapter
