Title: PIPEX 2020 URGENT NOTICE....
Post by: Marc Gonzales on March 16, 2020, 02:26:52 PM

Meximailers,
The MEPSI convention planned for this year was to be held in Portland in early May at PIPEX.  Due to COVID-19 I believe it is inevitable the show will be cancelled.  Although we have not received a formal cancellation notice yet I am told that once the Oregon government mandates the closure of all meetings of over 50 people then formal notification of the closure will take place.  Right now the government notice goes through March and April, once extended into May we will get a cancellation notice and I will post that here.  www.stamps.org which is the APS website has a list of cancellations already in place.  So far shows in March and April have been shut down.


Although there is still a very slim chance it will take place I suggest that no airline flights or reservations that are not refundable be made.  Thank you.
Marc E. Gonzales

I want to inform everyone that PIPEX2020 has officially been cancelled due to the COVID 19 pandemic.  Prepaid exhibit and banquet fees will be refunded.  During these trying times please stay healthy.
