The 4As is postponing its Management Practitioners Forum which was scheduled for late March in Chicago, given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. 

Now the group says it is moving the event to the fall, dates yet to be determined. “We are hopeful you understand that the need to reschedule MPF comes in the best interests of our members, speakers, sponsors, and employees, as we continue to assess the overall and evolving impact of coronavirus disease,” the group said in a statement. 

“We will provide frequent updates as information on the rescheduled MPF event date and details are solidified.” 

For now the 4A’s Decisions 20/20 Media, Data, Privacy & Technology event in New York is still set for April 20–21 as planned. 

“At the 4A’s, the safety of our members, staff, and conference guests is paramount. As we actively monitor news about coronavirus disease (COVID-19), our goal is to keep you as up-to-date as possible regarding currently scheduled events and our preparation plans.”
