Erring on the side of prudence and being sensitive to the health and safety precautions of the current situation, IGLTA made the decision now in order to give participants time to prepare.
The convention was scheduled to take place in Milan, Italy, from May 6-9, 2020, but the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association stated it will push the event to September or October of this year.
Just yesterday, meeting and event leaders made a plea that as organizers make their decisions in these current times dealing with the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak whether to cancel, postpone, or maintain event dates, that these decisions are based on facts and not fear.
