A.
With the pressures of the continued COVID-19 pandemic, NECCC has decided to postpone our 75th Anniversary Conference to
2022. This is obviously not a decision we made easily or one that we wanted
to make. Certainly, if you asked us last July, we would never have anticipated
having to postpone the 2021 conference. We have been hopeful that it would be
safe to hold our 900-person event, but here we are despite the light at the end
of the tunnel with the vaccine rollouts, having to postpone again. When we
started looking at state and local restrictions, social distancing, allowable
room capacities, how to safely feed everyone for three days, along with travel restrictions
for both our attendees and speakers, and other safety questions, it just became
apparent that there were too many variables to work out, so we made the difficult decision to postpone to
2022.
The 75th
Anniversary conference in 2022 is going to be extra special but with too many
moving parts to turn it into an online event: 3 Keynote Presenters–Scott Kelby, Frans Lanting, and Corey Rich, a special showcase dedicated to New
England Photographers, a plethora of top-rated speakers, demonstrations, interactive
sessions, conference & pre-conference workshops, photo walks, NECCC female models,
character models and much more.
If you rolled your 2020
registration fee over to the 2021 conference, you will be getting a special
email from Susan Mosser regarding this. Please put s.jmosser@comcast.net in your contact list.
