The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE, Diamond Bar, Calif., U.S.) announced on April 10 that the SAMPE Seattle conference in Seattle, Wash., U.S., which was originally scheduled for May 4-7 and then postponed to November, has been canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“We believe this is the responsible thing to do considering the challenges introduced by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19),” says Tim Shaughnessy, president of SAMPE North America. “The health and safety of our members, exhibitors, attendees, staff, and community are our top priority, making it inadvisable for our community to gather for our traditional SAMPE Spring technical conference and tradeshow.”
SAMPE 2021 is scheduled to take place May 24-27, 2021 in Long Beach, Calif., U.S. For more information on the cancellation, visit the .
