BNP Media (Troy, Michigan), organizers of the annual Converters Expo, have announced that in response to the worldwide outbreak of Coronavirus, they’ve rescheduled the event to August 24-25, 2020 at the same location – the Lambeau Field Atrium in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The 13th Annual Converters Expo was originally scheduled to take place April 29-30, 2020.
“Our thoughts are with all of those currently impacted by COVID 19/Coronavirus,” said Glen Gudino, Group Publisher for the BNP Media Packaging Group. “The safety and the well-being of everyone who attends the Converters Expo is paramount, and with this unprecedented situation unfolding, we have a responsibility to our customers, our guests and our colleagues to provide a safe place for our exhibitors and attendees to interact and communicate face-to-face. We had a large number of attendees and exhibitors who committed to participate for the April event, and look forward to a successful and safe gathering on August 24-25 in Green Bay.”
BNP Media added that it will continue to work very closely with the city of Green Bay, Lambeau Field Atrium, and local state and federal public health authorities to maintain constant communication on this front. Exhibitors and attendees will be contacted directly by BNP staff about details of the move.
