The EVER Executive Board has considered the EVER 2020 Congress in September 2020 and has reviewed the situation with respect to all options available to us. In view of the serious international crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic the EVER Executive Board recommend that we draw up contingency plans to move the 2020 face-to-face meeting to 2021. This is after due consideration of our contractual obligations and their potential financial consequences. The EVER Board has passed this decision unanimously.
