Our top concern is always the safety of our ex-hibitors, attendees, speakers, sponsors and employees, along with supplier partners and venue staff. While we did not want to have to make this decision, we have found that we have no choice.” According to a spokesperson, event partners are evaluating other options to serve the industry. “FABTECH has long been a key element of AWS’ efforts to support and advance the welding com-munity,” said Gary Konarska, CEO of the American Welding Society. “We look forward to continuing to work with our FABTECH event partners to identify new and enhanced ways—both online and physical—to connect the FABTECH community, share knowledge about the latest industry products and develop-ments, and help companies move their business forward.” FABTECH will return as a face-to-face event in 2021, taking place Septem-ber 13-16 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. More than 1,700 exhibiting companies and more than 48,000 attendees are ex-pected to participate.
