It is with heartfelt disappointment that we must announce today the official cancellation of AXPONA 2020 that was to be held August 7-9.  We make this decision out of concern for the health and safety of all AXPONA participants.  We thank everyone who had committed to making the 2020 event the largest and most attended AXPONA in history.  These are enormously challenging times for everyone and it is our hope that we all stay strong, caring, healthy and united.  Our industry will come through this together and we will be in a better and safer world on the other side of this crisis.

 

We know everyone is hurting right now.  Some more than others.  Many businesses in many industries are being hammered by the impact of this pandemic.  JD Events, the producer of AXPONA, in particular is facing a financial calamity due to the disastrous impact on tradeshows.  Many expenses have already been spent on the show that we will not recoup.

 

We are actively working on 2021 but wanted to get this message out to you as quickly as possible to advise that we will be offering refunds if requested.  We are however hoping that you may consider rolling over your 2020 ticket to the 2021 event to help us.  As a token of appreciation, you will receive a FREE companion ticket for next year’s event.  If you are not in a position to do so, you will receive your refund, no questions asked. 

 

Please respond by June 1^st, 2020 to [email protected] and let us know one of the following options: 

 

-          Yes I want a full refund.  Your refund will be submitted on the Friday of the week you submit it and refunds then take 7-10 business days to appear on your credit card statement once processed.

 

-          I want to help ensure AXPONA’s long-term success please transfer my ticket to 2021 and in appreciation I will take a free companion ticket for 2021.  Details how to register for the companion ticket will be sent in early 2021 once ticket sales are available. 

 

On a positive note, we are excited by the response to the “AXPONA Livestream” event on what would’ve been our April 17 opening day. We plan to conduct more virtual events in the coming months to keep the community connected during this down time.

 

It remains our pleasure to serve this great industry. Thank you all for your understanding and your support.

 

Best,

Jenabeth
