ASTM Cancels In-Person Meetings Until February 2021

All in-person standards development meetings will go virtual into the new year.

In light of Covid-19 and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International has canceled all scheduled in-person January and February 2021 standards development meetings (including independent meetings). 
 
Earlier this year, in July, ASTM International canceled all in-person meetings for the remainder of 2020.
 
According to ASTM, these decisions were based on several factors, including, but not limited to:
 

  • Continued review of information and recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and other governmental bodies,
  • Input from ASTM International members whose organizations are concerned with travel, and
  • Specific information on projected restrictions in the city of Louisville, KY provided by the January Committee Week hotel.
 
“Although all fall in-person standards development meetings (including independent meetings) were previously canceled through the end of the year, the important work of our committees will continue virtually over the next few months,” the organization stated.
