Planning for next ITMA world congress postponed for now
Due to the Covid epidemy we could not have our world congress as planned in China and the situation in the world now makes it difficult for delegates and board members from many countries to travel abroad at all.
So, an extra board meeting, after looking at the possibilities to hold a congress, decided to postpone this planning for now.
We have alternatives for countries to hold future ITMA world congresses but currently we have no announcement to make.
ITMA leadership will come back on the issue as soon as the situation in the world is more stable.
