After careful review and analysis of the current pandemic situation as it relates to meetings and tradeshows, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the AVX event to 2021. Having spent the past year preparing for the show with our planning committee, exhibitors, event sponsors, and potential speakers we're genuinely disappointed not to be able to host you this Fall. Safety continues to be our highest priority!
