New York federation moves May event to October

The Federation of New York Solid Waste Associations has announced that its 2020 conference and trade show previously scheduled for May 17-20 has been rescheduled to Oct. 4-7. The event, postponed because of the COVID-19 virus, remains at The Sagamore in Bolton Landing, New York.

The federation indicates its intention is “for everything to stay the same, except instead of the trees budding, the leaves will be falling.” Individuals and companies who had registered to take part in May have been contacted says the federation, and room nights at The Sagamore have been transferred to the October dates.

Adds the federation, “Our goal is to move all the May sessions and speakers to the new dates. All moderators and speakers are being contacted separately regarding availability.” An online updated Conference Program will be available July 3, says the group.

The May program had been planned to include more than 75 technical sessions and 110 trade show exhibits, along with recreational activities at the Adirondack Mountains lodge, adds the federation.

The Federation of New York Solid Waste Associations describes itself as the umbrella organization for the New York State Association for Reduction, Reuse & Recycling; the New York State Association for Solid Waste Management; and the Solid Waste Association of North America - New York State Chapter.
