ACPA’s 77th Annual Meeting Cancellation FAQs

Why was ACPA’s 77th Annual Meeting canceled?
The State of Oregon has limited meetings of more than 250 people, which means ACPA’s meeting cannot take place.
How can I cancel my hotel room reservation?
All attendees must cancel their own hotel reservations. There will be no fee to cancel reservations made in the ACPA block at the Hilton Portland Downtown or the Duniway if cancellation is made 72 hours prior to check-in. Call the hotel at (503) 226-1611. Cancellation policies may vary at other hotels. We encourage you to cancel reservations as early as possible.
Will the meeting be rescheduled?
There are no plans to reschedule ACPA’s 77th Annual Meeting.
How does this affect ACPA financially?
While the Annual Meeting is ACPA’s largest source of revenue, ACPA is in a stable fiscal position with ample excess reserves. We will be working with the Hilton Portland Downtown. The State of Oregon has limited meetings of more than 250 people, which may limit ACPA’s financial risk.
Are there alternative plans for the meeting?
At this time, there are no alternative plans. The Board of Directors understands how important it is for the community to gather each year and is exploring other options.  Any additional information will be shared in the near future. Further updates regarding the meeting will be published on https://acpa-cpf.org/annual-meeting/.
Will any sessions be made available virtually?
ACPA is still investigating the feasibility of online sessions. Attendees will be contacted with further information.
Will paid attendee registrations be refunded?
Anyone who has paid a registration fee to ACPA will have refund options.  Thank you for your patience. More information will be made available in the next two weeks, and all refunds will be processed within 90 days. We request that you do not contact ACPA about your refund and wait for the email that will outline your refund options and the procedures.
Will ACPA refund flight or other travel costs?
No, ACPA is not responsible for travel expenses or penalties under any circumstances for issues beyond our control such as weather conditions. Attendees voluntarily assume all risks involved in travel to and from the meeting and in attendance at and participation in the program. Attendees, speakers and exhibitors should cancel any personal arrangements they’ve made, such as travel and housing reservations.
What if I require documentation that the meeting was cancelled?
ACPA issued an official email announcing the meeting cancellation. The email can be used as documentation.
Will awards still be presented?
Award winners and nominators will receive a follow up contact regarding the 2019 Association Awards. Please be patient as ACPA works toward a solution that is meaningful and memorable for the honorees.
Can I resubmit my abstract for next year?
ACPA will issue guidance in the near future on the process for submission for 2021.
Will the 2020 ACPA Annual Business Meeting be held?
No, the 2020 in-person ACPA Annual Business Meeting will not be held. The Board plans to send an update to the all voting members in April.
