The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association has made the difficult, but obvious decision to postpone the America East News Media Summit scheduled for March 30-April 1, 2020 due to COVID-19.
We have been closely monitoring updates and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as state and local governments. We have also been actively following travel advisories and restrictions being placed on many news media personnel. The health, safety and well-being of our members, staff, exhibitors and other stakeholders is of paramount importance.
We do not yet have the new dates for the conference; however, we will provide them as soon as they become available.
Please feel free to contact Mary Firestone, Manager of Meetings and Member Services at events@panewsmedia.org or 717-703-3069 with any questions.
