Rod Smith, Producer and Publisher of Best Practices EXPO & Magazines, said the Best Practices 2020 EXPO & Conference was postponed due to continued uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 virus.

　　Smith said enthusiasm remains high citing organizations like the Compressed Air & Gas Institute (CAGI) and Compressed Air Challenge (CAC) who have confirmed their continued participation in the 2021 event, including on-site CAGI Compressed Air System Specialist examinations and CAC Level 1 and Level 2 Training Courses.

　　In a related announcement, the Best Practices 2020 ONLINE EVENT! will be held September 23-24, 2020. The online event will feature live keynote presentations, a discussion forum and hours of pre-recorded sessions from experts throughout the industry.

　　“The decision to postpone the 2020 Best Practices EXPO & Conference is in the best interest of all attendees who planned to attend our rapidly growing annual event,” Smith said. “Our discussions with event sponsors have been very well received with the overwhelming majority signing up for a fantastic event in 2021. At the same time, we’re excited to offer the Best Practices 2020 ONLINE EVENT! This is a great opportunity for maintenance teams, energy managers, specifying engineers and sales engineers to receive training (and PDH hours)! Registration is FREE to all!”
