Conference Canceled:

Safety first. We regret to inform you that because of the recent COVID-19 virus outbreak in this immediate area, the 33rd Annual Best in the West Conference has been canceled for this year. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for attendees, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors. Student scholarship recipients will still receive their scholarship checks by mail, as we are still giving out $14,000 in scholarships this year.

For those of you who have already made payment for the 2020 BitW Conference, we are hopeful that you will consider your conference payment as a donation to support student scholarships.

However, if you need a refund, please contact us via email at bitwconference@gmail.com and we will process these requests as soon as we can.

• Payments that were originally made via credit card will be refunded to the original credit card via our PayPal account.
• Payments that were originally made via check will be refunded by a Best in the West check. We will mail the BitW check to the address on the original check, unless you specify otherwise.

Again, amounts not refunded will be considered as donations that support student scholarships.

If you made hotel reservations for the Holiday Inn, you need to cancel those personally. They will not blanket cancel all the rooms or call you.

If you have any questions, please contact Doug Hoy at (605) 940-1055 or dough@sayreassociates.com or Jim McNulty at (605) 786-4959 or bitwconference@gmail.com.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you at next year?s conference.
