**UPDATE**
After careful consideration, and in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO) have made the difficult decision to postpone the Safeguarding 2020: Bringing the Future into Focus conference until summer of 2021. This will enable us to provide the experience, engagement, and outcomes our partners and stakeholders expect and deserve in a safe environment.
We will announce the new dates and other details in the coming weeks. If you have any questions, please contact Heather Curlett, Communications Manager, at heather.l.curlett@usda.gov.
