The Association of the U.S. Army is delaying registration for its annual meeting as it continues to plan for the October event amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Registration, ticket sales and hotel reservations for the 2020 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition are now delayed until Aug. 3. The meeting is scheduled for Oct. 12-14 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

AUSA continues to plan the annual meeting and is studying a range of possibilities to ensure a safe and effective event. “We are monitoring the ongoing conditions resulting from COVID-19 and making carefully considered decisions,” said retired Lt. Gen. Patricia McQuistion, AUSA’s vice president for membership and meetings.

AUSA will adhere to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the government and health department and consult with conference stakeholders and partners.

“The health, safety and well-being of our members and invited guests remain our highest priorities,” McQuistion said.

The AUSA Annual Meeting typically draws more than 32,000 attendees and more than 680 exhibitors, making it the largest landpower exposition and professional development forum in North America.
