Subject: *CORRECTED* ASME Boiler Code Week at the Gaylord Rockies Hotel & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado (May 10-15, 2020)
Dear ASME volunteers and other registered participants,
As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be a global issue, ASME and the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors are monitoring developments on a daily basis, including recommended guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Our primary concern is the health and safety of those who attend our conferences and meetings.
In an effort to ensure the safety of all, ASME and the Board have decided to make significant changes to how the May ASME BPV Code Week and National Board Annual Meeting are convened. There will be no face-to-face ASME BPV committee meetings at the Gaylord Rockies Hotel & Convention Center. However, ASME will conduct and provide the necessary support for virtual meetings of the various committees that normally convene.
ASME Standards and Certification staff will be in touch with the leadership of their respective committees to begin planning alternative meeting arrangements. Additionally, detailed announcements of plans for all meetings will be forthcoming from ASME staff to all volunteers. Please feel free to contact ASME Standards and Certification staff with questions regarding those when they become available.
Please note that the Gaylord Rockies Hotel & Convention Center has cancelled all existing sleeping room reservations associated with the event, and will issue cancelation notifications. Anyone with reservations at other hotels, or outside of the ASME room block should cancel your reservation directly.
Thank you for your continued support of ASME.
