Place-Based and Future Focused

POSTPONED : ANREP Conference : Bend, OR

COVID-19 Update from Conference Organizers (as of March 18, 2020):

The ANREP Planning Committee and ANREP Board have been working hard to gather the facts and prioritize the health and safety of our ANREP community. As such, the ANREP 2020 Conference, hosted at Sunriver Resort on May 3-6, 2020 has been postponed. 

We made this difficult decision to cancel our May 2020 dates due to health concerns related to the spread of the COVID-19. ANREP Planning Committee, ANREP Board and Oregon State University are committed to the health and well-being of the communities we engage and serve.  We strive to demonstrate a culture of care for all, particularly during times of uncertainty and disruption and recognize the importance of proactive planning and frequent communication to inform and provide for an effective response to an infectious disease outbreak.

What happens next? Stay tuned!  The Planning Committee and the Board will continue to work together to determine a new date for ANREP 2020.  It’s hard to close the doors on 24 ignite presentations, 84 presentations, 12 special sessions/workshops, 37 posters, 5 mobile workshops, 4 ANREP Initiative meetings, 1 post-conference workshop, 1 post-conference field tour, 10 sponsors, and social networking!  We will be in contact about future plans.
