GA Conference 2020 cancellation notice

There have been few occasions when the GA Conference has been cancelled or relocated since it first began in 1921. Remember that the conference used to be held over the New Year period. It has also been quite peripatetic, visiting lots of cities before settling into the current rotation, with Sheffield replacing Derby as one of the venues.

With a certain inevitability, this was sad news that was passed on yesterday. 

Best wishes to Harriet, Becky and all the conference team, plus Alan Kinder and of course Gill Miller, who has been building up to this highlight of her own Presidential year.


We hope there may be some online sessions, and perhaps a concatenation of events into 2021, or perhaps something later in the year. At this stage, nothing has been planned of that nature. A real pity not to be meeting with hundreds of friends from around the world in a few weeks' time.
Stay safe everyone.
You may have a chance to catch up with all the previous Presidents' entries and learn about the history of the Geographical Association.
