Due to current developments relating to the new Coronavirus, it has been necessary to postpone the 15th World Holstein Conference, General Assembly and Classifier Workshop by one year to 21-27 March 2021.
The WHFF Council and the Swiss Federations, Holstein Switzerland and swissherdbook, have today assessed the current world situation regarding coronavirus and regret to inform you that the WHFF Conference, General Assembly and Classifiers workshop planned for 23-28 March 2020, will be postponed until March 2021.
Details will follow in the coming weeks, however, rest assured that the Council is working towards the best outcome possible for registered participants.
While both the organizing associations Holstein Switzerland and swissherdbook, and the WHFF, greatly regret having been obliged to make this decision, they consider it to be the most appropriate solution.
The existing registrations for the 2020 conference remain valid for the 2021 conference. Although, in accordance with the Terms & Conditions, it is not possible for any refunds to be made, registration fees, which have already been paid, are to be credited to their respective participants for the following year. While no statement can be made at this point with regard to hotel costs, the organizers are presently in negotiation with local hotel providers.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to all organizers, breeding associations, partners, and sponsors for their extensive involvement in the planning of the conference up to this point, and look forward to continued mutual cooperation for the delivery of the 15th World Holstein Conference, General Assembly and Classifier Workshop on 21-27 March 2021!
Thank you for your understanding and support of this difficult decision. Protecting human health concerns during the current issue is a larger priority.
