We know that COVID-19 is foremost in the news and in a lot of people’s minds right now; Much like you, we are deeply concerned about the impact to the health and well being of our membership from the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We are closely monitoring information on a national and local level and we are proceeding accordingly. While the situation is very fluid, we are currently strongly committed to proceeding with CONvergence August 2020.

We have heard from a number of you with concerns, and we wanted to make sure to address these concerns as best we can. Rest assured, our priority is the health and welfare of all of our community and we will take the best measures we can to ensure everyone’s wellbeing. While we want you to attend, we still urge you to do what you think is in the best interests of your health and the welfare of you and your family because that, ultimately, is more important than anything else.  

We will continue to monitor the situation, and are prepared to update our plans as the situation changes. We promise that we will keep you all informed as best we can with information as it becomes available.  

We also want you to know that your input means a lot, and makes a difference, so please feel free to reach out with concerns and ideas you might have.

Sincerely,

CONvergence Board of Directors

As our community knows, the Convergence Events, Inc. Board of Directors has chosen to move CONvergence from the DoubleTree Bloomington to the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis starting with our twenty-first convention on July 4th – 7th, 2019.  

Due to conditions outside of the Board of Directors’ control, this decision had to be made quickly in order to secure the location for the next five years.  This has resulted in possible convention dates outside our normal convention dates. To do otherwise would have resulted in additional moves to other hotels, more extreme date changes, and/or limited convention space and events.

Currently, our convention dates for 2020, 2021, and 2022 are tentatively set for the month of August.  The Convergence Events, Inc. Board of Directors and the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis team are continuing to review the availability and schedule of event space in order to bring CONvergence closer to our regular convention schedule without limiting or changing the convention that our community has built over the years.  Announcement of exact convention dates for the next year will be made during the Closing ceremonies as always and will give members twelve months of notice.

We will be returning to our convention’s typical dates in July 2023.  

Thank you for everything that you do as part of our convention membership. We hope to see you July 4th-7th 2019 for CONvergence 21 as we transition to our new location the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.
