Valued NFMT Partner, We hope this message finds you healthy and safe. As you know, National Facilities Management and Technology Conference and Expo — NFMT Baltimore 2020, originally scheduled for March 2020 was postponed to August of 2020 due to COVID-19. The Baltimore Convention Center informed us that due to the state's timeline for the State of Emergency and restriction on events, it was unable to host NFMT, forcing us to cancel the NFMT-Baltimore show in 2020. At the time of this announcement, in July, we activated the "force majeure clause" (section 20 in your contract) and provided you with two solutions for your commitment and investment you made in 2020; to refund 38% of your total investment or, to forward 100% of your investment to the NFMT 2021 March show. Recently, we made the difficult and unfortunate announcement that we were forced, once again, to cancel our October NFMT-Vegas show, originally scheduled for October 27-28, 2020. As a result, we now face a very growing and real concern from many of our valued exhibitors and attendees about the likelihood of a March 2021 event being fulfilled. We are all well aware of the continued escalation of the Covid-19 virus, extended travel bans moving into 2021 and restrictions on face to face gatherings. In addition to this concern, many of you have also expressed an immediate need to generate quality leads for your company and have requested to activate your NFMT value still in 2020. Because of this, we are reaching out once again with an additional option for your investment that you can activate right now, bypassing an uncertain future and receiving immediate benefits. Options:
*Please note that with this option comes the growing uncertainty surrounding large group gatherings in 2021. Should the Baltimore Convention Center remain unavailable for a March 2021 event or should government restrictions exist on travel and face to face gatherings, we would be forced to cancel the NFMT March 2021 show as well. Your value would be refunded at that time; however, the refund may be less than the current 38% due to growing expenses as we move closer to the March event. In the 20-year history of our very successful and popular NFMT events, we have never faced the unprecedented challenges that Covid-19 has brought us in 2020 and that we continue to face as we move forward into 2021. Our goal, however, is to remain a strong partner to your company and an outstanding and unmatched source of connectivity for you within the Facilities community. Please click the link below to make your selection no later than October 15, 2020. https://www.nfmt.com/exhibits/exhibitoroptions2020.aspx Note that if we do not receive your preferred selection by the end of the day on October 15, we will automatically send your company the standard 38% refund of your 2020 funds. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime if you would like. We are happy to expedite your options or answer any questions you may have. Until then, stay safe and healthy. We look forward to a continued relationship. Kindest regards, Laurie Vega |
