Collection Systems Conference 2020

WEF is currently proceeding as originally planned to hold the Collection Systems Conference beginning June 2, 2020 in El Paso, TX. However, we want to assure you that public health remains WEF’s number one priority.

We continue to monitor the situation in El Paso and the larger effects of coronavirus across North America. We remain in regular contact with the headquarters hotel, the El Paso Convention Center, and local health officials.

WEF will notify all participants at once if the status of the event changes. We will try to do this immediately after receiving guidance from our partners and health officials in El Paso. In the case WEF must cancel or postpone the event, all participants will be eligible for a full refund or credit of any registration, exhibition, or sponsorship fees paid to WEF.

Please stay up to date on WEF’s latest efforts on WEF Events Coronavirus Update page.
