Format and content to be adapted and provided in alternative ways

Owing to the situation in Europe regarding the outbreak of Covid-19, the Executive Board, with deep regret, took a unanimous decision to cancel the 51^st EPRA meeting which was due to take place on 13-15 May 2020 in Antwerp. This was not an easy decision to make but given the restrictions throughout Europe which are still on the rise, and no indications that the situation will improve any time soon, this was the best and safest decision to make.

• The Board is currently discussing how to best adapt the content and the format planned for the spring meeting so that EPRA can still bring its community together to discuss the important topics proposed for Antwerp in alternative ways. 

The Board would like to thank the host of the meeting, The Flemish Regulatory Authority for the Media (VRM), who has been working for a full year on the organisation of what promised to be a memorable event.

Hoping that the measures taken both in Europe and beyond will be effective in minimizing the risk of further spreading of the virus and loss of lives and that the situation will be under control – in the meantime, we wish you all the best.

Stay safe.

The EPRA Board
