PCA announced today it will cancel the PCA Convention and Trade Show that was scheduled to take place July 10-14, 2020 at the Sands/Venetian Convention Center and Hotel due to public health and safety concerns related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
As a way for us to promote our members who are offering new ways to service customers at this time, we have created a webpage that lists out all stores in a given state, location, and what they are currently offering (curbside, to-go, limited customers in store, delivery, etc.). This is constantly being updated as we get information in from our retail members.
In the table, you can see brand by brand what their current status is for attendance based on what we know now. This is a list that we'll keep updated as information becomes available.
The PCA 2020 show will be full, with the family-owned manufacturers who support the brick and mortar retailers and whose products fill our humidors. It is more important than ever that family-owned businesses that built this industry come together.
