As a result of the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, the Vertical Flight Society has made the decision to hold its 77th Annual Forum & Technology Display completely virtually. Originally planned for a hybrid virtual/in-person event on May 11-13 in West Palm Beach, Florida, the event will be expanded to the full five days of the week, May 10-14, 2021, and be held online only.
The safety and well-being of its members, staff and attendees is VFS’s paramount concern. VFS made the decision after careful evaluation of the pandemic in light of the slow progress in vaccinations, extremely high current Covid-19 infection rates, and the increasing appearance of new, more dangerous strains. In addition, an extensive survey of current and past members was conducted, with conclusive results supporting the perspective of the VFS headquarters staff and board of directors that conditions would be highly unlikely to be sufficient for a safe, robust in-person component of Forum 77.
