National Money Show 2021 in Phoenix Officially Canceled
Board of Governors voted on December 16 to officially cancel the
Phoenix National Money Show, scheduled for March 11-13, 2021, due to heightened coronavirus concerns. The vote was 7-2, with the majority of the Board expressing concerns about the Association’s inability to assure the safety of its members, dealers, staff, and visitors.
Because of Arizona’s current restrictions on indoor gatherings, the show would have been significantly smaller had the Board voted to move forward. The bourse would have been reduced in size, and educational programming and meetings would have moved online. The
Phoenix Convention Center informed the ANA the day after its Board meeting that all events through February 28, 2021, would be canceled, leaving events such as the Association’s National Money Show in mid-March in an uncertain situation.
