To our members and partners,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 OTM SIG User Conference, scheduled for August 2-5, 2020 in Philadelphia. This decision was made after careful consideration of the global situation associated with the COVID-19 virus for the health and safety of our community.

OTM SIG is a non-profit organization and this decision will have a financial impact on the organization. Because of excellent leadership and financial stewardship, the organization has sufficient reserves to be able to do what is right for the community without jeopardizing the on-going operations of the organization.

The OTM SIG team is currently working to create an expanded e-Learning calendar through the end of this year to bring you the enriching content you have known to trust from our many years of events. We look forward to seeing you at our 2021 event in Philadelphia.
