SABEW20 has ended
Out of an abundance of caution related to COVID-19, SABEW20, which was set for April 30 and May 1 in Toronto, has been postponed. We are working with our Toronto host partners Ryerson University and the Globe and Mail to reschedule the 57th annual spring conference and BIB Awards Ceremony at a later date. SABEW will continue to monitor the situation and keep the membership informed.

SABEW member organizations, speakers and sponsors have reached out to us sharing updates regarding travel restrictions to conferences, both inside and outside the U.S. due to COVID-19. To protect the health and safety of our members we are following recommendations to postpone large gatherings.

Refunds to conference attendees have been issued. Please contact the hotel directly to cancel your room at no charge: 1-800-CHELSEA (243-5732) or 416-595-1975.
